Advocates, Wisconsin Democrats Pitch Free School Lunch For All

Democratic lawmakers at the Wisconsin Capitol are framing free school lunches for all students as a way to get more farm fresh vegetables into schools, as a way to hire more school workers and as a way to make sure no children go hungry. They are not, however, saying it will be cheap.
