WE COULD MAKE IT BETTER.

I JUST DON'T SEE RANK CHOICE VOTING BEING A PART OF THAT.

>> Barry: SENATOR MATTHEWS, I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A CRACK AT THIS QUESTION FROM A VIEWER IN PRINCETON WHO WANTS TO KNOW THE STATUS OF THE FEEDING OUR SCHOOL CHILDREN BILL AND WANTS TO KNOW WHERE THAT'S AT, HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT.

VERY QUICKLY LET'S TAKE THAT QUESTION.

SENATOR MATTHEWS.

>> APPEARS THE BILL IS MOVING THROUGH THE PROCESS.

WE HAVE HAD A SYSTEM IN PLACE THAT HELPS THE KIDS THAT NEED IT WITH MEALS AT SCHOOL AND SO I AM ASKING THE QUESTION WHERE DO WE HAVE -- WHERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE NEEDING HELP THAT ARE NOT GETTING IT?

IT'S JUST PLANNING TO BUY MEALS FOR ALL KIDS FOR ALL MEALS, THE BEST USE OF OUR DOLLARS?

RESPONSE ALWAYS COMES BACK YOU MUST BELIEVE IN LETTING KIDS GO HUNGRY.

OF COURSE THAT'S RIDICULOUS.

BUT MANY FAMILIES ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE.

SOME CANNOT.

WE HAVE THOSE SYSTEMS IN PLACE TO HELP THOSE.

WE WANT TO BE THE BEST STEWARDS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS WITH WHAT WE DO.

SO I BELIEVE THAT DISCUSSION IS COMING IN THE MINNESOTA SENATE, BUT I STILL HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT IT.

>> WE ONLY HAVE A COUPLE MINUTES LEFT.

REPRESENTATIVE SWEDZINSKI, THE BILL IN THE HOUSE, YOUR VIEW ON IT?

>> IT'S ALREADY BEEN PASSED.

THE BIG CONCERN REALLY -- THIS STEMS FROM AN ISSUE THAT REPRESENT TIFF PUSHED YEARS AGO.

IT WAS FOOD SHAMING FOR STUDENTS.

IT WAS KIDS THAT MAYBE DIDN'T HAVE THEIR LUNCH PAID OR WHATEVER THAT MIGHT BE.

BIG CONCERN WITH THE BILL THAT WAS MOVED OFF THE FLOOR WAS THE FACT THAT IT REALLY DOESN'T STOP THAT.

SO IF YOU DO HAVE A CHARGE, YOU STILL WILL OWE, SO EVEN THOUGH YOU GET THE FIRST MEAL FREE, IF YOU ARE STILL HUNGRY BECAUSE OF FORMER PRESIDENT OBAMA'S WIFE FOOD PLAN AT THE SCHOOLS, IF THE KID IS STILL HUNGRY AND GO BACK OFF AND PUT IT ON THE TAB, AT SOME POINT THEY ARE GOING TO RUN UP DEBT.

HOW IS THAT DEALT WITH?

KIDS AREN'T ALLOWED TO EAT?

DO THEY GET THEIR FOOD THROWN IN THE GARBAGE?

IT DOESN'T ALLOW THE FLEXIBILITY IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

>> Barry: SENATOR FRENTZ, 30 SECONDS, THE FLOOR IS YOURS.

>> GOOD POINTS MADE BY SENATOR MATTHEWS AND REPRESENTATIVE SWEDZINSKI.

I'M PROBABLY A YES ON THE BILL.

I'M SOMEWHAT MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE NUMBER OF KIDS THAT ARE GOING HUNGRY THAT I THINK WOULD BE FED BY THIS.

I RESPECT THE COST ARGUMENT.

AT THE END OF THE DAY THE UPSIDE FOR A KID AND HEARD NUMBERS AS HIGH AS 8, 9, 10% THAT SHOWS UP HUNGRY AND WOULD EAT, MAKES IT
