2020 MT Governor's race: on Welfare & Poverty


Reilly Neill: Need to double down on community effort to feed the hungry

No one should be denied the right to healthy food in our state, especially the elderly, poor and young. We need to be building food security as we stand to face a host of other agricultural challenges that may prove overwhelming for our state in the future. Shoring up our social safety nets should be a priority. Rather than reverse the gains we as a state have made against poverty, we need to double down on the community effort to feed the hungry.
