I’ve been in public office for almost eight years. If I’m out in public eating lunch or having dinner, you have every right to come up to me and tell me what you think. That’s how public service works. cc: any whining government officials

I remember when my peers were forced to throw their tray of food away and then were given a peanut butter sandwich because they didn't have money in their account. That sandwich was a symbol of shame. What a miserable system. Happy to pay more so we don't treat kids like shit.
