What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

North Dakota voters will decide on Measure 2 on November 3, which proposes guaranteeing free meals for every student in public schools. The measure is estimated to cost $60 million per year. Sean Cleary supports the measure and suggests funding it through the state's Legacy Fund, while Cole Conley opposes it and suggests using the per-pupil payment.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

If Measure 2 passes, legislators must decide how to fund the program. If they cannot agree on a funding source, the money would come from the state's Legacy Fund. Cutting the per-pupil payment to fund the meals would affect the state's distribution of educational funds.
