“Our families are going to go hungry,” Assemblymember David Tangipa, R-Fresno, told The Center Square. “[Democrats] are saying, ‘It’s finally worth it to let families starve,’ when we’ve got to create a cohesive plan that figures out compromise in the state because families depend on their action. Right now we’re getting inaction.” …“Without those types of benefits, it makes it very hard. Families are just trying to survive and eat,” Tangipa told The Center Square. “I was one of those kids where the first time I had consistent meals was whenever I would go back to school. When you grow up in extreme poverty like that, those are the only options you have.”
