State Senator Paul Doyle reports that language to amend the law which restricts charitable distribution of food to the needy, is in the current budget implementer bill which comes before the legislature for a vote today. Doyle also indicated that the governor supports the change in the food law, although he warned that the governor might not like the budget bill as a whole, and a veto is possible.
Doyle also indicated that the State Department of Health attempted to water down the language of the amended bill, but that the legislature resisted the weakening of the change and went with the language originally proposed by State Attorney General Richard Blumenthal. That language is below.

This is so foolish, St. Vincent should have just put a bucket of pennies outside their door and as people walk in they take a penny and hand it to a St. Vincent worker and that would have constituted the "SALE OF FOOD" and none of this would be nessesary.
Putting pennies outside the door is too easy. Politicians need to complicate everything.
