They suggested that he call Don Valentine, an investor who frequently puts money into new firms.

The family income cutoff line for totally free lunches drops to $10,990 from the $11,520 scheduled under the old law. Furthermore, the new legislation urges schools not to notify parents of the changes in eligibility rules for free lunches when asking them to report their incomes, in order not to tempt them...
