Mr. Chris Macey:

I refer to what Senator Gallagher said earlier about schools needing the money for vending machines. This year four DEIS schools we worked in got rid of their vending machines. They were not getting any money for them. Often it is a historical thing where these vending machines have been there for years and there is no money changing hands. We have heard this said but we have seen no evidence that schools need this money. I am sure that they do; they need every penny that they can get. We would say that in terms of weaning themselves off the money they need, if that exists, that should be something that should come out of some fund because it is very important that it is done.
