  Subject: [Vision2020] change of subject to poverty in Latah County


  Speaking of schools, and health care, etc.  I am curious about poverty in
Latah County.  How many children here, for example, qualify for those school
lunches that Josh wants to "bag"?

  I live in Moscow, but work in two neighboring counties.  I looked briefly
at the census data for Latah, but some of the poverty statistics seem low.
I am wondering if the university population skews the data . . . or if the
data has been adjusted to factor out census tracts that relate to U of I.

  Does anyone know more about Latah County families & individuals who rely
on things like public education and publicly funded health care and school
lunches?  I would welcome the information and the discussion.

  Amy Smoucha
