According to CBS News Boston, the state’s $10 million six-month-long emergency contract
entitles migrants and the homeless to $64 per day worth of catering from an Italian
pasta company: “In some cases, the hotels are collecting money from the state for three meals a day, $16
for breakfast, $17 for lunch and $31 for dinner. That means $64 a day per person.” 
I eat on $5 to $10 a day.

Leave it to our governor to spend $64 a day on people who will probably just throw it away.
