Governor Maura Healey decried the federal government for cutting funding to a program which is used to provide healthy, locally sourced foods to Massachusetts schools.

"Just another example of bad actions by Elon Musk and Donald Trump that are going to hurt people here in the state," Healey told reporters.

Healey said the State Department of Early and Secondary Education received notice from the U.S. Department of Agriculture that the state would not receive $12.2 million in grants to fund the Northeast Food for Schools program for next school year.
