From the article: “More than one in five children in Tennessee live in poverty — enough to fill the University of Tennessee’s Neyland Stadium more than three times and the Tennessee Titans’ Nissan Stadium almost five times.”
The state is hoarding over $700 M in funds intended for families in need who are enrolled in TANF, and advocates wants officials to find a better use for it.
