Madison - Federal officials are threatening to withhold new money and take back previous funds for Wisconsin's food assistance program if state officials don't scale back efforts to privatize it.
The letter from federal officials follows an April visit to Wisconsin by U.S. Department of Agriculture staff and goes a step further than similar past warnings by saying the state FoodShare program is already in violation of federal rules because of the
privatization efforts by two governors.
Federal officials are also separately questioning a new privatization proposal put forward by Republican Gov. Scott Walker for FoodShare, the successor program to food stamps.
The potential loss in funds would come from those used for the administration of the program, not the benefits to poor participants. It would leave Wisconsin officials with little choice but to use additional state taxpayer money to keep the program running and ensure priorities, such as providing timely help to the needy and detecting fraud.

Yeah, that'll work. Walker will just slow down or stop providing help to the needy, as he doesn't care about the People of Wisconsin, only is corporate donors.
