Wisconsin GOP legislator wants poor to use food stamps only at segregated pantries

Wisconsin GOP state legislator Jess Kremer wrote in his "term paper" about an idea he'd raised during his campaign: limiting the use of QUEST [food stamp] cards to privately-run food pantries overseen by the government. "Yes, it may be humbling to go into the pantry to purchase 'needed items,' but as I mentioned earlier, most people understand that this is meant to be a crutch and not a lifestyle."
