Food Stamp Bill Prefiled

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...State Representative Rick Nelson has prefiled a bill that might make using food stamps more difficult for people in Kentucky. Nelson wants to stop food stamp users from buying "junk food" such as sodas, cookies, and candy. Nelson says sweets or junk food is not an appropriate purchase with the food stamp money that the tax payers provide for them. Two other bills are in the works for food stamp users. One requires food stamp shoppers to present a photo I.D. to the cashier and the other allows random drug testing.
