“We actually received a telephone call from WalMart on Hudson Avenue suggesting that there was welfare fraud, and indicating they were going to call the FBI because people were going in and buying X-boxes, Wii systems, flat-screen television sets,” said Kelly reed, the county’s commissioner of social services. “Wegmans has indicated people are buying tickets to Darien Lake.”

it is only for NY...I beleieve...but here is where the $ came from;

The money is a combination of $140 million in federal stimulus funds and a $35 million donation from philanthropist George Soros. About $6.5 million went to more than 32,400 children in Rochester. Critics have said the program invited waste and abuse, because there are no strings attached to the grant money.

I think it's just for people who collect food stamps. There will be an extra 200 in there for them...

It doesn't make me very happy...

Thanks, Becca! That was interesting. A billionaire philanthropist started all of it and it was for school supplies. Wow! What an incredible man.
