Panel passes Wis. food 
stamp work requirement
Gov. Walker to court Iowans, stoke 2016 talk
Wisconsin State FlagMADISON — The Legislature's budget committee on Tuesday approved Gov. Scott Walker's proposal requiring that able-bodied adults on Wisconsin's food stamps program to spend at least 20 hours a week working or getting trained for a job. Democrats, who voted unanimously against it, called the move a mean-spirited attack on poor people. Republicans, who hold a 12-4 majority on the committee, all supported it as a way to help make people on the program become more self-sufficient.

MADISON, Wis.  — Another year, another campaign. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is gearing up for re-election next year, his third race in four years. But the Republican's courting of out-of-state donors and conservatives, his plans to visit Iowa this week and his refusal to say whether he would serve out another full term if elected suggest he might be seeking a much bigger prize — the presidency. Not that he will openly acknowledge as much.
 

Veteran DB Charles Woodson
returns to Raiders
After Mattingly criticism, Dodgers top Brewers 9-2

ALAMEDA, Calif. — Charles Woodson is coming back home to Oakland. Woodson signed a one-year contract with the Raiders on Tuesday to return to his original team after leaving seven years ago for Green Bay as a free agent. The move will be widely popular with Raiders fans, many of whom staked out the team's facility on Tuesday to greet Woodson on his visit and urge him to sign with the team.

MILWAUKEE — Dodgers manager Don Mattingly criticized his team and benched All-Star right fielder Andre Ethier, then watched Los Angeles beat the Milwaukee Brewers 9-2 Wednesday. Mattingly, in the third and final year of his contract, discussed his club's lack of mental toughness and said he wanted a balanced team that has grit and fight. He benched Ethier for the third time in six games and said he was "putting out my lineup that I feel is going to be the most competitive and going to compete the hardest."

Wis. panel considers 
bill limiting local recalls
US DOJ to review flawed Milwaukee ATF sting

MADISON — A group of municipal officials pressed Wisconsin lawmakers Tuesday to make it harder to initiate recall elections at the local level, saying it's currently too easy and that such campaigns often divide communities. Town of Garfield board chairman Steve Dickinsen told the Assembly Committee on Campaigns and Elections that a recall is usually the best way for people to call out officials they don't agree with on issues, but it can be "divisive" if done too frequently.

MILWAUKEE — The U.S. Department of Justice's inspector general has promised to look into a flawed ATF sting in Milwaukee as part of a larger review into how the agency's employees handle certain sensitive cases. Inspector General Michael Horowitz said he's concerned about how the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is being run. He wrote to two Republican Congressmen recently saying the Milwaukee sting appeared to raise serious issues relating to the ATF's overall management and oversight.

Brian and Jennifer Pederson and their three children, a 7-year-old daughter and twin sons who turned 5 on Monday, were vacationing in Georgia when they learned their house near Altoona had exploded into a pile of rubble.

Wisconsin Government Accountability BoardMADISON — Wisconsin election officials on Tuesday agreed to ask the Legislature to revamp the state's absentee voting regulations by streamlining request deadlines, expanding electronic ballot access for overseas voters and implementing other changes. The state Government Accountability Board agreed after only brief discussion to make the recommendations at the request of a municipal clerk task force.
