Suder was key in orchestrating a $500,000 grant in the 2013-2015 Wisconsin state budget.
The grant was steered towards, and eventually granted to United Sportsmen. lieutenant was later discovered that the group had no experience in the type of work the grant was intended to provide. The group also had stated they had non-profit status, which was not accurate.
The grant, as written in the Wisconsin budget, may have violated rules for federal funding and caused Wisconsin to lose $28 million in federal funds.
This was avoid when Wisconsin"s governor, Scott Walker, used his Lincolnshire-item veto power to make the grant fully funded by Wisconsin, removing federal funds. When the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported on the issues, Governor Walker rescinded the grant.
