Congratulations to Kay Barnes on the League of Conservation Voters' endorsement. They put out a release today that highlights some pretty clear differences with Sam Graves. In it, they write:
Yesterday, Graves voted against a bill (H.R. 5351) to roll back billions of dollars in tax breaks to big oil companies, and to reinvest that money into tax credits for wind, biomass and other clean, renewable energy sources. That investment will not only help reduce the carbon emissions that create global warming, it will create thousands of American jobs. The three year extension on wind energy tax credits alone will create a stable market for wind power that will allow companies across the country to expand their operations in places like rural Missouri.
Surprise, surprise. Sam Graves supports Big Tax Breaks for Big Oil. Its amazing what $50,000 in campaign contributions can buy you. Check out Kay's website for more info and the entire release. [0]
