NY Senate candidate Wendy Long understands that Kirsten Gillibrand is working to keep fuel prices high and giant ethanol producers rich:
“The worst drought in over 50 years is striking the heartland of the country resulting in astronomically high corn prices, increasing the cost of feed for dairy farmers, and driving up costs for yogurt and other producers. Unfortunately, Senator Gillibrand is more interested in protecting her friends in big ethanol than she is in protecting our dairy farms,” said U.S. Senate candidate Wendy Long.
This is not the first time that Gillibrand has sided with big ethanol. Last June she voted to strike down a measure to roll back $6 billion in federal ethanol subsidies. The measure, S.1057, was dubbed the “Ethanol Subsidy and Tariff Repeal Act.”
Would that more Upstaters joined Long in understanding the connection between subprime mortgage profiteer Gillibrand and the high energy prices that are crippling our economy.
