MILWAUKEE (WITI) — Governor Scott Walker on Thursday, January 30th asked the Obama Administration for help with the state’s propane shortage.
“We went through the list I sent to the President and checked off all the things I’d asked for assistance on. They’re acting on it, our partners are, so we’re glad to see that,” Gov. Walker said.
250,000 people across the state of Wisconsin use propane to heat their homes — and those that use propane are now paying some three times more than normal.
Gov. Walker spoke with one of President Obama’s advisors about an hour before the President landed in Milwaukee on Thursday to speak to hundreds of workers at GE’s Gas Engine Plant in Waukesha.
“The federal government’s gonna help us out with rail service and some other federal restrictions,” Gov. Walker said.
Gov. Walker says the Obama administration also set aside $450 million dollars to go the state’s low income home energy assistance program.
Waaiitttt a second.
Didn't this guy just give back a billion dollar surplus?
What the heck is he doing asking the Federal government for help?
So, should Walker NOT go to the federal government to get some of that government cheese that the feds are taking from everyone and redistributing around to those that ask?
Should he ignore that resource that is available to him which HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM HIS PEOPLE THROUGH FEDERAL TAXES?
Sick. You push and push for an ever increasing federal government, demand that all pay for that government (which they do) and then get all surprised when those within that system try and actually use it.
We call that a double standard. Sorry but the people in that states are no more required to shoot themselves in the foot by refusing to partake in federal programs that they are still required to be a part of in financing.
