Energy issue needs answers, not stunts
I believe we should support common-sense, long-term solutions to our energy crisis.
Recently, Democratic candidate for Congress, Dan Seals, showed what not to do.
He offered a cheap stunt to give gas for votes in a way that caused a traffic jam.
His stunt wasted more gas than it saved, topped by a whopping $2,200 bill from the Lincolnshire police.
Our Congressman, Mark Kirk, offers a more serious approach.
He has backed raising fuel economy standards, a new renewable requirement for power and authored an innovative bill encouraging employers to offer Metra and CTA benefits to employees.
This is a serious issue. We don't need Seals stunts. Lets back the kind of long-term leadership Kirk has shown.
