In a signed editorial, the deeply conservative Fairmont Sentinel disagrees with the picture the NRCC (and its endorsed candidate) have tried to paint of Tim Walz, while applauding his membership in the bipartisan House Energy Working Group.
The Sentinel opines in Walz seeks energy bill; Congress fails to act: (links added by BSP)
Our congressman, Tim Walz, came under fire this week for voting to take a month off instead of staying in Washington to do something about the nation's energy problems, including high gas prices. The National Republican Congressional Committee argues that the Democrat-led Congress is failing citizens by not taking the Republican "all of the above" approach, which includes increasing exploration and drilling while promoting energy efficiency and conservation. The Republicans may have a point about Congress as a whole, but they are wrong about Walz.
. . .We don't know if Walz's plan [see pdf here] will be the one Congress adopts, but we know this: Walz wants to be part of a solution. Congressional leaders should follow his lead.
