The Springfield News-Leader’s Chad Livengood wrote an insightful piece on Missouri’s ethanol mandate and how it is hurting Missouri farmers and working famililes. Livengood exposed Hulshof’s blantant self-interest in ethanoal mandates by referring to comments he made to the Missouri Prarire Magazine in the Spring of 2007 when Corny Kenny said:

“My family grows corn. So the idea of high corn prices is appealing to me.”

Really?

Here are a few follow up questions for other journalists who hopefully will follow Livengood’s path:

1. Is the thought of a working mom or dad not being able to get to work because gas is now $4 gallon appealing to you Congressman?

2. The Post-Dispatch recently called you one of the richest members of Missouri’s Congressional delegation. How much do you stand to make now that the ethanol mandate has driven up the price of corn and wheat which you also grow?

3. How can you sleep at night knowing that you’re putting dairy and beef farmers out of business? Many of whom have farmed for generations.

4. Why don’t you have the “moral clarity” to come clean and be honest with people, like a real leader, and admit that you’re getting rich off working families paying $4 gallon in gas?

Afterall, Truth is a Missouri Value. Right Congressman?
