| Description | TALLAHASSEE | Republican Adam Putnam drew heat Thursday over a television ad touting his support for wind power and solar energy, with Democratic opponent Scott Maddox saying the agriculture commissioner candidate has a lousy record in Congress on green issues.
Maddox cited six bills from 2007-2009 that Putnam voted against that would have provided environmental grants to businesses, tax credits for wind facilities, and solar energy breaks for companies and residential customers. Putnam failed to vote on an energy-efficient loan program that went before the U.S. House earlier this month, Maddox said.
"These votes by Congressman Putnam hurt everyday Floridians," Maddox said. |
