Schumer Calls For Review Of Green Stimulus Projects
11.10.09 |
New York's senior Senator is calling for a sweeping review of the federal economic stimulus package. Senator Chuck Schumer wants to ensure that jobs created with federal funds are not shipped overseas. Senator Schuler is urging the Obama administration to block any stimulus funding directed towards a proposed wind farm in Texas, which would create as many as three thousand jobs in China. Senator Schumer says the goal of the stimulus package is to grow U.S. jobs and manufacturing. In a letter sent to U.S. Energy Secretary Dr. Steven Chu, Schumer urged that the project receive no stimulus dollars unless the project relies on American-built products rather than the Chinese turbines.
