- - -The Daily Kos has a little something about Republican congressional candidate Kirk Schuring:
OH-16: Republican State Sen. Kirk Schuring has been a reliable foot soldier for disgraced former Governor Bob Taft on energy issues. Now, as a candidate for the U.S. House, Schuring has a splendid plan for relieving the pressure of gas prices on middle-class citizens: more handouts to Big Oil. From a press release by the campaign of Schuring's Democratic opponent, State Sen. John Boccieri:
On the same day that Exxon Mobil reported the largest quarterly profit of any U.S. company ever, Kirk Schuring announced that the centerpiece of his "economic plan" is cutting Exxon Mobil's taxes and increasing their profits....
I guess Schuring feels that Exxon hasn't made enough money.
