Paid Political Letter - Energy independence - Westrom gets it

To the editor:

I am writing to give credit where credit is due. Torrey Westrom has really demonstrated his support for farmers and rural communities as our local representative. He is greatly respected by farm groups, endorsed by the Farm Bureau and has been the recipient of the Guardian of Small Business award several times. He has been the chief author and co-author of several pieces of renewable energy legislation, which is steadily expanding markets for commodities.

A commitment to our next generation of biofuels is one major way we are going to put actions with our words of becoming more energy independent. Torrey Westrom gets it.

Torrey will also oppose expensive “cap and trade” schems that have been recently pushed by extreme groups. These schemes are merely a huge energy tax, which would stifle ag. Processing plants and job creators all across Minnesota.

Keep Torrey Westrom working for our rural communities and farmers by re-electing him on November 2.
