Rounds to skip important meeting with new president elect Obama,
He also said that to show he’s serious about curtailing out-of-state travel, he won’t go to the Obama inauguration or Friday’s meeting in Omaha of the Council of State Governments.
So let me get this straight, Mike, you don’t have a problem with flying the fleet of state airplanes all over the state and country with family in tow, handing out millions in no-bid contracts to campaign contributors, but you can’t afford to drop a couple hundred bucks to drive to Omaha for a very important meeting? Kind of sounds like your own little GOP pity party because your party didn’t win the White House. In these incredibly terrible economic times, I would think it would be very wise to meet with Obama about green energy production in our state since he has vowed to spend billions domestically on infrastructure projects that include roads/bridges (something we badly need) and wind energy (something we have a shit-load of).
Stop being a little neo-con baby and get your ass to Omaha Friday.
