This was a vote on an amendment by Rep. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) prohibiting federal funds from being used for the construction of an ethanol blender pump (which allows drivers to choose different fuels with varying levels of ethanol at gas stations), or an ethanol storage facility. This amendment was offered to a continuing resolution funding the federal government through September 2011, and cutting $61 billion in federal funding for many government programs. Flake urged support for his amendment: “…The taxpayers have subsidized ethanol for far too long. This amendment will simply bring that slowly to a stop.” |
