Bruce Whalen on Drought

From a Whalen Press release:

BRUCE WHALEN FOR U. S. CONGRESS ISSUES A THREE POINT FEDERAL DISASTER RELIEF PLAN

• Farmers      and ranchers in disaster areas will be sheltered from Federal Income Tax      on revenue with the reinvestment of that income in their land and future      drought protection. This      relief will help South Dakota      farmers and ranchers survive this historic drought and further develop South        Dakota’s own ethanol and biodiesel production. 
• The Federal      Government will provide diesel fuel to the farmers and ranchers in      disaster areas at a $1.00 per gallon less than market price. This will lower per ton hay      costs and help feed South Dakota’s      livestock. 
• Provide      for a permanent solution to South Dakota’s struggling rural water system. On Wednesday in Belvidere,       SD, the water pressure was so low that      the state had to shut down the rest stop. If we as a state cannot provide      enough water pressure to flush a toilet then how will we fill our fire      trucks to protect our local communities or to send brush trucks to fight      the wild land fires burning in South Dakota      this week? This has evolved      beyond the need for water for our state’s Ag land into a real life public      safety issue. We must provide      this basic safety infrastructure to all rural communities.
