re: #47 Bubblehead II

Well of course he was asking them to approve it. That’s what he was getting paid to do. My point is, that he did not ask for the money himself. The companies that submitted the paperwork for the grants did. All he did was ask that DOE consider their applications consistent with the law/currents regs and if they met the requirements, approve the grant.

Asking for the application to be approved is the same thing as asking for the money. Of course it’s not for himself, it’s for his constituents, but he’s still asking for it.
