WAYNESBORO — The November midterm elections narrowly gave the U.S. House a Republican majority, and newly re-elected 6th District Rep. Ben Cline thinks that favors his political agenda. “The view I have is the federal government is too big, does too much and needs to rein in spending,” Cline, R-Botetourt County, said Monday during a town hall at the Waynesboro Elks Lodge. Much as he did during his fall campaign, Cline recited issues such as combating inflation, increasing energy production and stemming illegal immigration at America’s southern border. He thinks inflation can be helped by increasing energy production. Cline said an increase in energy production would not only help with gas prices, but could result in more energy exports than imports for the United States. Cline said inflation is hitting farmers with increased fertilizer prices and families with bigger utility bills. |
