Does Rounds represent state or wind energy?

Letter: Does Rounds represent state or wind energy? | Argus Leader | Jan. 23, 2017 | www.argusleader.com

Recently, I was online tuning into KELO 1320 radio to listen to some talk shows. Before I could get what I wanted, I had to listen to a pro-wind energy commercial with our own Sen. Mike Rounds doing the talking. Apparently, he hasn’t paid any attention to the backlash from his constituents in Lincoln, Bon Homme, Charles Mix, Davison, Sanborn and other counties against this taxpayer scam called wind energy.

Is Rounds a senator who represents us, or a lobbyist who supports whoever pays him? I see on his top 20 campaign contributors are NextEra Energy and Berkshire Hathaway, huge wind farm developers. It didn’t take Rounds very long to figure out the system.
