Democrats Say Upton Is Overreaching On Solyndra

The House Energy and Commerce committee plans to subpoena the administration for documents about the Solyndra affair. Solyndra is the solar panel company that went bankrupt after receiving a half-billion-dollar federal loan guarantee. The committee voted on party lines. Chairman Fred Upton (R-Mich.) said the administration is stonewalling congressional requests for information and that getting documents from the Energy Department is like pulling a tooth without novocaine. Democrats say Upton is overreaching.
