A local Republican congressional candidate says he’s not tied to the budget plans of GOP vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan… despite the efforts of Democrats to link the two.
Rodney Davis says he agrees with Ryan’s philosophy of trying to bring entitlement spending under control and reduce runaway federal deficits… but isn’t necessarily committed to Ryan proposals like converting Medicare to a voucher-style system.
Davis’s Democratic opponent, David Gill, has tried to paint Davis as an unequivocal backer of Ryan’s budget plan.
