Wisconsin: Tea Party candidate Neumann got stimulus money

Hypocrisy, thy name is Mark Neumann...
The leading tea party-backed Republican candidate running for Wisconsin's open U.S. Senate seat who has also been a longtime critic of a federal stimulus program received more than $80,000 in stimulus grants for his own solar energy company.
And another renewable energy company run by former U.S. Rep. Mark Neumann signed a letter in November urging congressional leaders to keep the incentives flowing.
The letter contradicts Neumann's campaign stance calling for the immediate end to the 2009 stimulus program, enacted by Congress as a way to spur economic investment in the midst of a recession. In his 2010 campaign for governor, Neumann said he would devote any Wisconsin stimulus money to tax cuts and reducing the state's debt.
...
This isn't the first time Neumann's campaign rhetoric against the stimulus has contradicted his business dealings. Last year it was revealed that a private school he started in Phoenix as an alternative to public schools there received $174,007 in federal stimulus money.
