Paul Ryan’s stimulus problem

Updated at 6:10 p.m. with response from Romney campaign.

Paul Ryan says his office mishandled constituent requests for stimulus funding, which is why he claimed to have never requested stimulus funds even as the documents told a different story.

The GOP’s new vice presidential candidate has said repeatedly that he has never asked for stimulus funds, but recent reports indicate he has written letters on behalf of local businesses seeking them.

The Boston Globe reported Tuesday that Ryan had sought stimulus funds for local energy conservation groups from the Department of Energy in late 2009, and a 2010 Wall Street Journal report indicated he sought funds for another local group from the Labor Department.

Even Thursday, Ryan continued to insist he never sought stimulus funds.

“No, I never asked for stimulus,” Ryan said in a local TV interview in Cincinnati Thursday.
