The congresswoman introduced the legislation in response to a proposed rule the U.S. Department of Education released on March 14 that would stifle the growth of charter schools by mandating they meet several burdensome requirements before being eligible for grant funds through the federal Charter Schools Program, Rep. Steel’s office explained.

(The Center Square) – President Joe Biden visited POET Bioprocessing, an ethanol plant in Menlo, Iowa, on Tuesday to announce a temporary expansion of E-15 sales for June through September to reduce gas prices.

Biden said that ethanol helps to reduce America’s dependence on foreign oil.
