DAVE LOEBSACK: “People often ask me--you know, I am from Iowa--why are you on the Armed Services Committee? We don't have any bases.”

Because this entire waiver process has happened, really, without any transparency whatsoever, I am disappointed, my constituents are disappointed, and we really have no idea whether those gallons have been reassigned as required by law.

Rural economic development is absolutely critical.

Well, I will say that rural America is hurting big time, and these investment tax credits for solar, and production tax credits for wind have been very, very wonderful for rural America, for our farmers, and for clean, renewable energy…

I am extremely disappointed in the action as you might imagine and the lack of transparency and accountability in the process is also unacceptable.
