It’s February 25th: Brad Finstad’s deadline for a vote on year-round E15. And yet, his bill is nowhere to be found.
Renewable Fuels Association CEO Geoff Cooper said this morning:
“So this council was given a deadline of February 25th, today, to bring compromise legislation to a vote on the House Floor. Well, as of 8AM this morning we still haven’t seen a bill.”
REMINDER: Finstad abandoned his leverage and refused to stop Republicans from stripping E15 out of a must-pass spending bill. Finstad “did not return multiple requests for comment” about House Republicans’ failures to pass year-round E15.
AND WHAT’S MORE: The Chair of the House Agriculture Committee already made clear E15 will not be included in the long-delayed Farm Bill, further complicating any chance of passage.
Finstad is spending his time posing for photo ops instead of taking any real action.
DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Brad Finstad caved to his party bosses instead of standing up for Minnesota, and is failing yet again. It’s time for new leadership that will actually put Southern Minnesota first.”
