It’s February 25th: Derrick Van Orden’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: Van Orden abandoned his leverage and refused to stop Republicans from stripping E15 out of a must-pass spending bill.
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.
Van Orden is spending his time posing for photo ops instead of taking any real action.
DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Derrick Van Orden caved to his party bosses instead of standing up for Wisconsin, and is failing yet again. It’s time for new leadership that will actually put Western Wisconsin first.”
