Ohio Ethanol Supporters Welcomed to Nation’s Capital
Today, Growth Energy welcomed a delegation of four Ohio ethanol supporters to Washington, D.C., for a series of meetings with members of Congress. This is the latest in a series of fly-ins organized by Growth Energy to show lawmakers the depth of support for federal policy in support of ethanol.
The delegates will meet with Sen. Sherrod Brown (D), Reps. Patrick Tiberi (R), Steve Austria (R), Jim Jordan (R), Zack Space (D) and Bob Latta (R) as well as the staffs of Sen. George Voinovich (R), Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D) and House Minority Leader John Boehner (R). Specifically, the meetings will focus on how expanding the production of ethanol could help strengthen the U.S. economy by creating jobs and reducing our dependence on foreign oil.
