Rep. Kind Statement on Student Loan Relief Plan
WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI) today released the following statement
following President Obama’s announcement to ease student loan burdens.
“Ensuring our students access to an affordable college education is key to our economic success
and competiveness as a nation. Investing in our students will help us remain the most
innovative, creative country in the world. I commend the President for helping ease the student
loan burden for college graduates. This step will help the nearly 70,000 students in western
Wisconsin more easily afford an education and will help local graduates reduce their monthly
payments and save money as they start their careers in a tough job market.”
