Baron Hill leads on Passage of Energy Bill

From the Floyd County Democratic Party

The fact that 9th District Congressman Baron Hill has been working hard to represents Southern Indiana is no surprise to the citizens of Floyd County. This year alone he has once again championed efforts to move forward the Ohio River Greenway, provide bank stabilization along the Ohio, and bring much needed funds to countless programs in our hometown.

But some might find it surprising to also learn that Congressman Hill has also been leading in other, much more national issues. Case in point, look at the recently passed Energy Bill. As part of the legislation, CAFE standards, better know as average fleet wide fuel efficient standards, where increased to 35 miles-per-gallon for cars for the first time in over thirty years. Congressman Hill was the leader of this push and even sponsored the original legislation increasing these standards which was adopted in the final energy bill.

Once again, Baron Hill is bringing change in Washington for his constituents. Thanks Baron!
