Washington, D. C. - Congressman Dave Loebsack will lead the push, along with a group of lawmakers, in calling for the passage of the Production Tax Credit for wind energy TOMORROW, November 14th.  The lawmakers will take to the House floor to call on Speaker Boehner to bring up and pass legislation to extend the wind energy tax credit.

 

Loebsack has taken the lead in Congress to demand that Speaker Boehner act to ensure the jobs associated with wind energy, including 7,000 in Iowa, are not lost because of the inaction by the Leadership in the House.  Since the beginning of the year, Loebsack has met with personally with the President to encourage his leadership on this issue and stressed the importance of passing this legislation on multiple occasions with Speaker Boehner.
