White House threatens veto of Kline student loan bill	23.5.2013	MinnPost
WASHINGTON — There is a little bit of overlap between student loan interest rate reform proposals from Minnesota Rep. John Kline and President Obama, but not enough for the latter to sign the former's into law. The White House threatened to veto Kline's interest rate bill on Wednesday, a day before the House is set it take it up. Kline's bill would align student loan interest rates with the cost of federal borrowing, plus a couple of points. It's similar to a plan Obama proposed last month, only the rates are set a bit higher, they vary from year to year, and Kline's bill doesn't fund additional college affordability efforts Obama supports. According to the White House's formal "Statement of Administration Policy": While the Administration welcomes action by the House on this issue, H.R. 1911 is the wrong approach. First, the bill would not guarantee low rates for today's students. A rate that continues to vary after the loan has already been taken out would create uncertainty and lessen ...

House to take up Kline bill on student-loan interest rates	22.5.2013	MinnPost
WASHINGTON — When it comes to student loan reform, the White House and House GOP agree on this much: now’s the time to overhaul the system. The question is whether they can hash out the details — and get congressional Democrats on board — before a hard July 1 deadline. The U.S. House will vote on a John Kline-introduced bill this week to tie student-loan interest rates to the rate of U.S. borrowing. The plan is similar — but different in important ways — to one pitched by President Obama in his 2014 budget request, both aiming to take the power to set the rates out of lawmakers’ hands. If Congress doesn’t act by July 1, interest rates on subsidized federal student loans will double from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent, repeating a political drama that played out last year, when lawmakers, faced with the rate hike, punted and instituted a one-year fix. “We think that’s a terrible way to set interest rates,” Kline said. “We think the market ought to determine the interest rates because it has a ...

Lawmakers approve $33 million for housing and homelessness-prevention programs	22.5.2013	MinnPost
The Legislature just approved $33 million in funding for housing and homelessness-prevention programs and the state has a new director to prevent and end homelessness. So, is the end of homelessness in Minnesota within reach? “I certainly look at this legislative session as a victory for housing and homelessness. Is it everything we need? No. But it’s certainly an indication that the governor, legislators and the governor’s commissioners recognize the importance of housing stability,’’ said Cathy ten Broeke, who in February took the job of establishing a state Interagency Council on Homelessness made up of representatives from state departments like housing, human services, education and transportation. Further, she said Tuesday after the conclusion of this year’s legislative session that she’s impressed with how advocates for more affordable housing and services for the homeless banded together to make their case to elected officials. Ending homelessness needs to be a common goal, she said. ...
