Sensenbrenner Cosponsors Bill to Repeal Ethanol Mandates

This came in the email.  Thanks, Sensenbrenner!

Congressman F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr. (R-Menomonee Falls) is a cosponsor of HR 5911, the Remove Incentives to Produce Ethanol Act of 2008 (RIPE Act), introduced this week by Representative Jeff Flake of Arizona.  This bill will repeal the legislative provisions responsible for the artificial demand for ethanol by:

* Repealing the renewable fuel standard;
* Repealing tax credits for ethanol producers;
* Repealing tariffs on importing ethanol.

I’d love to take some credit for it, but credit rightly belongs to Dad29, and, of course, Rep. Sensenbrenner.
