Courtney applauds the bipartisan compromise preventing student loan rate hike
On Friday, June 29, 2012, Congressman Courtney spoke on the floor of the House of Representatives after the House passed legislation to prevent the interest rate on subsidized Stafford student loans from doubling on July 1. Courtney introduced legislation on January 25 to permanently lock in the low rate, and worked with a number of groups - including PIRG, USSA, Campus Progress, Young Invincibles, Credo Action, and Rebuild the Dream - for months to prevent the rate from doubling.
