WATERTOWN, S.D.(KXLG)- Senator John Thune gvve some updates on his recent press releases.

First Senator Thune discuss the recently signed E-15 request from Gov. Noem and other Midwest Governors to sell E-15 all year long instead of just this summer.

Referencing the interview KXLG had with Jim Seurer, CEO of Glacial Lakes Energy, he said if the Nation would agree to E-15 as a standard instead of E-10 it would produce an additional 7 billion barrels a year for the ethanol industry.

One press release Senator Thune released was about ending the extensions for student loans and how much of a burden that is on taxpayers.

Thune goes on to explain that this does not negate the ability for this with financial stress to still seek financial assistance.

Thune says VA is not being used properly, especially when it comes to the “border crisis”, or high amounts of illegal immigrants coming into the U.S.

Inflation is affecting everyone differently, but affecting us all nonetheless; Senator Thune talks about what can be done.
