Edwards: Raising The Cost Of Student Loans Unwise
Special to the Eagle

Bryan-College Station Eagle
By REP. CHET EDWARDS | Op-Ed

I am deeply disappointed that the U.S. House leadership pushed through the Budget Committee on Thursday partisan legislation that could add $5,000 to $28,000 to the cost of college student loans.

Renew Our Promise This Memorial Day
A Column by Chet Edwards

For 137 years, we have paused on the last Monday of May to remember and honor those Americans who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to country. This year, as we salute fallen heroes from a new generation and those who have gone before, we should pledge to them and to ourselves to honor their sacrifice every day. One of the most meaningful actions the nation can take is for Congress to keep the many promises that have been made to our men and women in uniform, to our military veterans, to reservists and members of the National Guard, and to military retired.
