Democrat Hillary Clintons president ial campaign is touting her plan to eliminate student debt for state schools. But her new ad on it also makes a claim about the cucurent system of collele loans. E kcrgtv9 and gagatte Fact Check Team put it to the test. I dont believe the federal government should be making a profit off of lending to young people who are borrowing to be able to get their education. The Clinton Campaign points to a Government Accountability report in 2014 government would make 66billion dollars from the interest on Student Loans. But that report uses a federally mandated method to calculate that cost and revenue based on current Interest Rates and assuming all of the loans and interest will be repaid. That paints a much better inancial picture of the program. The Congressiona L Budget Office uses a fair value approach, which accounts for the inherent risk in lending money.

It would be just north of where taft avenue intersects with 420th street southeast. Kcrg tv nines Iowa City Bureau chief mark carlson looks at the impact such a project would have on the city. Lower city park in iowa city is perhaps the citys most popular place to have a catch. Or play some tennis. But cititofficials say there needs to be more places like this as city park continues to flood, the city continues to expand east, and the countys population continues to grow. We wouldnt go through the trouble of hiring of was a doable project. Officials hope to have a draft of the new east side Sports Complex out sometime in the next month.

The hawks are undefeated in duals and the wrelers have nothing b positive things to say about their new coach. I really like him. Hes got some good technique for us and hes really pushing the team environment, so itgoing really well. It didnt take long for coach thompson to run into the team he knows so well. This past weekend at the five season duals, the prairie hawks found themselves matchedup with alburnett in the finals. Its kind of weird when every kid that steps on the mat, you at one point or another have coached in some wayay and some of them for a long time. He coached the kids on both teams and it speaks highly of him being as though he was the coach of most of the wrestlers in thompson still has so many connections to this alburnett team, his sights are set on the future at prairie. To see those guys still doing well, and i knew they would under coach clayton rush, it was rewarding to see and then to see our guys step up and compete for prairie was great as well.
