 Vilsack visited a sporting goods store
Wednesday to promote President Barack Obama's job-creation program.
The State Journal-Register reports that Vilsack
said he doesn't expect a credit for ethanol blenders to be renewed
at the end of the year. The tax break was included in a 2004
job-creation bill. Blenders mix ethanol with gasoline.
But the agriculture secretary says he expects
biofuels to continue to be vital to alternative fuels.
Vilsack also spent time Wednesday at
Springfield's Old State Capitol, kicking off the 150th anniversary
celebration for the USDA's founding.
