Great Story on Tyler Main!

"ALTONA, Ill. — Heroes don’t wear capes. They’re paged at 3 a.m. to fight a fire, the next day they’re advocating for ag on Capitol Hill and the following day pitching in for the local FFA."

Illinois farmers are one step closer to new domestic corn demand, lower fuel prices, and cleaner air.

Thank you to the bipartisan champions who helped move year-round E15 through the House. Now, we look to the Senate and continue the push for Illinois farm families.

[Rep. Nikki Budzinski @RepNikkiB]

I’m LIVE outside the House steps with @RepShontelBrown, @RepAdrianSmith and @RepFischbach to demand we pass year-round E15 NOW.

It’s a win for our farmers and for Americans facing high gas prices. https://t.co/I61KwNOSpo

@janschakowsky @repdeliaramirez @RepMikeQuigley @RepChuyGarcia @RepUnderwood your IL colleagues @RepBudzinski & @RepSorensen are fighting hard for year-round #E15 passage.

Lower prices at pump. More demand for Illinois corn. Cleaner fuel for cleaner air.

Year-round E15 is a common sense energy solution for Americans. Lower prices at the pump, increased energy security, and demand for corn growers. We need E15 now.

@WaterwaysCouncl @AWOAdvocacy Congrats!

One fair question about the proposed Inland Navigation Construction Organization (INCO) framework: "Has anything like this worked before at USACE?"

Yes. Repeatedly.

The INCO model mirrors proven program delivery structures already used within the Corps of Engineers for:

→ Installation Information Services (IIS) programs

→ Military Construction (MILCON) programs

→ Other large-scale Civil Works programs

→ The USACE Dam Safety Program, which manages the Corps' entire dam portfolio as an integrated enterprise

What these have in common: a unified program office, delegated authority from senior leadership, and a single point of accountability for performance across a complex, multi-District portfolio.

Extending this same approach to inland navigation isn't a radical restructuring. It's applying an existing USACE best practice to the program that needs it most.

The framework is flexible. It's designed to be adapted, not imposed. But the core insight is non-negotiable: programs are delivered by programs, not by loosely coordinated projects.

Progress shouldn’t take decades.

E15 has been approved since 2011 yet in 2026, we’re still facing delays and temporary fixes instead of real solutions. Farmers deserve better.

How much longer is “almost” good enough?
