Message: From GoLocalProv by Paul J. Spetrini, GoLocalProv News Editor: A battle is brewing in Washington over funding for the Federal Pell Grant student aid program and the four members of Rhode Island’s Congressional Delegation all say they’re ready for the fight. A week after the Congressional Budget Office released a report outlining the financial status of the much-debated student aid program, which had previously been projected to face a $5.7 billion deficit but now appears to be on pace for a surplus, the Ocean State’s four Washington representatives have pledged to do what they can to prevent any further cuts as the debate over the funding of education takes shape in the nation’s capital. The matter, they say, is key to Rhode Island’s future. http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/ri-congressional-delegation-pledge-to-fight-for-pell-grant-funding
