CAP and GOWN Act Passes, with 34 for and 12 against. The bill was largely endorsed and proposed by Senator Bingaman and Senator Murray. All of the Democrats voted for the bill, as well as Republican senators Collins, Kirk, Murkowski, Snowe, Roberts, Isaacson, and others. Ultimately, this bill passed with a lot of bipartisan help.
Senator Bingaman remarks: "As chairman of the Energy and Natural Resources committee, I've worked tirelessly to help build up a green economy for more sustainable and energy efficient jobs...this bill should help put at risk youth in places where they can take the opportunity to take these new jobs...and have a new green economy. This is huge because it will help bring these new tech jobs to states that have had a really difficult time in this economy."
