>Bill clarifying student loan obligations reintroduces in Congress
When the Bryski family of Marlton contacted their congressman in 2009, they told his staff about their son’s death and the burden of the student loan debt they had inherited. The next September, a bill named in honor of their son, Christopher, passed the U.S. House.
But then the bill’s shepherd, U.S. Rep. John Adler (D., N.J.), was defeated in the November 2010 election. In the spring, Adler, 51, of Cherry Hill, died suddenly of an infection after heart surgery.
The House bill, which aimed to further clarify the student loan process to borrowers, expired in 2010, and a similar measure proposed in the U.S. Senate failed to become law. (Farrell, The Philadelphia Inquirer)
