US senators help Seattle college remove red tape

U.S. Sen. Patty Murray says she and fellow Sen. Maria Cantwell have overcome some very expensive red tape on behalf of Seattle Central Community College.
With repeated letters and phone calls, they encouraged the U.S. Education Department to overturn an earlier decision preventing the college from competing for $2.5 million in federal dollars.
The money to helps low-income students with counseling, tutoring and other services has been going to the college for more than 30 years. An application to renew the grant was rejected in April for being incomplete.
Sen. Murray spoke with Education Secretary Arne Duncan about a week ago. He called back on Wednesday to say he had changed his mind and the college's application has been reinstated.
