GOP raises funds to defend House majority in strong first quarter
The House GOP campaign committee reports 31.2 million on hand after nearly 10 million raised in March. NRCC takes in 21.2 million in Q1, best first quarter since 2003, leaving it about 8 million ahead of 2012 pace while House Democrats report 40 million in the same period. Democrats loom with big fundraising as donors back federal races nationwide. Liesl Hickey says the NRCC will stay on offense against Obamacare and Pelosi leadership.

Study finds corn waste biofuels not cleaner than gas
A $500,000 federally funded study in Nature Climate Change finds biofuels from corn residue emit 7 percent more greenhouse gases than gasoline in the early years. Long term they may improve but fail to meet the 2007 renewable fuel standard, challenging cellulose biofuel expectations. Half of initial cellulosic market may come from corn residue.
