Ryan submits testimony on steel dumping

WASHINGTON

U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan of Howland, D-13th, on Monday fought to protect the U.S. steel industry from unfair trade practices. Countries such as China continue to dump steel into markets and dilute the price of the product. Ryan submitted testimony to the U.S. Department of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative about the issue.

Home prices rise faster than incomes

WASHINGTON

U.S. home prices climbed at more than double the rate of incomes in January, a trend that ultimately could create affordability challenges for buyers. The Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index rose 5.7 percent from a year earlier, a slight increase from the 5.6 percent annual increase in December, according to a report Tuesday.
