TRANSPORTATION & HOUSING APPROPRIATIONS BILL VOTE: America’s - TopicsExpress



          

TRANSPORTATION & HOUSING APPROPRIATIONS BILL VOTE: America’s increasing public housing needs and crumbling infrastructure require sustained investments that will grow our economy, create jobs and strengthen local communities. However, this year’s THUD bill slashes funding for vital transportation programs, including TIGER grants, an incredibly popular and successful program that is driving economic growth and job creation across America. Also, it fails to fully invest in affordable housing programs that lift vulnerable families out of poverty and revitalize low-income neighborhoods. Ultimately, I cannot support a bill that so clearly compromises our ability to meet our long-term transportation and housing needs.
