Looney, Duff & Honig Call on Federal Government to Restore Home Loan Protections for Veterans

HARTFORD — Senate President Pro Tempore Martin Looney, Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff, and Senate Chair of the Veterans’ and Military Affairs Committee Paul Honig today condemned the federal government’s abrupt cancellation of a key VA home loan assistance program that has left more than 10,000 veterans across the country facing foreclosure, and called for an immediate restoration of protections for veterans.

“Reports that more than 10,000 veterans have lost their homes since the federal government abruptly shut down a key program are deeply troubling. The federal government ignored warnings from the mortgage industry that veterans would be kicked out of their homes. We find it unfathomable that federal elected officials would not do everything in their power to support those who served our country. We ask all our colleagues in the General Assembly to join us in calling on the federal government to immediately fix this injustice and give veterans the protections they deserve. We owe them that much, and more.”

Looney and Duff: Senate MAGA Caucus Abandons Governing, Offers Empty Promises

HARTFORD — Senate President Pro Tempore Martin M. Looney (D-New Haven) and Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff (D-Norwalk) today responded after Senate Republicans held a press conference touting false financial promises:

“The Senate MAGA caucus unveiled nothing but an empty political promise that has not been reviewed by nonpartisan fiscal staff, and it has not been subjected to a public hearing. The last time they proposed a real budget was 2018. Since then, they have abandoned responsible participation in governing and resorted to back-of-the-napkin promises. The people of Connecticut have noticed and stopped taking the MAGA Senate caucus seriously. The Democrats will continue the real work of building a vetted budget that delivers actual tax relief rather than political talking points.”
