Sen. Duff & Sen. Marx Condemn Trump for Refusing to Sign Federal Housing Bill

“Donald Trump just told every family struggling to buy a home or pay rent that their problems can wait. More affordable housing is sitting on his desk, and he walked away from it to play games with our elections. It’s shameful. Connecticut passed our own housing bill last year because that’s what leaders do when families are hurting. Once again, Trump is putting his own self-interest above the American people. We wish he cared as much about lowering costs as he does about himself. We’ll keep building and keep delivering here in Connecticut, no matter how many times Republicans in Washington get in the way.”

– Senate Majority Leader Bob Duff (D-Norwalk) and Senator Martha Marx (D-New London), Senate Chair of the Housing Committee, react to President Trump’s cancellation of the signing of the 21st Century Road to Housing Act.
