SB 116-31: Public Housing Sustainability Act - Failed

[Pyro]

This legislation will keep public housing sustainable and affordable for years to come.

I'd appreciate Pyro dropping by to say a few more words about this one, quite honestly.

Most of the proposals in this bill are relatively minor changes designed to boost existing federal housing programs, review cost-effectiveness and sustainability of two under-discussed funding initiatives, and provide for budget increases as recommended by the SubD of Housing. I would encourage this Senate further expand upon this bill to help minimize homelessness and guarantee housing to all.

[Pyro]

Nay. WestMidlander is right. This bill isn't fleshed out enough and no one offered any amendments to improve it.

Why ask for a statement if you intended to vote against this, anyway?

I didn't intend to vote against this. I was expecting someone to offer an amendment to improve the bill.

Although I do concur with the desire to see deliberation prior to a vote, I disagree with the notion that this bill is presently not in a satisfactorily passable state. However, I am not a senator, so this is up to you.
