I came across a recent piece of legislation that I have not heard of being debated until now. I have not yet read enough for comprehending this bill, but I am suspicious as its sponsor is Maxine Waters. I am apprehensive about any welfare legislation sponsored by democrats. We already give away too much money and benefits to people who are too lazy to work.

Anyone care to take a look-see at this bill and offer an opinion? I will read it in the next day or two myself.

Co-sponsors:

Rep Biggert, Judy [IL-13] - 3/29/2007
Rep Davis, Danny K. [IL-7] - 6/20/2007
Rep Delahunt, William D. [MA-10] - 5/15/2007
Rep Frank, Barney [MA-4] - 3/29/2007
Rep Payne, Donald M. [NJ-10] - 5/15/2007
Rep Shays, Christopher [CT-4] - 3/29/2007

Long Title:

To reform the housing choice voucher program under section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937.
