Today, U.S. Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) released the following statement after the House of Representatives successfully approved his amendment prohibiting HUD from implementing its proposed Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule. The amendment was successfully attached to the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2015: “The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is attempting to create a thinly veiled set of rules and regulations which forces communities to conform to the utopian dreams of an ideological administration or face losing out on billions of dollars in grant money.” Click HERE to read Rep. Gosar's remarks about this amendment. Americans for Limited Government had this to say about the Gosar Amendment: “We call on every member of the House to support Rep. Gosar’s amendment to defund HUD’s scheme to redraw zoning maps in any locality that accepts any part of the $3.5 billion a year in community development block grants from the federal government. The utopian goal of creating evenly distributed neighborhoods based on racial composition and income is bad policy, and it is unconstitutional. ### |
