Political Quotes

On the recordOctober 10, 2013
Yesterday, I received this letter from Lori Sywensky. She wrote: As a Commissioner of the Northhampton County, Pennsylvania, Housing Authority, I wanted to make you aware that the County's Housing Authority issued layoff notices today to over half of its staff members because of financial uncertainty created by the government shutdown. The next pay period would be payable on November 1, 2013, and since we cannot assure that there will be sufficient funds to honor that payroll, it has been determined that there is no legal choice other than to shut down operations of the Housing Choice Voucher Program and effect a temporary layoff beginning on Monday, October 14, 2013. If not resolved soon, over 500 landlords will next be notified by the Housing Authority that rent payments will not be issued, resulting in lost income for them and potential eviction for 637 families. That is what she wrote. Mr. Speaker, isn't it time we stopped hurting the people we came here to help? ____________________
