Demos Use Housing Defeat In Campaigning
In a House vote last night the cooperative housing program failed 238 to 355 as lawmakers sided with opponents of the plan. A separate $4,009,000,000 expansion of the existing program passed 361 to 108, while the Senate already rejected the coop idea. A House-Senate conference will seek a compromise housing bill without the coop element, shaping political debates for the upcoming elections.
