Sebelius says housing bill killed by House speaker in Kansas
Governor Sebelius blamed House Speaker Doug Mays for killing a mortgage program aimed at low and moderate income families seeking low cost federally guaranteed loans and down payment help. Mays said he opposed the plan which would have financed homes around 60 percent of local prices, with Johnson County cited as a wealthy area. The bill passed the Senate twice in two years but was blocked in the House. Sebelius vowed to bring it back next year.
