TRENTON – Senators Shirley K. Turner and Ronald L. Rice welcomed the Governor’s signature today of their legislation to appropriate an additional $15 million to bolster low-income rental assistance programs that were devastated by Bush budget cuts.
“We have been working for over a year to put into place the appropriate level of funding for the State’s low-income housing program,” said Senator Turner, D-Mercer. “Today the Governor has joined with both houses of the Legislature in standing by our neediest working families in their efforts to afford decent housing. We are picking up the slack for where the Bush Administration has failed our families.”
