I don’t think I’ve ever said this before.
“I’m not sure which is the lion and which is the lamb.”
I was testifying between a supporter and an opponent of my legislation.
House Bill 1098 would protect the rights of elderly and disabled tenants when their public housing units are sold to private developers.
Before the bill hearing, a lawyer from the Maryland Disability Law Center and a Deputy Commissioner of Housing for Baltimore City met with me and the chair of the subcommittee that would review my bill.
They didn’t reach a final agreement on tenant protections, but they’re close.
I asked them to meet again. They will.
I asked them to testify beside me to let the committee know a compromise was near. They did.
