Sen. John Braun argues that fraud and nepotism within Washington’s Community Reinvestment Plan undermine taxpayer trust and calls for stronger accountability through Senate Bill 6205. Fortunately, SB 6205 is scheduled for a hearing in the Senate Housing Committee at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 28. WHAT DOES SB 6205 DO? SB 6205 addresses the bad combination of nepotism, fraud and lack of accountability in a publicly funded housing program designed to help people of color become homeowners. Next week, I will share committee testimony on SB 6205.
