Housing Provider testimony against LC-18 went very well last night. However, we were overshadowed by the amount of testimony in favor of LC-18. You can see last night's hearing here:

I urge all members that have not submitted written testimony to do so now!

In this bill legislators are asking Housing Providers to forgive 20% of rent owed by tenants.
