Rep. Gosar and 17 Members Request Hearing to Examine Radical Obama Housing Regulation
Statement
Today, U.S. Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) released the following statement after formally requesting, along with 17 other members of Congress, that the House Judiciary Committee hold a hearing on the Congressman's sponsored legislation, H.R. 1995, the Local Zoning and Property Rights Protection Act:
"The Obama Administration continues to unleash a flurry of new regulations that seek to circumvent Congress and impose his ideological agenda by any and all means necessary. The president's "assault on the suburbs' may be his biggest overreach yet and this new mandate is not grounded in law or reality. The House of Representatives has already voted twice to defund the president's latest attempt to control where people can live but more must still be done to prevent this dangerous new regulation.
"American citizens should be free to choose where they would like to live and not be subject to neighborhood engineering and gerrymandering at the behest of an overreaching federal government. Congress must remain vigilant in opposing this new edict and I am pleased to be joined by so many colleagues who recognize the perils associated with this looming threat that will negatively impact homeownership."
In the formal hearing request, the requesting members of the House stated: "This new Washington mandate has nothing to do with race, as housing discrimination has been illegal for more than 40 years. This overreaching new regulation is an attempt to extort communities into giving up control of local zoning decisions and reengineer the makeup of our neighborhoods."Today, U.S. Congressman Paul A.
