U.S. Senators Todd Young of Indiana and Tammy Duckworth of Illinois have re-introduced their bipartisan legislation to protect families living in assisted housing from lead found in drinking water.

The “Get the Lead Out of Assisted Housing Act” would help protect families from lead exposure by requiring the Department of Housing and Urban Development to inspect for lead service lines, create a grant program to address lead contamination and allow a cross-check for lead in water when remediating a home for lead found in paint.

Along with Young and Duckworth, the legislation is also co-sponsored by Senators Dick Durbin of Illinois and Debbie Stabenow of Michigan.

When Tammy Duckworth is the best he can get to work with him on this, you KNOW the legislation is TRASH!

Primary RINO Young! (I wish we still could…)
