Danbury to get assistance to house 15 more homeless vets

From the Danbury News Times:

“For the first time, Danbury will receive 15 federal housing vouchers to take homeless veterans off the streets, U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy announced Monday.

“We make a promise to our soldiers when we ask them to fight for our country,” Murphy said. “… And then we don’t live up to it. We need to take care of our veterans when they return home.”

On The Issues

21st Century Buy American Act


Did you know existing "Buy American" laws require 50% of taxpayer dollars spent on the purchase of goods to be products manufactured in the United States? These laws have been on the books since 1933 and were passed to help create American jobs during the Great Depression.

But more and more, they are abused through a "waiver" process that cost American taxpayers thousands of jobs and millions of dollars.

That's why - in a time of staggering unemployment - I have introduced the "21st Century Buy American Act" to increase transparency, close loopholes and strengthen the current law.
