EVENTS IN MILWAUKEE
(Mr. GROTHMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is nice to be back in Congress after a
little break being home. We look at the news back home, and in
Milwaukee we had another tragedy. For the fourth time this year, a city
of Milwaukee police officer was shot. This time, sadly, it was fatal.
When Officer Kendall Corder was killed, we suffered another savage
murder in Milwaukee.
When I was a child, Milwaukee was the safest of the 25 biggest cities
in this country. We have gone a long way from that. I hope this House
addresses the root causes of why we have so much more crime in our
major cities than we did 25 years ago.
Also while I was at home, I ran into somebody who is in a low-income
housing unit that receives the low-income housing tax credits. This
person was being asked to confirm that they did not get any raise in
the last year.
This is a horrible program. It is an embarrassment. The Republicans
extended it in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and I hope we
immediately do something to stop this program, which discourages people
from working and improving their lives.
