                          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.
