A California congressman who wanted to know why the U.S. Department of Defense lobbied Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs to veto a bill aimed at spurring “starter home” construction has finally gotten some answers, but he still isn’t satisfied.
“I think we still have a serious issue of why, in the housing crisis, the DOD is objecting,” U.S. Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Long Beach, told the Arizona Mirror. “It is really unfortunate that they chose to weigh in this way.”
Garcia, a member of the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, sent a letter to the DOD earlier this year obtained exclusively by the Mirror asking military leaders a series of questions about their stance on the measure that received bipartisan support.
