SB687 requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to report to the General Assembly and the Governor by December 1, 2023, and every 5 years thereafter, on the efforts by the State, political subdivisions, and housing authorities to promote fair housing choice and racial and economic housing integration.
The Maryland State Senate passed SB687 on April 9, 2021 by a vote of 47 to 0. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this is a blatant socialist program that accepts Marxist ideas that benefit only certain people in society. That is the opposite of what is said in the Declaration of Independence, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” We are all equal and no one in society should be propped up over another.
