Baltimore Right to Water Coalition

The Md General Assembly should make life better, not worse, for us and our communities. HB243 is a step in the wrong direction, because no one should lose their home over unpaid water bills. Take action here: secure.foodandwaterwatch.org/act/no-one-sho… #MDGA2024

@shellyhettleman @SarahForMD @GuyGuzzone @MichaelFor27 @JBJenningsUSA @Senatornjk @corymccray @SenJohnnyRay @SenatorZucker Remove the "owner-occupied" hurdle in HB 243! Don't gut the Water Taxpayer Protection Act of 2019 and protect all residential property from tax sale over water bills!

Thank you, @shellyhettleman and @SarahForMD, for speaking up in committee to protect renters during tax sale! HB 243 needs to be fixed. No one should lose their home over water bills.
