Republicans Strine, Stone and Blakey Hate Retired People but Love Money

How else can you characterize it when a simple bill to protect the rights of retired people who live in manufactured housing gets:

1) hijacked by Donna Stone who tried to double to size of the bill diluting to the point of uselessness and

2) when that fails and it looks like the bill might pass and give retirees the right of first refusal Strine and Blakey use parliamentary maneuvering to get the bill killed?

The bill protected sellers by making the market price any price negotiated between the seller and a buyer – and simply allowed retirees to buy the property at that negotiated price.

 The only people who could possible lose money In the deal would be big developers who would have to do the leg work to come to a market price for the land at the risk of having people who actually live on the property match that price.

 Gasp!

Why am I not surprised to hear Donna Stone’s name came up in the middle of this?
