Voting analysis

One of Dwight Evans's bills would fund the rehabilitation of historic school buildings. Old schools are expensive in a specific way — the structure has heritage protection, the wiring predates the equipment, and the district that owns it has no capital budget. A federal rehabilitation programme is the only route by which such a building gets fixed rather than abandoned.
