Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill is a good idea for renters because it would help them keep more of their money. Rent can be very expensive, and getting some money back from the state could make a big difference for families. It's important for people who rent to tell their lawmakers they like this idea while the bill is still being discussed.
