The sponsor's argument

Why Dan Stec says this is needed

This legislation would stabilize the finances of the Potsdam Housing Authority and ensure continued operation of vital programs in both Canton and Potsdam. The legislation was requested by the boards of both authorities and has the support of the relevant local governments.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
