Last week of the Legislative Session

I wanted to pass on the latest from Trey Price, one of our Public Policy representatives in the FAR Tallahassee office. He attended every single TBRC committee meeting, diligently reviewing and analyzing each proposal coming forward. During GARD, I had the opportunity to visit one of their meetings and listen to some testimony about school vouchers so had a small glimpse at the patience required to do his job. Our entire Public Policy team is always on full alert for legal and legislative issues that directly affect members and our customers and clients. Thanks for all you do.

The TBRC finished their work and has seven amendments heading for the November ballot. You can check them all out at http://www.floridatbrc.org/. The FAR has already voted to support CP002: major property tax reform. We'll need every member working diligently to get that and several other key real estate related amendments passed. I'll have more about that effort next week.
