CEO Perspective By David B. Bennett REALTORS® POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (RPAC) IS YOUR RESOURCE. GET INVOLVED!! Are you concerned about the following issues? • Promoting home ownership across the economic spectrum • Expanding the availability of health insurance for small businesses • Keeping the federal government out of real estate regulation • Preserving the separation of banking and commerce • Improved congressional oversight of federal regulatory decisions • Fostering a vibrant commercial real estate sector If so, you should know RPAC aggressively pursues the election and re-election of candidates for local, state and federal offices who stand up and support real estate professionals on key issues like these, as well as a long list of other issues critical to our future! For example, your RPAC contribution played a vital role in helping pass “Amendment One” on January 29th. However, we must continue to fight to ensure there is additional Property Tax Relief & Reform in Florida and that you and your clients have access to affordable and comprehensive Property Insurance coverage. Also of concern is a proposal being considered by the Taxation & Budget Reform Commission that could lead to a state sales tax being imposed on your commissions. Remember, “Money is the ammunition of a political army, and RPAC is your personal political defense fund”.
