Our friends at ALTA put up the "good fight" to protect our interests in Washington, but their ability to keep our issues moving forward often depend  on the general political climate and the issues that "Absolutely Must" be addressed -- because those tend to crowd the more mundane issues of keeping the real estate economy on track.

I found the attached article from the Washington Post to provide an interesting guide to some of the hot button issues that must be resolved before the election.  

Hope you enjoy!
