A lengthy read but well worth the effort.  This is an example of why we need to stay focused on our business and the local business conditions.

Thank you Peter Mohylsky. I tried to keep it as brief as possible, but obviously a rather large bill to analyze. 


I agree with your sentiment. The more knowledge about local conditions, the better one is able to apply national policy and change to their business. I hope people that live in areas with a lot of condos keep an eye on this one as it heads to POTUS.

Thanks Jeff, I agree that it's a good thing to see it move forward. If it is signed into law I'll have to do an update post.

Hopefully, re-certification will be less burdensome.

Such a nightmare sometimes! Great update.

This is a good bill and the only thing is that Congress took way too long in getting this through.

I agree Debbie, there is no good reason that a bill that passed through the House so easily should sit in the Senate for five months without a vote.

Thank you very much Lou Ludwig. It's definitely a topic I will be returning too frequently. Rumor has it POTUS will be signing it soon, in which case I will have to post an update.

Good evening Cody Carmen ,  It seems that some bills seem to take forever to get through.  This was one of them.

Larry Johnston always odd when it is a bipartisan bill that takes this long. You would think politicians would be falling over themselves trying to sign this to brag to their constituents about their bipartisanship.
