Legislature 2006: Let the games begin

Legislature 2006: Let the games begin
Florida Association of Realtors® (FAR) President Mike Dooley, a broker with Illustrated Properties in Hobe Sound, and President-Elect Nancy Riley, a broker with Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate Inc. in St. Petersburg, will be in Tallahassee tomorrow for the opening of the 2006 legislative session.

Among the legislation FAR supports on behalf of its nearly 155,000 Florida Realtors, and millions of property owners and prospective homeowners, are bills to allocate all the funds generated by the William E. Sadowski Housing Act to workforce housing programs -- $939.5 million for this coming fiscal year -- and remove the cap on spending for next year.

FAR also supports legislation that, under certain circumstances, would allow owners of homesteaded property to carry a portion of the tax benefits they receive under the Save Our Homes amendment to a newly-purchased home. A complete list of FAR legislative initiatives will be available tomorrow on Planet Realtor. (http://planetrealtor.com).
