Recap of Legislation Town Hall Meeting

A special thanks to those of you who attended. The speakers included Ed Nagorsky General council for NKBA, Jennifer Perkins Institute for Justice, Lynne Forde Breyer & Robert Lashua both with Grassroots for Design Freedom, NARI’S own Gary Wheat CAPS, CR and James Trahan President AZ AIA. Ed & Jennifer presented the history of the issue as it has evolved throughout the country from the legal side as well as their analysis of the pending bill for Arizona and its possible ramifications. Lynne & Robert shared on a more local level. Both Gary & James shared their association’s opposition to any legislation. The floor was then open for questions and comments and as expected it was a lively segment. In general the majority concluded the less government is involved in our business the better.
