Today is the day we (SC Realtors) Rally at the Statehouse - lunch on the lawn with our legislators. Bring anyone you know that owns a home - pays property tax - plans on buying a home - rents commercial space - rents residential space..........
What: Rally at the Statehouse
Where: Columbia, South Carolina
Why: To try to get a reform on 'Point of Sale' .....property tax bill H3272 , S435
We received this note last week from Nick Kremydas...
"You did it!
Today, REALTORS achieved a major victory in the SC Senate. H3272, our point of sale reform bill, was set for special order, meaning that we will have debate on our bill next week.
This major procedural step gives us a real chance of passing this legislation before the Senate adjourns next Thursday, one week from today.
Our REALTOR Rally on Tuesday the 19th, is more important than ever! Help us send a message on Tuesday to the Senate that we need POS reform now before they adjourn for the summer! We need you on the steps of the statehouse at noon for our press conference and charge into the lobby! We'll also have lunch on the grounds from 1-3pm. " .
WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. SEE YOU THERE FOR THE CHARGE !!!
Kara, I hope you get a great turnout from your fellow Rrealtors today!
Kara ~ I am with Jen, I hope the rally at the Statehouse is attended by all SC Realtors! Best of luck and much success.
Hi Jen - Hi Terrie,
We had a pretty good turnout - I would have liked to see more. About 30 from our board - and a bus load from Myrtle Beach, and others from around the state. The bill never got addressed yesterday because Senator Hutto started a filibuster on an unrelated bill.....ugh. There are a few going back today - wish I could join them but I have other work to do.
Have a great day y'all
Hi Kara:
Great cause to fight for.
Sounds like you had a good turn-out on Tuesday...hope it continues for your quest...
Hi Toula - yes over 200 Realtors rallying- it was great.... Hopefully they will support this tax reform and get the vote out this year. (the session ends on Thursday..ugh)
