NCAR Turning Dirty Harry
Laura Leslie has the best account we've seen of the coercion going on at the NC Association of Realtors (NCAR), the strong-arming of members to cough up another $75 in extra dough so that NCAR can stomp on any county government even considering a land transfer tax ("De-Listed?").
Apparently, some realtor members are resisting, and they're being treated to less than subtle threats for their resistance.
It's questionable ... the advice NCAR is passing out that the money, earmarked for political lobbying, can be written off as a business expense.
