Realtors, Home Owners and Tax Payers across the country and here in Wisconsin, have benefited from the donations made by all Realtors across the country. This is a glimpse of some of the good things made possible in 2009 with the use of our National Realtor Association RPAC donations in 2009, as posted by our local Board of Realtors.  

Legislation Passed:

• $8000 Home Buyer Tax Credit for primary residence that does not require repayment.
• Banks permanently restricted from entering the real estate business.
• Extended the current limit on property tax increases for municipalities and counties for another two years
• A state budget that included no increase in the general income tax rate; no general sales tax rate hike, no sales tax on commissions.

Legislation Defeated:

• Restriction of the mortgage interest deduction as proposed by President Obama.
• Proposed doubling of the real estate transfer tax that would cost your sellers hundreds of dollars on the sale of their home.
• A proposal to change the definition of "agricultural land" for purposes of use-value assessments to exclude any land that was platted or zoned for residential, commercial or industrial use. This would have greatly increased housing costs to buyers and carrying costs for owners.
• A budget proposal to completely repeal Wisconsin's tax break on capital gains (60%), costing investors $485 million over two years.
• The governor's proposal to force a defendant, who is as little as 1% at fault in a lawsuit, to pay up to 100% of the damages if the other defendants are unable to pay. This would have involved REALTORS® in never-ending lawsuits. ("Joint and Several" provision).
• A $15.2 billion plan to provide a state government run universal healthcare plan, with a 4% employee payroll tax and a 10.5% employer tax.

 2 items I am particularly please about are banks being restricted from entering the Realty Business and also stopping a hike in the transfer taxes paid when selling a home.
