(Jessica) Tusing and (Avery) Feldman, along with Ted Thurn MPA, Senior Director of Government Affairs at the Institute of Real Estate Management spent two days meeting with congressional staff to discuss important issues facing the real estate industry in New York City.
The group met with staff from the offices of Senators Gillibrand and Schumer, as well as Representatives Torres, Lawler, and Jeffries. They discussed several key issues, including the Corporate Transparency Act, Local Law 97, and the importance of tapping into the knowledge and expertise of property management professionals before New York City laws are passed.
“It is important for our members to be involved in the legislative process and to advocate for the interests of the real estate industry,” said Tusing. “We are grateful for the opportunity to meet with lawmakers and their staff to discuss these important issues.”
Feldman added, “We believe that it is essential for policymakers to understand the impact that their decisions have on the real estate industry. We are committed to working with them to find solutions that benefit both the industry and the community.”
