Politicians Take Their Stands
To those government officials who opposed the enforcement of the Apartment Information Vendor Act against online real estate services – thank you. These officials showed that they care about making government work for the people, and not for special interests.
To those officials who have fought to block innovation and maintain the status quo, the public needs to know how little you care about them. And to those of you who were supportive at first and then backed away from helping us…who or what made you change your mind?
