Urgent! For New Yorkers, don’t miss the opportunity to speak before the Consumer Protection Board this Wednesday, May 16, 2007 to help determine how the State can better protect consumers who contract for home improvements.

In Texas the Senate Business and Commerce held a public hearing on the House version (HB 1038) of what is commonly referred to as the TRCC ‘Homebuilder Protection Agency Bill’. Despite less than 24 hours notice some folks still managed to show up from Austin and as far away as Houston, Dallas and San Antonio to testify. The Senate Debate is coming soon so please make plans for short notice to get to the Capitol for the show down.
