2024 A Strong Year for NAIOP’s Federal Advocacy

  • December 18, 2024
Congress is expected to close out the year this week with an agreement to pass a continuing budget resolution that will avoid a government shutdown before Christmas. That will push the funding debate to at least March 2025, when NAIOP will again be advocating on behalf of its members in what will be the biggest tax reform fight of the last decade.

Who Will the Bear Eat? The Perils of Hiking in the Presidential Woods

  • February 20, 2024
The 2024 presidential election is reminiscent of a classic joke about two guys who are hiking in the woods and come across a grizzly bear, said political commentator and journalist Chris Cillizza during NAIOP’s Chapter Leadership & Legislative Retreat last week.
