Andy Davidson reflects on a fast and furious 1st quarter

By Andy Davidson, North State BIA Chair

I don't know about you, but I certainly have no clue where the time went. It seems like only yesterday we were all enjoying the pomp and circumstance of the Installation of Officers Gala and thinking about the exciting potential 2017 held for the homebuilding industry. In a flash, we've got the first three months of the year under our collective belt and I think we can all agree that it's been a great ride thus far.

THE FIGHT TO STOP AB 199 IS PICKING UP STEAM AND WE NEED BIA MEMBERS TO GET INVOLVED
|
|
|
Our latest AB 199 update outlines how you can join the resistance
|
|
|
AB 199, the prevailing wage bill authored by Assembly Member Kansen Chu (D-San Jose) passed out of the Assembly Labor and Employment Committee recently. The homebuilding industry showed up in droves - to the tune of 250 individuals, including many North State BIA members - to voice its opposition. But we need to do more to fight against this bill which, if enacted, would lead to an increase of a staggering 40% to 50% per new home built in California, rendering many new home projects completely unfeasible.To that end, our partners at CBIA have outlined a couple very helpful steps that all BIA members can and should take in the fight against AB 199.
