    The ACAR Legislative Lobby 
    Lobby Know your Last week was spring break and the legislators were in a hurry to have a break of their own to get back to their home and work on campaigns (the primary election is Tuesday, May 25th). The House's adjournment sine die came at 9:18 p.m. last Monday night.  Although a relatively short session it was filled with a number of difficult issues and decisions, primarily focusing on the budget. 
     
    As one of the most respected lobbying groups in Idaho, we have two issues that are integral to all decisions made regarding our legislative positions and advocacy.
     
    They are protecting private property rights by opposing legislation that would allow intrusion, and opposing sales tax on services because REALTORSŪ already pay income tax on their commissions.
