Making the Washington Rounds

Westport’s Cheryl Scott-Daniels (r) is just back from Washington, D.C. where, as president of the Mid-Fairfield County Association of Realtors (MFCAR), she met with U.S. senators, including Sen. Chris Murphy (c) of Connecticut. With her is Carol Heins, executive officer of MFCAR. Connecticut’s other senator, Richard Blumenthal, was on their meeting list as they pressed issues of interest. They included preserving the mission and purpose of the FHA program, reforming the secondary mortgage market to provide certainty in the U.S. housing market, and other tax policies including the mortgage interest deduction, property tax deduction, mortgage debt forgiveness tax relief, and the like-kind exchange.
