State Senator To Feds: "Look For Real Problems"

The RE market has overheated and more regulation is in the pipe. In Oklahoma the legislature is considering a bill which would change the services brokers offer clients. I don't know the basics of the measure but find it interesting how touchy lawmakers are getting.

"The proposed bill, Senate Bill 673, would establish a minimum level of services that real estate brokers are required to perform."

"The Justice Department's Antitrust Division sent a letter to leaders of the state Legislature on Friday urging rejection of the proposed legislation."

"State Sen. Paul Gumm who is a Realtor, (said) 'I would encourage this Justice Department, which allowed the scandals at Enron and WorldCom to occur, to look for real problems to solve instead of trying to create them in Oklahoma.'"
