Lobby Day is so important for our industry. “The fact that the Home Builder Association represents the building industries interest on the state and federal government level is one of the biggest reasons companies join the HBA. There is a lot of detrimental legislation directed at the building industry that would have passed had it not been for the action of the Home Builders Association. Builders & Remodelers incur and have endured much frustration because of all the regulation created in the past few decades. Most builders and associates don't realize all the additional grief they have been saved and will never know about because of the efforts of the HBA stopping detrimental regulation. “ -Steve Wilke, HBA member for 46 years Details from Lobby Day inside BIG turnout at the HBA Industry Social! Industry friends came out to introduce their business and sharing their experiences in the HBA. Members expressed experiences and involvement with information about our legislative events, discount programs, Home Show, Committees, activities and pretty much why they joined and still stay in the HBA. There were several new members and non-members that joined in the event to learn more about the importance of how our organization operates and how to take advantage of many programs in place. This event also kicked off the announcement that if members of the HBA bring in 3 new members this year their 2019 membership dues is FREE! More pictures from this event on page ?

After the long and successful day, everyone headed to the HBAI Lobby Day Reception. State Senator Paul Schimpf stopped by and listened to our concerns about bill HB382 that prohibits home rule municipalities from collecting a real estate transfer tax on homes for which an impact fee has been assessed and collected. While enjoying the reception, we conversed about bill HB504 that mandates a restrictive scheduling policy that arbitrarily imposes a “one-size-fits” all scheduling mandate on all industries that reduces flexibility for employees. Restrictive scheduling ignores the business location and makes it impossible for employees and employers to adapt to change. We expressed our opposition to this bill. To end the reception we had a group discussion with State Representative Natalie Finnie, our Effingham members and HBA member Kyle Finnie (Rosecreek Lumber), caught up with us for the group picture. BIG ABOUT BOND! We discussed bill HB4531, regarding reversal of Authority for Public Construction Bonds removing the option of Cash Bonds was defeated with 62 NO votes, 45 YES votes and 4 not voting.

Between January 2008 and February 2010, almost nine million jobs were lost, but by January 2013 the number of employed Americans had almost fully recovered. The typical good news story, right? Not so fast; the educational attainment of the persons employed in the “recovered” jobs were dramatically different than those in the “lost” jobs. This has profound social and economic implications. While total employment was virtually unchanged on January 2008 and January 2013, millions of workers without college degrees lost jobs and never regained them. For example, the number of employed Americans with less than a high school diploma fell by roughly 1.6 million; the number of high school graduates with jobs fell by about 2.8 million; and the number employed with some college, but no B.A. fell by 225,000. Over that same five years, the number of college-educated Americans with jobs increased by more than 4.3 million! In the next five years of the expansion, years 2013 through 2017, job growth improved; 10.7 million jobs were created. While every educational group saw gains, the distribution was again severely skewed towards those with more education. Those with less than a high school diploma picked up 744,000 jobs, those with a high school diploma added 720,000 jobs, and employees with some college saw employment gains of 1.6 million. However, college graduates scooped up 7.6 million jobs, or 71% of all new employment, despite being just 36.5% of the labor force in January 2013. In short, college graduates gained twice as many jobs as predicted by their share of total jobs in January 2013. And that percentage was already meaningfully higher than the 33.6% that it was on December 2007, the eve of the Great Recession. As a result, the share of jobs held by the other three educational groupings declined. It fell by a whopping 22% for those with less than a high school diploma, 11% for those with a high school diploma, and by just 4% for those with some college (and this includes those with two-year degrees). More education clearly mitigates these negative employment trends. What is so troubling is that Americans without college degrees, who currently comprise 60% of the labor force, lose employment opportunities regardless of where we are in the business cycle. Worse, many of the less educated men who lose their jobs drop out of the labor force, depriving the economy of millions of workers. At the same time, the national unemployment rate is at a generational low, and employers are desperate for skilled labor. We will soon reach a point where GDP slows simply because of a lack of available workers. Even though a college education is immensely helpful, pushing all high schoolers to go is a disservice. Worse, telling those that do not go to college that they are failures just compounds the problem. As a result, more students go to college than ever before, but only 57% of college freshmen complete their degree within six years; many never finish. College should be seen as one option among many. Another approach is to increase the number of apprenticeship programs. At present, just 0.3% of the total US workforce is in a registered apprentice program, while in Germany it’s almost 4%, 12 times higher! These jobs pay well, and their graduates are far more likely to be fully employed. The nature of work is changing, and new jobs increasingly demand better skilled workers. Earning nothing more than a high school diploma all but guarantees low wages and long spells of unemployment. While college is an excellent solution, stigmatizing those that do not go is harmful. To that end, giving high school graduates who are not interested in college a wider variety of ways to gain vocational skills and demonstrate employability is critical.

Under the old tax law, some CIACs — such as sewage infrastructure or cash payments made to utilities for extending water lines — were not included in the utility’s gross income. This valuable shelter was established for CIACs in legislation enacted in 1996. The tax reform law enacted last year removed this exception, making these contributions taxable to the utility—if the utility is a privately-owned, for-profit entity. In some states, affected utilities have begun to notify developers that the utility will pass this new tax liability to the builder. In Pennsylvania, for example, some developers have reported that their utility has begun requiring a 40% CIAC surcharge. A utility in South Carolina, meanwhile, is seeking a 31.8% CIAC surcharge. In other states, the utilities are turning to the relevant public utility commission for guidance on how to implement these tax changes. It is likely that the surcharges seen in Pennsylvania and South Carolina will arise in other states. NAHB urges developers who build in an area served by a private, for-profit water utility to closely monitor their state public utility commission. The intent of this tax change was not to impose a new fee on development, but rather to put for-profit utilities on parity with any other business. Unfortunately, some utilities are abusing their market power to pass this charge to the developer—despite the fact that the utility received a net tax cut from the new tax law. NAHB is actively working with affected states and engaged in conversations with Congress to remedy the situation. If left unchecked, this unintended consequence of the new tax law will only put more strain on the housing market and push more and more families further from the dream of homeownership. Drone Use Among Builders Continues its Ascent Filed in Business Management, Economics, Labor, Safety and Health, Land Development by NAHB Now on April 16, 2018 • A recent NAHB survey discovered that the popularity of drones within the housing industry is not only growing — it’s skyrocketing. Two years ago, a similar survey revealed 22% of single-family builders had used a drone for business purposes. That portion has since soared to 46% of builders. The growth comes as no surprise to people like Jim Schaefer, owner of RealReach Marketing and Productions in Tampa, Fla. His company started flying drones about four years ago as an additional marketing tactic to offer his builder/ developer clients. But that “premium” service, which was once a standalone product, has since become a standard feature of his company’s photography package. “When we started, we were just about the only business in Tampa that was [operating drones], mostly because they were so expensive at that time,” Schaefer said. “Now, the prices have come down considerably and there are tons of people out there who are either doing it as a business or amateurs doing it on their own.” But even if everyone is doing it, not everyone is doing it well. Schaefer says many people underestimate how difficult it is to fly a drone, especially when the ultimate goal is to gather professional-quality aerial video footage. Even though he’s been operating drones for the better part of a decade, Schaefer admits it can sometimes be a struggle to get the right shot. And yes, there’s the occasional crash, too. He knows several people who own a drone but who admit they’re too afraid to fly them. Those apprehensions are somewhat justified: Just last week, one of Schaefer’s more expensive drones got into a scuffle with a nearby tree and had to be taken in for some costly repairs. “There’s a lot of risk involved, and it goes well beyond just the potential damage to the drone,” Schaefer said. “It’s not uncommon for drones to fall onto cars or damage other property, which is why we have a large insurance policy.
