Where lawmakers come to blog

Richard Gaylord, president of the National Association of Realtors, has his say on HUD's RESPA reform proposal on The Hill's Congress Blog -- "Where lawmakers come to blog."

The irony of the blog's tagline will not be lost on those who believe that if industry groups like NAR don't actually write the laws and regulations that govern them, they have --ahem -- considerable say in the process.

If you really want to know how the sausage is made, the Congressional hearing Gaylord refers to is covered in detail in an Inman News story this week.
