Congratulations to all involved on a great Legislator Breakfast last month.  It is a key event in our state lobbying efforts, and we appreciate the tremendous member involvement in the event.  You can read all about it in this month’s issue of Apartment Age Magazine on Page 6 in the excellent article, 2011 Legislator Breakfast, co-authored by Jim Clarke and Tim Coyle.
