RECORDING: U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy Online Forum
Amy P. Fennell • March 26, 2020
Earlier today, Louisiana REALTORS® hosted an online forum with U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy. Senator Cassidy and his team provided the latest information and detailed some items regarding the steps Congress has taken to provide support to REALTORS® and small business owners. In the coming days, Senator Cassidy’s team will be putting together a FAQ document that answers a lot of the questions or provides additional information and details some of what was discussed. Specific questions posed during the forum and emailed to LR were compiled and sent to Cassidy’s office as well. A recording of this session is available for playback and any other questions can be sent to: info@larealtors.org .
