Greetings,

Congress has passed, and President Obama just signed moments ago, a bill that both extends and expands the Homebuyer Tax Credit.  All three of our local Congressmen (Altmire, Doyle, and Murphy), as well as both PA Senators Casey and Specter, voted in favor of this!

 

With such a sunny weekend, and no Steeler game to compete with, RAMP wants its’ members to have the latest information available as they meet with clients:

 

·         Please review and print out this chart that compares the current tax credit, as well as the new extension and expansion of it. 

 

·         As you familiarize yourself with the new provisions, please also visit and print out these very helpful Q & A’s on the matter.

 

 

Thank YOU to all RAMP members who took part in the “Call for Action” that helped to make this moment happen!  RAMP’s advocacy continues to work for you on the local, state, and national levels, We are proud to be part of the effort that moved this crucial piece of legislation in a time when so many other issues have been demanding our Legislators time and attention. 

 

Please spread the good news in your office, and your community!
