Realtors drop Bucks on Bash

The NC Realtors Association dropped a bucket of bucks on a bash for legislators in June according to lobbying reports. $19,820 plus $556 previously spent on invitations works out to $170 a head in legislative lobbying largess. It's more than the $15,809 NC Homebuilders spent on a similar event and, if attendance estimates are actual, less than the $200 per head spent by Homebuilders. Since the start of the year NCAR lobbying reports have declared $51,422 spent on 8 registered lobbyists though only 7 registered lobbyists at any one time.
