This site is about the overreaching political power of the NC Association of Realtors flush with money from cashing in your equity 6% at a time, leaving you to pay for growth with property taxes, year after year, with or without cash flow. In the last few years NCAR has pumped millions of dollars into NC political campaigns at the state and local level. They have spent millions more to defeat Local Options for Local Governments with misleading ads.

Tarleton Targeted

The NC Realtors' favorite push polling company, Fallon Research & Communication, has been targeting State Representative Cullie Tarleton in his bid for re-election. Tarleton has had the temerity to oppose the realtors political positions and, according to sources at the state legislature, had been threatened with retaliation. Seem like they're making good on the threats. Opponent Dan Soucek is unlikely to have paid for the polling given his limited campaign funds. WataugaWatch.net has been following the antics:

Update: Campaign finance reports filed 10/23/08 for the NC Realtors PAC show a payment of $39,300 to Fallon Research on 9/23/2008.
