About

Hello. After serving in the USAF as a navigator I founded Capitol Communications Group in 1974 in order to lobby State legislators on a variety of issues. Without any marketing I was pleased to be retained by more than thirty trade associations and nonprofit organizations in as many fields for 50 years. Now retired, I still monitor all the bills and amendments as well as hearings on a daily basis. Due to my deep understanding of HOA issues I am pleased to share my summaries of these measures and will also add in a personal comment for the benefit of subscribed readers.
