  • Call to Action to Restore Housing Bonds in House Tax Reform Bill
    Call to Action to Restore Housing Bonds in House Tax Reform Bill Dear partners in affordable housing, The just-released House Republican tax reform bill, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, H.R. 1, proposes to eliminate tax-exempt private activity bonds (PABs), including both multifamily and single-family Housing Bonds issued after 2017. The bill contradicts all previous reports, from sources both in Congress and within the Administration that suggested the bill would maintain tax-exempt PABs. Utah Housing Corporation and all other state HFAs have utilized tax-exempt PABs to fund mortgage loan programs for lower income first time home buyers. Utah Housing has funded some 70,000 single family mortgages and 10,000 multifamily rental housing mortgages for low income tenants using PABs as the source of capital to purchase or make these loans. During the past few years while interest rates have been at all-time lows, these types of bonds have not provided the large spread in mortgage rate funded with PABs they once offered when interest rates were high. However when interest rates ultimately do rise to “normal” levels, we will all look back and be grateful Congress took the long view and not just the short term outlook to make the tax bill “revenue neutral.” As partners working to strengthen affordable housing in Utah we encourage you to immediately contact the Utah Congressional delegation and ask them to communicate to Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady (R-TX) and Ranking Member Richard Neal (D-MA) the need to restore tax-exempt private activity Housing Bonds in the tax reform bill, H.R.

  • Votes by Reps. Jim Matheson, Chris Cannon and Rob Bishop for CAFTA Grease the Way for Gambling in Utah
    Buyers Up • Congress Watch • Critical Mass • Global Trade Watch • Health Research Group • Litigation Group Joan Claybrook, President Sept. 16, 2005 Contact: Eliza Brinkmeyer (202) 454-5108 Chris Slevin (202) 454-5140 Votes by Reps. Jim Matheson, Chris Cannon and Rob Bishop For CAFTA Grease the Way for Gambling in Utah Public Citizen Launches CAFTA Damage Report to Track Results of Misguided CAFTA Votes WASHINGTON, D.C. – By voting in favor of the Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA), Utah’s three House members opened a new door to attack Utah’s ban on legalized gambling, said Public Citizen. If any one of the Utah congressmen had opposed CAFTA, which eked past the U.S. House of Representatives on July 27 by a 217-215 vote, the controversial expansion of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) would have failed on a 216-216 tie vote. Since NAFTA took effect in 1994, the United States has lost 3 million manufacturing jobs, U.S. farm prices have slumped, farm failures have increased and the U.S. trade deficit has exploded to more than $617 billion – an unsustainable level that threatens our children’s futures. More than a million Mexicans lost their farms to NAFTA, escalating hunger there and increasing illegal immigration to the United States. Yet for Utah, CAFTA poses a special threat. Although CAFTA expands NAFTA to the Dominican Republic and five Central American nations, it is not only about trade. CAFTA contains 1,000 pages of international law that the United States is now obligated to follow thanks to the Utah congressmen and others who provided the votes that passed CAFTA.
