AQB's latest dumbing down by 'Stakeholders' Dropping the College Degree Requirement

[George Hatch]

By any chance did you happen to read note #2 at the bottom? TAF isn't the govt but they have been designated by Congress as the source and they are routinely consulted on such matters, not to mention routinely being summoned to appear at govt hearings.

In what way would it be professional conduct by the state legislators to NOT solicit such input from TAF regardless of how they ultimately decide? To proceed on a less informed basis rather than a more informed basis. Is that really how you expect govt to operate?


You apparently think it is immoral and unethical for TAF to promulgate appraisal standards and appraiser qualifications. Whatever your reasoning for that, it would apply by extension to any other party that might advocate for appraisal standards and qualifications. Leaving those standards and qualifications undefended in such legislative proceedings.

I can only assume that is your intention. Because the alternative is it is unintentional on your part.

Kelly David's passion for advancing the field of appraisal is contagious, and I am convinced she was destined to lead The Appraisal Foundation. As we embark into this exciting new era under Kelly's remarkable leadership supported by the incredibly talented staff, there will be unprecedented achievements and nothing short of marvels under her guidance.

Yeah, advance this Clearly Cra*ital "solicitation" to Ms. Davids to see how she and her "talented staff" marvel at this...

Do you remember who was the chief appraiser for Clear Capital about a year or two ago?

Off topic. But I had to laugh at the above. Heard that exact argument used on a episode of OPLive

Republican lawmakers and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce praised the Supreme Court decision Friday overturning the so-called Chevron doctrine, which for four decades led judges to defer to how federal agencies interpreted a law when its language wasn’t clear.

GOP lawmakers said the 6-3 decision by the Supreme Court undid a precedent that they argued had unjustly strengthened the power of unelected government officials.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said, “The Constitution vests Congress with the sole authority to make law.”

“After 40 years of Chevron deference, the Supreme Court made it clear today that our system of government leaves no room for an unelected bureaucracy to co-opt this authority for itself,” McConnell said. “The days of federal agencies filling in the legislative blanks are rightly over.”

And Chamber of Commerce CEO Suzanne Clark, in a statement, said, “Today’s decision is an important course correction that will help create a more predictable and stable regulatory environment.”

Clark added the high court’s prior Chevron rule “allowed each new presidential administration to advance their political agendas through flip-flopping regulations and not provide consistent rules of the road for businesses to navigate, plan, and invest in the future.”
