The Appraisal Subcommittee Busted

[sputnam]

Does anyone know if the ASC and TAF are covered under the executive order signed yesterday?

No doubt, that is a question that will be answered in a courtroom.

No there to small to even exist and outside of a few Af members I highly doubt anyone in DC has ever heard of them but you can't lay off or cut expenses on a 10 person operation and the committee members are not Federal employees...or are you talking about something else..?

Employees, and when they get around to it, eliminating agencies. I know both are small and inconsequential but after the big boys fall the reaper will come knocking on the doors of many the 400+ other federal agencies.

The Appraisal Foundation is not a federal agency. There is no effect on the Foundation as a result of the executive order cited. The ASC may be covered, but I'm not sure.

Thanks for the response. Yeah, it's "authorized by congress" but not a federal agency, pretty much the definition of the 4th branch of gubmint this administration wants to eliminate. While TAF is funded (mostly) off of the backs of real property appraisers I'm sure federal funding (if any) will be cut off soon enough to TAF and sooner to the ASC.

They’re part of the broad and vast 4th branch of government - the administrative state. Which needs to be 100% eliminated.

If you examine things closely, you will find the ASC does not operate on funds appropriated by Congress. Examine the ASC Website and take a look at the latest ASC Annual Report to Congress.
