With the presidential election looming, Craig Brightup of the Brightup Group took to the stage to give contractors an inside look at Washington in his session titled “Election Year Policies, Politics and the Roofing Industry.”
Brightup noted that while the Nov. 6 election would determine the makeup of the 2013 Congress, the upcoming lame duck session of the current Congress was crucial. “There’s a whole lot of business that this Congress is dealing with, including the fiscal cliff,” he said. “There are more than 60 tax credits set to expire, including tax credits for efficient buildings.”
