Caught in Conflict

My CP does not really get caught up in any conflict. laws come down from the state and there is little he or anyone for that matter can do about it. Mr. Alberts frequently attendes California board of real estate meetings but being a small business owner he has little impact on legislation or policy regarding real estate law and legislation in the state. While he states that he wishes he did have more pull he "cant  afford to pay a lobbyist like the big buys". As a small time business owner he pays his dues to the board but actually receives little benefit from new policy. Most of the new ;legislation coming down is in regard to loans and contract organization and filling so not much he can do about those things really, just follow them and keep in line really.

Political Interests

I have finally made contact with my CP for the semester. I will be doing intern work for Alberts reality, which I made contact with through the Los Altos Rotary club. My contacts name is Dick Alberts  who runs the business and has done so for the last 40 years in the South Bay area. My CP dose not make direct contributions to politics himself but, many of the laws and regulations that are passed within the state effect him and his business on a very real level. I will work closely with him and the California Real Estate Board learning how his business interacts with the government at the state level. In the past Mr Alberts was active with the San Jose police dept. and was friends with many in the local government circles such as city mayor and many other civil servants.
