NAHB Spends Less on Lobbying in Quarter

Washington, DC, Sept. 27, 2011 -- The National Association of Home Builders reported that it spent $560,000 in the second quarter lobbying the federal government on housing and other issues.

That's a decrease of about 7% from the $600,000 that the trade association spent on lobbying in the same quarter a year ago.

A key issue this year has been to lobby against proposals to end or limit tax breaks for mortgage interest.
