The most prevalent is the recently release GAO report “Minority Entities Are Less Successful in Obtaining Awards Than Non-Minority Entities” that attempts to identify reasons for the lack of success. I have some opinions but will do more on that later.

Then it’s lunch with Rapoza Associates Friday, getting ready for the New Markets Tax Credit Coalition Board meeting on Monday, and preparing for the NMTC Coalition Policy Conference on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Coalition is working on a five-year extension of NMTC, a House version of which has been introduced by Rep. Neil and Rep. Tiberi (HR 2628).

Sprinkled into the mix are a number of Hill visits in the House and Senate talking about the Child Care Facilities Finance Act (HR 1685) introduced by Rep. McCarthy and the Senate companion (S 1002) dropped by Senator Casey. It all comes to a conclusion with my testimony (thanks to an invite by Rep. Tiberi) to the Subcommittee on Select Revenue Measures of the Committee on Ways and Means and the Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology of the Financial Services Committee. I’ll be talking about the GAO report. Busy trip!
