This can be very expensive depending on the state, and (I am not making any political statement or judgments here)- and the president is changing some of the epa regulations through executive order that mandate some changes on ALL public water supply and treatment systems regardless of the size of the community they service.

Our nation's economics might change once we get a new president. I

Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act may, at the election of the taxpayer, be taken into account for the taxable year immediately preceding the taxable year in which the disaster occurred. (2) Year of loss If an election is made under this subsection, the casualty resulting in the loss shall be treated for purposes of this title as having occurred in the taxable year for which the deduction is claimed. (3) Amount of loss The amount of the loss taken into account in the preceding taxable year by reason of paragraph (1) shall not exceed the uncompensated amount determined on the basis of the facts existing at the date the taxpayer claims the loss. (4) Use of disaster loan appraisals to establish amount of loss Nothing in this title shall be construed to prohibit the Secretary from prescribing regulations or other guidance under which an appraisal for the purpose of obtaining a loan of Federal funds or a loan guarantee from the Federal Government as a result of a Presidentially declared disaster (as defined by section 1033 (h)(3)) may be used to establish the amount of any loss described in paragraph (1) or (2).

I guess one could re-register prior to the next presidential election.

Taxes will likely be a major debate point in the next presidential election.

It should be interesting to see how the markets and economy react to who is the Dem presidential candidate and if he/she is winning/losing to Trump.  

I think your answer is it depends - as you know immediately around WSU it can get sketchy in a hurry depending on what block you are on and how far off of Hillside, 21st, or 17th St you are.I think the University enrollment has been edging up and they've gotten some great publicity/national attention from the basketball team and Charles Koch's recent book release.One other thing you might check out is the Innovation Campus (I believe that is what the WSU President is terming it) development of the former golf course.  

I think rates will drop in the future because the world has a serious debt problem, and servicing debt at 7, 8 0r 9% will bankrupt the world.I would not be surprised to see easing occur right before the next presidential election to spur the economy.Thanks for your postGino
