News: A Letter from Ronny J. Coleman, Pres. IRCFSC
Posted on Saturday, October 31 @ 03:04:01 PDT
Topic: Legislative Issues
Legislative IssuesWE WON AGAIN!!!

Words cannot describe how great if feels to have won the sprinkler vote again in Baltimore.  Even better, to our surprise, we won the committee vote by a margin of 7 to 4.  EVERY member of the IRC Committee not representing NAHB voted in favor of sprinklers!

ICC's message to residential sprinkler opponents is now very clear, "don't come back...we're done arguing residential sprinklers!"  

We won in Minneapolis, we won the committee vote in Baltimore and we defeated (by an overwhelming majority) a floor motion by NAHB to overturn the committee vote in Baltimore.  Let's maintain this level of commitment at the state and local level so that we can get the IRC adopted "where the rubber meets the road."

Thanks to EVERYONE who took part in and supported this historic event!!!

Ronny J. Coleman
President
