As if the opposition needed more money, the Realtors have formed a political action committee dedicated to defeating The Education Initiative, a k a the margin tax.
Realtors Against Question 3, which they cleverly call RAQ3 for short (ain't that catchy?), was formed last week.
So the Realtors join the gamers, miners, retailers and chamberites in raising money to fight this deadly scourge.
Anyone else in?

Washoe County Superintendent Pedro Martinez says he will return to work Friday but will continue to proceed with his lawsuit against school trustees.
"I am going to return to work...but this is not going to end the legal issues," Martinez told me in an interview shortly after the trustees, in an astonishing turn of events, acknowledged they had violated the Open Meeting Law, thus voiding their actions last week.
