New Election Law Opens Loopholes for Contributions
The new election law, taking effect today, tightens spending rules for television and other ads but retains loopholes allowing anonymous donor money.

It sets per race limits and requires filings to various federal offices, though enforcement and self-monitoring raise concerns.

New Housing Market Seen Favorable for Buyers Sellers and Lenders
AP analyst notes surveys show 49 percent of consumers think now is a good time to buy and builders expect record starts. Lenders remain optimistic despite rising rates, offering 95 percent mortgages and other incentives to keep loans moving. Women gain loan access, the elderly may skip cosigners, and February housing starts hit a record 2.68 million as mild winter aids activity. The outlook remains confident but cautious amid history of rate volatility and regulatory tweaks.
