SALINA, Kan. –

Featuring discussions about the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and its proposed changes on indirect auto lending at franchised dealerships, North McArthur, president of Long McArthur Ford Lincoln, recently hosted Rep. Tim Huelskamp at his store.

During his visit with the Kansas Republican, McArthur highlighted the dealership’s economic impact on the town of Salina, such as employment and local and state taxes paid.

They also discussed the impact of possible tax changes to the last in, first out (LIFO) accounting method used by many dealers around the country.

Huelskamp represents the first Congressional district, which includes central and western parts of Kansas. He is in his second term and serves on the House Small Business Committee among others.

The National Autmobile Dealers Association reminded dealer principals and managers of steps they can take if they’re interested in hosting a local member of Congress. Dealers can contact Patrick Calpin, NADA director of grassroots advocacy, at [email protected] or (800) 563-1556.
