This is supposed to fix the mess from HB2260.

I was the only inspector at this meeting. I think you know how I must feel.

Better to be on your own than to be there with the guys looking for their own side deals. Not too many inspectors willing to really fight to oppose bad laws, Gary.

How did it go?

I really believe that some lawmakers are tired of "correcting" these laws in Kansas. I can use other terms for that word. They are getting the same sales pitch over and over again from lobbyists and even from the chairman who is an RE himself. Since Kansas is behind in paying their bills, their time needs to be used elsewhere. The law will sunset in 2013 anyway. That means the lawmakers will have to vote then whether or not to renew the laws. I belive the truth is finally getting out.

James, stop BS about the laws in Missouri. They have financial problems also that need to be discussed, and the laws in Missouri most likely will be put on the back burner. There are other priorities. Sometimes no noise is the loudest.
