Molly is probably a good dog.

In many instances, it should be the owner that is "put down" not the dog.

Hope Molly can find a good home!!!!

It appears Mr. Barnes will soon discover the cold truth that it's a puppy-kickin' world and he should have left sleeping dogs lie.

Your wish came to fruition when the Governor of Kansas signed the bill.

Two of the five board seats are "at large" and are not home inspectors. That leaves the real estate brokers who spent the money to buy the law. Two of them only need one home inspector intimidated by his need for a relationship with RE salesmen (which represents about 80% of the home inspectors in Kansas or any other state) and they rule the board.

Barnes may have "screwed the pooch" but there will be another to rise up even more corruptible than he.

Agreed, if Barnes is not made an example of, it will get worse.
