More From Mallory....

[James H. Bushart]

I started a new thread for this excerpt from Mallory's deposition, for I feel it is important to highlight from the less serious and more comical clips from her deposition.

In her sworn statement, the Executive Director of NAHI has stated for the record that she "and other association leaders" have been engaged in discussions as to how to put individual members of NACHI out of business.

This blows the cover of NAHI and "the other associations" as they push their agendas throughout the country. It's not about "the consumer" or "professionalism".

The ED of NAHI, under oath, has revealed the real agenda...

24 Q So that was a communication from Robert Kent to who?
25 A To our office.

1 Q Am I right in saying that that sort summarizes in a
2 phrase the general attitude among your organization
3 towards NACHI, you would like to see Nick Gromicko and
4 his, quote, certified inspectors be put out of business?
5 A It's my impression it's more of an industry-wide thing,
6 not just the association.
7 Q And is that viewpoint the general viewpoint of your
8 organization?
9 MR. ROACH: I thought that was what you just
10 asked.
11 THE WITNESS: Yeah. I said not just our
12 association, but it's pretty much industry-wide.

14 BY MR. COHEN:
15 Q Who else other than NAHI members want to see
16 Mr. Gromicko and his, quote, certified inspectors put
17 out of business?
18 A Well, jeepers, all of the different -- all the different
19 associations as far as I've ever been told.
20 Q Are you basing that on your discussions with members of
21 other associations or leaders of other associations?
22 A Leaders of other associations.

Just a note to anyone fighting ASHI and/or their make-believe "coalitions" in any state legislative effort --- Mallory has provided you with some very valuable information here.

In her sworn testimony, she has stated that she (as the head of NAHI) has engaged in conversations with the leadership of "other associations" regarding what she describes as an "industry wide" desire to put you...the home inspector who is a member of NACHI...out of business.

Use this transcript in communicating with legislators who desire proof of the malicious intent of the proposed bills. Provide it to media outlets.

This testimony was given under oath and cannot be denied or recanted. The proof you need that it is not "to protect the consumer" but to put certain competitors out of business has been provided to you.

Spread the word.

11 Q Is that a publicly held company or privately held?
12 A Privately. There are six of us.
13 Q And what is your percentage of the ownership in that?

21 A Yes, sir.
22 Q Do you manage -- do you personally manage any nonprofits
23 other than NAHI?

2 Company has the NAHI account been your sole account?
3 A Yes. I had a couple little accounts, but NAHI got too

Wheres Nick's deposition?
I want to see the juicy stuff, and also see if NAHI provided evidence that nachi /nick does take names of other web sites, make one change to that web address. One example, how he left a [n ]out of a popular privately owned HI BB to get inspectors trying to visit that site go to his site, then called that site nazi news, bragged about it, and claimed he was going to put that business, out of business on this open BB

You know Dan, I normally put up with your tirades and sometimes I even agree with you, but in this instance it is not about NACHI or Nick Gromicko and I oppose you attempting to shift the focus.

This is about NAHI and Mallory's admitted conspiring with "other association leaders" to put NACHI & NACHI members out of business, not because these members were violating some law, but just because they were NACHI members and she felt they were fair game.

If what she has sworn testimony to is true then this is not a matter for the civil courts but the criminal courts. Hopefully the "other association leaders" with whom she conspired with will voluntarily come forward and provide testimony before they too become the focus of a criminal investigation.

[Nick Gromicko]

Dan: I didn't purchase my own deposition transcript because I know what I said. If anyone has it, they may consider this post my written permission to post it for all to read. Dan, if you (or anyone) has a question of me I will certainly answer it here. You can ask anything you want regardless of how personal and I will try to answer it for you. Ask away.

Joe B: BINGO! You are consistently on the money with your posts and analysis.

Let's not forget what they did to Porter Valley Software over Keith's involvement with NACHI. I am sure with some further investigation you will find plenty of activities against others due to their association with NACHI.

This may turn out to be a huge scandal. Surely Mallory should not take the entire rap. I'm betting it will be tied to the NAHI board of directors. After all, she serves at their pleasure they are undoubtedly complicit in this activity.

[David A. Nice]

Hey Nick,

It looks like you might want to simply refer top them as the "Inspection Industry Thugs for Minneapolis".

I still don't know why the jurisdiction for that case was in Michigan?
