Default Re: Are These Fraudulent Registration Numbers Handed out by Kansas HI Board Presiden

Read last sentence of this May, 2008 letter from InterNACHI's attorney to the Governor of Kansas: http://www.nachi.org/documents/mollygetssued.pdf

They can't say we didn't warn them.

There are no registration forms anywhere; Mike Greenwalt has yet to write them. Most rules/regs are not set yet. There are no forms to download on the www.ksinspectors.org web site. The AG has yet to approve the SOP's. There are no bank accounts or any accountants as yet set up to handle the incoming funds or the board finances.

Where did your $200 go?

I am sad that I was not one of the lucky ones to get a low number. It would make a world of difference if I got a low one. That way, I could use my influence to get a low number, and advertise it at will. It would impress prospective home buyers and real estate agents. To heck of the job I do. The low number is the most important thing in the world to me.

Jeff Barnes is a criminal. He licensed himself and no one else.

Any way you look at this, whether you are a friend or a foe of Jeff Barnes, he used his position as Chairman to advantage himself over other home inspectors by awarding himself the very first registration number and then...two months before registration takes effect in his state, advertises it on his website with all of his other "credentials" as a reason to hire him over his competitors.

The most frightening thing about this is that Mr. Barnes rules over the body that determines whether or not OTHERS are worthy to obtain and keep a registration that will allow them to be home inspectors in Kansas.

This is reason enough to call for his resignation or dismissal, whichever the Governor feels to be most expedient.

Jeff Barnes has been the champion of this very poorly written and poorly coordinated legislation for reasons that are becoming more and more clear. It's time to get rid of those members of the HI Registration Board who are misusing their positions for self enrichment and repeal this confusing/conflicting law.

Mr. Barnes is beta testing the registration numbers. Nothing more. LOL
