Trusting a homebuilder to fix the TRCC is like...

The Texas House is spending alot of time conducting hearings on whether the Texas Residential Construction Commission should be abolished or fixed. It is beyond common sense that anyone would think this Commission has a chance of being fixed in order to help the consumers especially after the Sunset Commissions report calling for its abolishment.

Unfortunately, it seems our elected officials, in trying to fix this, are listening to the very people who created the disaster in the first place. This will only result in yet another disaster for the consumer. The sunset bill, HB2295, which is suppose to fix the Commission on behalf of the consumers and filed by Representative McClendon, has absolutely no support from consumer organizations. None. But plenty support from the homebuilder industry.

One thing for sure, trusting a Texas home builder to fix the TRCC is like:

• Trusting Osama Bin Ladin to fix Homeland Security.
• Trusting an alchoholic to guard your liquor cabinet.
• Trusting a cat to guard your birds.
• Trusting Joe the plumber to fix your plumbing.
• Trusting Sarah Palin to teach sex education
  
• Trusting Tom DeLay with the Texas Ethics Commission.
• Trusting a sex offender to baby sit your kids.

Trusting the home building industry to fix the TRCC is about as dumb as trusting them in the first place in 2003 when this disaster of a Commission was created. They lied to us then. They are lying to us now. They do not speak for the consumer. They don't care about the consumer. They are there to screw the consumer.

Quit trusting them.
