Will the Democrats save Bob Perry's Commission?

Other Democrats are also supporting Bob Perry. Rep Allan Ritter (Democrat Nederland) filed the bill that Perry wrote that created the TRCC. Rep Al Edwards (Useless Houston) cosponsored the bill. In 2007 Representative Ruth McClendon (Democrat San Antonio) helped Rep Ritter with a bill that "fixed" the Commission, when in reality it did nothing for consumers.

Now, in 2009, the torch has been passed to Representative Ruth McClendon to serve and protect Bob Perry's Commission. And she is doing a great job with HB2295, the Sunset Bill. HB2295 was suppose to be the bill to fix the flawed foundation of the TRCC, instead it makes just minor cosmetic modifications. It is like offering a hat to someone buried up to their neck in sand. It looks good, but doesn't address the real problem.

1. So disappointing

Aren't there any people in San Antonio that could speak to Ruth about problems with their homes? Certainly the San Antonio area is not immune from the practices of the home building industry.

I can't believe this damn worthless commission is going to survive and worse that its the Ds that are going to save it. :grr:
