Proposed TRCC raise insults
...the TRCC seems to have empowered bad builders to continue victimizing customers. If the TRCC is to continue, it should be revamped from a builder-protection agency to a consumer-protection one. Those on the commission should be making sure homes are fixed correctly when needed. If houses are so badly built, builders should have no choice but to buy them back.
Proposed TRCC raise insults
In regards to the column âIs it really time to grant a pay raise?â on Monday, I would answer Clay Robisonâs question about whether anyone is listening at the Texas Residential Construction Commission by saying, yes, it is listening but it is called selective hearing.
To proceed with the raise to the TRCCâs executive director is to say the TRCC is a useful agency and has produced positive results for those who have used its services. By all accounts, we know this has not happened, and, in fact, the TRCC seems to have empowered bad builders to continue victimizing customers.
If the TRCC is to continue, it should be revamped from a builder-protection agency to a consumer-protection one. Those on the commission should be making sure homes are fixed correctly when needed. If houses are so badly built, builders should have no choice but to buy them back.
To even mention a pay raise is an outrage and insult to all homeowners who have gone through the process and received no help.
