State Representative John Kuempel is more
interested in dogs
and cats than he is in his own constituents. Homeowners all over
Cibolo have
been suffering from new homes with foundation failures caused by
the shoddy
construction practices of major home builders and we sought help
from Rep.
Kuempel. We asked him to file a bill in the Texas
legislature to provide home buyers
with the opportunity to have their lemon homes bought back by
the builder when
they have repeatedly failed to remedy significant problems.
Currently you have a more consumer protection
when you buy a
toaster than when you buy a home even though it is likely the
largest single
investment you’ll ever make.
I’ll bet you didn’t know that while you have
to have a
license to cut hair, operate a nail salon or drive a car, home
builders aren’t
required to have a license. Soon if Kuempel gets his will dog
and cat dealers
will be licensed and regulated but not home builders.
Cibolo Mayor Jennifer Hartman, Councilman
Steve Liparoto,
Guadalupe County Judge Larry Jones and Commissioner Jim
Wolverton all supported
us and urged Kuempel to file the bill. In the last days before
the bill filing
deadline he wouldn’t even meet with his constituents; instead he
filed HB 1449,
a bill to license and regulate dog and cat dealers.
