I'm even disgusted with my Governor right now, Mr.

I also think we should abolish the party system and just have a lot of candidates run in a primary, say up to half a dozen, maybe the US could be divided into 6 or 8 sections and each could elect someone who is already a senator, rep, governor or mayor, to run in the primary.

We finally got a good governor in Wisconsin (one of the last two states that do not allow conceal carry in the country).

I know that the Governor of MI. is working hard to change investment and update the area to high tech manufacturing and support industries, The golden lining will be identifying properties that are not being used to their highest and best use, a bargin wharehouse that can be converted to solar panel manufacturing or building wind generators....whatever.

The bill was vetoed by then-Governor Sonny Purdue on May 14, 2008:Here is the link to the bill, with a very clear veto status:http://www1.legis.ga.gov/legis/2007_08/sum/hb1217.htmThere have been no similar bills presented since this one was vetoed.So, as I pointed out earlier, there is absolutely nothing to stop me (or anyone in my state) from charging money to provide a condition report on a piece of real estate.If you have any reliable documentation to the contrary (notice how I actually presented verifiable information above), I'll be here...

So, sorry to say, you should have had flood insurance.Now, relief, if the Governor of your state declared a disaster in your area, you will likely be eligible to apply for relief for damages through your emergency management office.
