What Black Mold looks like at the Pavilion

The smell in this unit is unbearable and probably unhealthy!


Baseboard of guest bedroom

Wall in Guest Bedroom
Black mold, sometimes called "toxic black mold," most commonly appears in basements, crawlspaces and other areas of homes exposed to high levels of moisture. The spores of black mold can cause a wide range of allergic reactions and other health problems, including chronic fatigue, chronic headaches, fever and respiratory problems. Though black mold is the most infamous of the fungi that commonly grow in homes and businesses, all molds are potentially hazardous to human health and should be treated with caution.

From Cyber Citizens for Justice: Senator Steube Conflict of Interest and Becker & Poliokoff


The condo bills are making progress -- much to the dismay of some of the so-called specialized law firms. In my opinion their arguments against the bill border stupidity -- they make no -- or very little -- sense. I understand that they feel that the bill provisions may reduce their income, but that's life! They make enough money on the back of the families that live in community associations.

What I understand even less is the fact that Florida Senator Greg Steube, who works for the law firm of Becker & Poliakoff, can vote on a bill that directly impacts his income. As expected: HE VOTED "NAY!" We hear so much about board members having a CONFLICT OF INTEREST -- what about senators? Obviously, when they are attorneys, conflict of interest doesn't apply! No wonder that many US citizens are disgusted with our "professional" legislators. ETHICS seems to be a word not in their vocabulary! Please read my blog about this issue!
