MARION, Ind. (AP) - New tests haven't found high mold levels inside

the Grant County Courthouse. But a judge who moved his offices from

the building says he's still concerned about its safety because of

health problems he and others have suffered.

The tests by the State Department of Health on samples from 12

locations inside the courthouse found that all had lower mold levels

than the outside air.

Superior Court Judge Randall says his courtroom and office

likely had low fungus counts because of air purification systems he

put in the rooms. He says mold has been a problem in the courthouse

for years and that it became worse since the roof was damaged two

years ago.

has been working from his home since moving from his

courthouse office last month. He says he and several other county

employees continue to have health problems.

Maybe it was stachybotrys, (which doesn't show up on tests) or fungal

fragments, say from a long-term mold infestation.

Did they just use spore tests?

Wonder how long we will have to read stories like this. Like we need

permission to be sick. Maybe they should change the way they test for

mold levels. Wonder how you write to these people.
