Guest guest Posted September 1, 2002 Report Share Posted September 1, 2002 September 1, 2002 Letter to the Editor Denialability! Recently, our Family has been in the media due to our fight against Toxic Mold and the Town of Barnstable. These Toxic Molds are in our home and are dangerous. One of them, Stachybotrys, is considered to be a Biological Warfare agent by the US Military and they consider it a cousin of Anthrax. During the media reporting, NOBODY from the Town of Barnstable has bothered to call or contact us. In fact, they have rarely, and very grudgingly, responded to our communications. On numerous points, the Secretary of State has ordered them to respond as the Law requires. The comments recently mentioned by Barnstable Town Attorney are very shallow and meaningless after all these years. In 1993, Barnstable, including Mr. , knew that our home was allowed to be built in violation of all local, state and federal building, fire and safety codes. During all these years they have all decided to do NOTHING. Articles have mentioned our winning a Court case against the builders. We won in 1996 and have never seen a penny of the Jury award. Sadly, Barnstable decided to help the builders. The acknowledged unsigned building permit was signed to show the home was inspected. If the Jury had been allowed to know of the Towns involvement, how much higher would their award have been? Under the Law, the award would have been tripled. Sadly for our Family, Barnstable has refused, since 1993, to allow their building or health inspectors into our home. State Law requires them to inspect any building that is suspect. The saddest part is that anybody could have bought our home. We were just the "unfortunate" people. As far as homeowners insurance, there is no coverage for losses or our health. Our normal health insurance doesn't want to pay our Medical bills. Seems they do not provide coverage when damages or illnesses are the direct cause of illegal Government actions. Homeowners policies also don't cover illegal construction allowed or performed by the Government In cases across the Nation that deals with homes infested with Toxic Mold, whole neighborhoods are being affected. It seems that the other homes around these Toxic Mold homes are losing their resale value. Seems that nobody wants to live in a Toxic Mold neighborhood. Not only does testing find dangerous levels of this Toxic Mold in homes but they also escape outside. This is also true in our case. Insurance companies and communities are being sued by these other homeowners. In more and more States, State Supreme Courts are denying the local and state governments any protection under Sovereign Immunity protection from lawsuits for damages. The Courts have ruled that where the local or state government were involved or caused the Toxic Mold, they must pay all parties effected or that suffer loses. Our Government, local, state or federal, has one responsibility. It is to protect the citizens. Sadly, Barnstable has protected themselves by endangering my Family. Must my family die from Toxic Mold to protect Barnstable corruption? It is your Town and you must decide and answer! We have already lost our heath, home, possessions and money. How much more must we give to Barnstable? Ken Moulton 38 Hawser Bend Centerville, Ma. 02632 508-771-6365 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
