Wealthy homebuilders in Texas have been getting legislation passed to protect themselves from shoddy construction for years. Now that legislation is spreading across the country and devastating families in every state.
The money these builders spend on political activity from campaign donations to lobbying would be far better spent on roofing felt, window flashing, rebar in foundations, proper grading, and soil testing. In fact I am certain that proper construction would cost them LESS than their political activity is costing them. IF they built houses properly they wouldn't need protection from law suits.
WHY do they do this? Because they can, I guess. To show the power that they have. One day the bad builders will have to face their maker, and so will the good builders who went along with this atrocity.
