The world watched in horror on on June 24, 2021 as the Surfside condominium tower collapsed as an estimated 1000 men, women and children lost their lives. The world is still trying to come to terms with exactly what happened and what led to the tragedy.  There have been many theories as the what caused the collapse.  There  is evidence that the condo neglected to perform the necessary repairs and to keep the building in good repair.  It is also alleged that the condo was underfunded.  In an effort to prevent a repeat of such a tragedy, legislators, advocates and others with an interest in ensuring that this does not happen again, Several pieces of legislation was written and presented for consideration.  Sadly, despite all the work and the obvious need for some remedies NOTHING was done by the legislators in this session.  Floridians got back with no additional protections thanks.

Jan Bergemann, founder of the very active Florida based Cyber Citizens for Justice joins us On The Commons and explains exactly what happened.  I hope the world is still listening because our legislators really do need to step up and make sure their citizens are protected.  Please tune in.  We will be following this story.

Covid has changed the way we live and the way we think. Mandatory membership homeowner associations are increasing, it seems that everyone lives in one, so We should attend the meetings to keep up with what the association is doing. Associations usually have regular meetings, but Zoom and similar programs have come to the rescue. 

Frank Short joins us this week On The Commons for his St Patrick’s Day show. It was slim pickings in the Virginia Legislature this year but Senate Bill 696 sponsored by Senator Chap Peterson did give us one bill to talk about. One thing worth noting is that even the bills need tweaking. So tune in to this St Patrick’s day show.
