Last week the Houstonian revealed that indoor air quality inspections are not being full performed in SHSU buildings, including dorms. This is a preventative action that cannot be ignored or pushed aside as it has been the past few years.

UNION GAP, Wash. -- KIMA was there as the Union Gap City Council held an emergency meeting about the mold problem that's displaced city hall. Employees have been scattered, and court will move to the District 11 Fire Hall. Our crew learned it'll cost thousands just to find the next step and see how bad it really is.

Union Gap City Council unanimously decided Monday night to pull $25,000 from their equipment reserve fund for court modifications to the District 11 Fire Department. The additional cost doesn't stop there.

The council also voted to pull $8,000 from their building reserve stash to investigate another potential disaster at both the police and fire station. "They have the same kind of roofs that we had," said Mayor Jim Lemon.

They apparently have the same issues we have. There have also been complaints. We've had (employees complain) for a few years about symptoms related to mold."
