Jim,
Excellent point.
But rather than pressuring them...why don't we refuse payment of lack of
service. If we are paying of service...a band aid should not be accepted.
Whomever is managing the servicing and annual / bi-annual maintenance should
have a service record. If the same problem is occuring, and it could be
fixed, then they need to be held accountable if they are not diagnosing the
problem. If a long term solution is an overhaul, then we should see what we
can do to schedule that for the 2009 budget.
Jay
