The Hummel Report - 6.2.11 Inspect This
Thousands of businesses every year have their hot water heaters inspected by the state of Rhode Island - and with it comes a fee. But are the inspections necessary? This week Jim Hummel finds that an increase in the number inspectors has resulted in more businesses subject to inspections - some for the first time in decades. But he also discovers the state is revamping the program, with emphasis on a little customer service, and a lower fee.
The Hummel Report is a non-profit 501(c) organization dedicated to exposing waste and corruption for the people of Rhode Island. Its investigative reports will combine with news and public information to offer multimedia news reports.
