Re: Florida Statute According to RLB

["Bob Worthy" <securinc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Post the link where you read your interpetation and I'll show you where it
changed. Since you posted the wrong statute to begin with, I have know idea
where to start.  I don't know where you would have read it. As far as RBL
and the enforcement goes, keep up with the thread. I have already said, the
state wouldn't do anything on their own. He stepped on someone's toes a year
ago and got investigated. He slipped by on that one. They must, by law,
investigate complaints, but he is really not a threat to the health, safety
and welfare of the public as stated in the statute to be a big concern to
them. In other words he isn't worth the time or money.  His BBB report may
come to their attention by wat of a consumer complaint. Again, I don't give
two rats asses about his activities, just his over inflated ego. I have been
asked to stop since it is boring. I don't if it was his activities or his
ego that is boring, but either way I heard what they said.
