One of the largest providers of military housing in the United States continues to respond inadequately to mold and other problems reported by residents.
Air Force Technical Sergeant Jack Fe Torres described how a mold problem persisted in a Balfour Beatty house that his family lived in at Sheppard Air Force Base. He said that after moving into the home, his wife and children experienced symptoms that included rashes, nausea, memory loss, and fungal infections.Richard Taylor, a president at Balfour Beatty, said he made a commitment to Congress in 2019 that the company would get better at monitoring repairs and responding to problems.
He said those emails came in after the 2013-2019 period in which Balfour Beatty had pleaded guilty to defrauding the government. Ossoff asked why lawmakers should believe that a company that engaged in major fraud has changed. "Things go wrong. We don't always get it right the first time. We're not perfect," Taylor said."What's important for us is that we understand where our shortcomings are and we take action to correct those deficiencies."
