Could this be a potential Greer zoning scandal

Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News, Oct 7, 1998

Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News

Oct. 6--TALLAHASSEE, Fla.--On a dirt road at the edge of town, Florida lawmakers used to meet for steaks, drinks and less savory activities, courtesy of one of the state's most powerful lobbies -- the mobile-home industry.
[snip]During the peak party years at the trailers -- 1961 to 1978 -- more than 350,000 new mobile homes rolled onto Florida lots, and the way was paved for another 350,000 in the 1980s. These were giant waves in a rising tide that would change the face of the state and leave a legacy still visible today. Mobile homes became a crucial part of Florida's housing inventory, but most were built and installed with far less government safety scrutiny than other homes.
[snip]What about the insurance industry? Its fear of further financial losses helped prod Chiles and the Legislature to craft tougher building-code legislation for conventional homes. But the insurance industry shows no similar interest in mobile-home safety.
"Unfortunately, economics are a large part of it," said Ray Blacklidge, a senior vice president with the Jerger Co. Inc., one of the state's largest mobile-home insurers.
Insurers do face claims when a storm rips through a mobile-home park. But losses are relatively small. It may take as many as 10 ruined mobile homes to amount to the same loss for insurers that the destruction of a single, $250,000 site-built home represents.
And, Blacklidge said, "it takes a whole lot of mobile homes to be destroyed to come up with a $1 million loss."

Richard M. Jerger, who was a director (with Schiavo) of Jerger & Centonze Insurance Inc., which ran out of the home of Schiavo's sweetie, is a holder in the PHILADELPHIA CONSOLIDATED HOLDING CORP which bought out Jerger and Sons.

Jerger and Sons insured mobile homes. According to an article I posted above, politicians partied while inferior homes were being built.

The insurers did not care about the safety of the mobile homes--they were cheap to replace after disasters.

The politicians liked the support they got from those in the mobile home industry.

PHILADELPHIA CONSOLIDATED HOLDING CORP stopped providing insurance to nursing homes at about the time they bought Jerger, and took over the mobile home insurance business.

Did Greer do anything funny with zoning for mobile homes?
