When elevators attack II
Washington Monthly, May, 2006 by Charles Peters
In West Virginia, the Charleston Gazette found that seven of the 14 elevators in three state office buildings were not working, and riding in the others was "scary" and "herky-jerky, like bouncing on a bungee cord." Only two elevators had up-to-date inspection certificates. All of this despite the fact that a Pennsylvania contractor had been hired by the state in May 2003 to advise on how to fix its elevators.
The contractor, Richard A. Kennedy, charges $105 per hour, and $1,000 per day in expenses. His services do not seem to have enjoyed spectacular success.
