Three separate federal agencies. Three separate reviews. Each examining one piece of what's happening in McCracken County. In isolation.

You hire three separate inspectors — one for the foundation, one for the electrical, one for the plumbing. Each inspector looks only at their assigned system. None of them is required to look a
