The hearing was called by U.S. senators Bill Nelson of Florida and Mary Landrieu of Louisiana.

Both states are dealing with the defective drywall in residents’ homes — Florida more so because it is estimated that 36,000 homes are affected.

Kampf, 56, is former chief of staff for the EPA in Philadelphia. He moved here to a $315,000 home built in 2006 to retire with his wife, Patti, and son Stephen.

You can read the text of the entire testimony he will give the committee when the hearing begins at 10:30 a.m.

The Kampfs say they still have not yet received a satisfactory response from their builder.
