SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — During her final years working for the state tax board, Peggy Robinson went to work afraid of the building mold that she says left her with constant coughing, headaches and skin rashes.

She also recalls water problems culminating in burst pipes flooding floors and forcing employees to relocate. And that’s not to mention the near-daily annoyances for nearly 2,000 workers at the Board of Equalization headquarters, where Robinson worked from its 1993 opening until her retirement two years ago.
