SAN FRANCISCO'S RESERVOIRS ARE CONTAMINATED - SUFFERING FROM DEFERRED MAINTAINCE - SFPUC HAS FAILED US ON ALL FRONTS WASTING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS - DENNIS HERRERA HAS JUMPED SHIP - THE SF PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION - RUBBER STAMPING.

 

San Francisco and contaminated drinking water.

www.OSHA.gov

San Francisco once had some semblance—some standards, some way of doing things right. 

Today, San Francisco has gone to the hogs—on all fronts: the SF Board of Supervisors, dealing with mundane things, the laughingstock of the entire Bay Area.

How many times must we expose the SF Public Utilities Commission to standards?

 Our reservoirs are contaminated. 

In any other City's elsewhere in the United States, an emergency would be declared. 

You can inform the City's and County of San Francisco Health Department, but no one gives a damn.

Try informing the Environmental Protection Agency — the response goes nowhere.

We all know our reservoirs and other clean drinking water assets are vulnerable to hacking—the current system is primitive—and we know our assets will be targeted sooner rather than later.

The reservoirs we have in San Francisco are not maintained as they should be — deferred maintenance is one ploy, allowing the crooks to avoid spending the money to clean them, delaying repairs, and spending it on other things.

The reservoirs were built over a hundred years ago to preserve the clean water brought all the way from Hetch Hetch, using gravity and huge pipes to deliver it south of San Francisco, where it lands at Crystal Springs.

From there, the water was piped to University Mound, Hunters Point, Potrero Hill, and Sunset by Lombard Street—on top of the Reservoir, folks enjoy playing tennis. The Reservoir was graded some years ago; there is an unsecured door leading to the Reservoir. Folks go there and use the water for various purposes.

It is a shame when you bring something as important as certification and standards to the attention of those who should listen—upper management— and they do not give a damn. 

Open defiance —dereliction of duty —one can bring an emergency to the attention of management, and they do not give a damn. All this must stop, and those in management—all fired.

Again and again, the SFPUC is defying the employees and some of us who speak to the situation at Public Comment—at the SF Public Utilities Commission meetings—while the Main Media are fast asleep at the cockpit.

Right now, laborers are receiving "Confined Space" training after the fact.

It must be noted that Joe King and Adolfo Padilla did the right thing, and the SF Water Department—the managers— did the wrong thing. The corrupt managers still think they can do what they want. 

These managers must be fired, and the time is now — foremost Steve Richie, William Taehan, Frank Jordon, and Joy Chen, who works in HR.

The City and County of San Francisco pretend that it can provide information when a taxpayer uses the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA); in reality, we are dealing with a baffoon.

We conducted our own investigation and found that the five reservoirs in San Francisco were not cleaned to standard; this was once done by the plumbers, who refused to continue the "Confined Space" work because they were not paid according to the standards —they were not certified to do the hazardous work, which the SF OSHA is looking into and will indict the managers and SF Water Department.

The City and County of San Francisco —moreover, the SF City Attorney's office has participated in blatant retaliation — aided and abetted by Steve Richie, Dennis Herrera, Ron Flin, Joy Chen, and a host of other good-for-nothing, very corrupt individuals.

The SF Water Department - William Taehan, Frank Jordon, Steve Richie, the current Deputy Manager Ron Flin - the General Manager who is on extended vacation and will retire in December are all lying - have no records that should be in place - lie and the the FOIA reporting to questions - borders on nothing that is true - there are NO documents - so how can anyone speak Truth to power/

We have the empirical data — we know all the plots and shenanigans that were used to retaliate against Joe King and Adolfo Paddila — we have experts on our team who can address every act of retaliation, and we will see that justice rules supreme. 

The SFPUC Water Department stinks to high heaven.

Folks watching porno while at work, stealing copper wire and raking in thousands, stealing eyeglasses, and caught by the SF Police Department — these jerks think they are privileged and that we will tolerate their utter nonsense — we will not.

Joe King, Conrad King, and Adolfo Padilla were never written up before — Adolfo Padilla was commended as the " Employee of the Year"— Joe King took workshops on his own — and led the various teams and maintained standards.

In the recent month the SFPUC has kept canceling the SF Public Utilities Commission meetings — we see people leaving —jumping ship— the managers thought they could harm innocent employees — treat them with disdain — well, your days are numbered — you all will fall on your face, as I predicted at the many SF Public Utilities Meetings I attend, and remind you gadflies sitting on the wall.

The SFPUC is an enterprise department and charges a lot for clean drinking water, which is pumped to homes—contaminated. Often, the water from our taps stinks.

When the matter is reported to the SF Water Department, no one wants to tell the Truth. No one wants to fix the problem.

Every Reservoir in San Francisco has large amounts of sludge that have been accumulating for years; no cleanup has been done. The water is treated with hydrogen chloride - but that does not keep the water clean -then the sludge is not removed, and the reservoirs are not sanitized

The SF Control has audited the SFPUC many times and brought some necessary charges to their attention — the SFPUC looks the other way — and keeps defying the taxpayers and those who tell them what to do, hoping to serve decent, hardworking citizens. You pay large amounts for the sewer and so-called clean drinking water.

The SF Board of Supervisors has no clue what is happening—most of them are there to receive bribes, and many of them have been fined, the present ones and those who have termed out.

The SF Board of Supervisors does not understand what quality of Life is—they themselves are not mannerly; they talk from both sides of their mouth. Can you imagine that over one million people can be exposed to contaminated drinking water?

The EPA must step up - and the Federal Bureau of Investigation can step up too - charge SFPUC with the RICO - a lot of looting is going on - copper stolen and sold, other dubious activites sell water that has not been treated - the SFPUC Water Department - is corrupt and needs to be investigated - rampant nepotism and abject corruption prevails - and innocent workers fired - and all this must be investigated.

Recently, I sent a Freedom of Information Act request—it took the SFPUC two months to respond. The answers were bland - and many of them half-truths. We will provide all this and more before a judge and would like to see SFPUC on the stand — reveal the truth.

San Francisco has always stood for standards—the SF Board of Supervisors has no clue what is happening—except to pass resolutions and give Commendations that are not worth the salt.

Our Reservoirs, the Sunset, the one at Potrero Hill, the one at Hunter Point, the one at Lombard Street, the one at University Mound — all experience deferred maintenance — enough is enough.

The plumbers are supposed to work on " Confined Spaces," not the laborers — who are at this late date — given some training, but not the 40 hours of training that is needed to be certified and to do work in " Confined Spaces. "

These idiots — keep sending a list to me - that has former workers who have retired, one who was shot and killed at Ocean Beach, others who left the SF Water Department a long time ago - ten years — the ones who have sent this list to me thinks that I have no access to experts and have been following these jackasses, the likes of William Taehan and Frank Jordon, for many years.

The folks think they can fool us - and this nonsense must STOP.

As I have been saying time to address the nonense - the RICO act is one that must be used - to get to the bottom - stealing, lying, retaliation, abuse, stealing, cheating, and managers abusing the employees.

Dennis Herrera has jumped ship.

www.osha.gov

The SF Water Department in San Francisco is in a mess—folks like Steve Richie, William Taehan, Frank Jordon, Joy Chen from HR, Dennis Herrera, Ron Flin, and his minions—have been wasting millions of dollars.

One has to go to the SF Controller's website—audit after audit exposing waste of money, no standards, and, what is important to note, open defiance—giving a damn to the taxpayers and decent San Franciscans.

San Francisco demand: "Quality of Life Standards." The Mayor is a Joke.

The President of the SF Board of Supervisors— annot make a sound needs assessment; all he does is pander to the other Board of Supervisors. Many of them cannot speak the English language and are busy reading "Resolutions that go nowhere.

The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission started with a $6 billion budget for the Sewer System Improvement Project (SSIP) — and spent more of it in record time.

We bring the stolen water from Hetch Hetchy to San Francisco — a distance of about 122 miles — and then, to this day, waste clean drinking water by flushing our toilets.

SFPUC has no clue about fixing its assets when it comes to hacking—yet it has a consultant to improve its energy source from stacks. Stacks are not clean, contrary to the claim that we in San Francisco provide clean energy. Theseokers never cease to amaze me—iots.

SFPUC could have done better with " solar sites" a long time ago but failed to do so. LAFCO and some of us tried to educate SFPUC, to no avail. SFPUC is looking for energy in all the wrong places.

Ask them about Qutum technology, and they have no clue what one is talking about — attend some of their meetings —linked to their assets —they are still decades behind — nd are good at abusing taxpayers' money — the SFPUC, when it comes to providing " quality of Life " issues, is drowning in a cesspool.

Audit after audit done by the SF Controller exposes how pathetic SFPUC is— time will tell.

The salmon are dwindling.

SF Reservoirs are contaminated.

It spent money taking on the Clean Water Act—we advocates fought for the Clean Water Act—that the City's and County of San Francisco, the City's Attorney David Chiu and Dennis Herrera, the General Manager of the SFPUC, who has jumped ship—and disgraced himself.

When the Supreme Court favored the City's and County of San Francisco, the Clean Water Act was neutralized, and today, rivers, lakes, oceans, and watersheds are all compromised—contaminated by factories, chemicals, and pollution.

SPUC took pride in being foolish!

Where all the nonsense takes place.

The City and County of San Francisco is surrounded by the Bay on three sides, and the Bay, as we know it today,y is contaminated - there is a surge of algae that adversely impacts the fish and other living species in the Bay;

The contamination must not be taken lightly by the decision makers — the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, 525 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco — who have no clue what to do and have failed to conduct a meaningful needs assessment.

It is the same with the salmon that have dwindled from millions to hundreds.

The SFPUC does not give a rat's ass about the Tuolumne River and the other rivers by Hetch Hetchy. 

The SFPUC listens to consultants who are there to amass wealth and kick the can down the street.

The SFPUC does not pay attention to Public Comment—and all this, and more, will come to haunt them soon.

Richard Sklar, former General Manager of SFPUC.

Hetch Hetchy

Right now, the idiots want to choose a General Manager.

Someone who thinks that shooting arrows in the air will hit the right target — it simply does not work like that. Dennis Herrera was not an engineer. There is no way these hunters can make it happen. None has institutional experience and is educated on the issues that matter.

Chronologically speaking, these folks want the money and have been taking SFPUC for a wild ride—in the past, Dwayne Jones and the Amerson Document; Julie LaBonte and Susan Leal, with the Joint Venture linked to dubious entities that amassed over $3 billion; and Dianne Feinstein and Richard Blum. 

The present corruption at the Water Department knows no bounds —Ennis Herrera is jumping ship to save his pension. His annual salary is half a million dollars?

Will his sidekick, Ron Flin, be thrown under the bus?

They have no clue how to choose a General Manager like Richard Sklar or Anson Moran—it is not easy—and even if they find someone, they will not agree to work for SFPUC.

 

WE ARE NO LONGER A SUPERPOWER WITH STANDARDS - WE HAVE FAILED MURDERING AND KILLING THOUSANDS IN GAZA - BOMBING SMALL BOATS IN INTERNATIONAL WATERS - AT HOME ARRESTING AMERICAN CITIZENS WITHOUT CAUSE - WHERE ARE OUR VALUES THAT AMERICA WAS KNOWN FOR?

NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND IS ADDRESSING QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES - WE HAVE FOLKS RUNNING FOR OFFICE - MUCH LIKE CLOWNS WHO WANT TO JOIN THE CIRCUS - WHO IS EDUCATED ON ISSUES - IS THERE CAN ONE THAT CAN DO A SOUND NEEDS ASSESSMENT?

 

Life is for the living, not the living dead.

This land, all of it, was stolen and belongs to the indigenous people.

In less than 150 years after landing on Turtle Island - Whites who came here to be free - without documents - landed on Turtle Island and starved to death.

History has recorded the empathy of the indigenous tribes and how they saved the lives of the Whites - initially, the Whites thanked the indigenous - however, as time went by, they bit the hand that fed them.

We are celebrating the 250th birthday of the United States, which fell on July 6, 2026.

On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was adopted in Philadelphia.

Negro slaves were brought here on Turtle Island by British-held American colonies in August, 1619.

Negro slaves served their masters and were not paid, nor were they respected, and were mostly treated with disdain - we fail to understand this one fact - and simply read what history tells us, which are mostly lies. 

In the year 2026, we read, and here the anchor folks explain to us about the lack of Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion.

The Smithsonian tried its best to reveal to those that care - meaning those whose ancestors were slaves.

Slaves brought millions to the White Masters as free labor - growing cotton and sugarcane - slaving and dying, and no one paid attention to the dignity of slaves - they were considered chattel.

Nothing such changed - not an iota - the privileged use one language when they talk outside their circle - and another when they meet to gang on those that live paycheck to paycheck.

Who built the Pyramids? Who first created algebra and geometry? Who learned to embalm bodies that still look real today? Who gathered philosophers and architects - paid for their lodging and resources to learn and share? Who knows Hannibal and how he brought the Romans to their knees?

Who gathers the best herbs and spreads them all over the world? Where did the silk and spice originate, and who takes credit for all this and more?

Where did the alphabet originate, and who were the first to write on paper and leather scrolls - and keep history alive? 

While all this and more was in place - most Whites lived in caves and slept with sheep - took baths once in five or ten years - and all this and more speaks volumes, and some of us still do not get it!

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 - that few of us care to study and more be proud of - must not be taken for granted.

Do not run for office if you are not a good leader.

Do not run for office if you cannot respect yourself - spirituality - good actions - count.

If you truly honor your Elders, one can expect good from you.

Good leaders know the way, show the way, and go the way.

Forget Artificial Intelligence - Quantum technology  -  will speed things a million times over and bring about drastic changes - ask those at SF City's Hall what they know about Quantum technology?

Where will we get the energy to operate large data centers and use Quantum technology to keep pace with China, for instance - and where are the leaders from our universities who can keep up with the students from China and other places where colleges and universities are respected? Here in the United States, we have a narcissist who gives a damn.

How many of these clowns who want to run for office have served in the military? How many are philosophers, deep into sociology, theology, archaeology, architecture, medicine, computer science, engineering, construction of buildings - be it horizontal and vertical?

Today's politicians have changed - from day one after they are elected, they think about how they can be in office and not be removed - they think of many ways to amass money - Political Action Committees (PACs) and other means - one worse than the other.

Psychology and psychiatry, where are the scientists that have a patent; once we had good musicians, actors, qualified teachers and professors, historians who knew more about the Buffalo Soldiers - where have all of them gone?

Anyone can be a clown - just place a red ball on your nose - and do not need to say a word!  

How many of us have studied the Constitution? What do you really know about the First Amendment? The 14th Amendment?

How many of you go to SF City's's Hall and truly represent the people?

How many of you have read the San Francisco Charter - and if you have - why has the present SF Charter so many amendments - most favoring the crooks?

Decent citizens are leaving San Francisco in the thousands - why?

Where are the negro leaders of the caliber of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jessie Jackson, others who led the fight  - who could take a stand and be succinct and follow the likes of Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman? 

Today in the year 2026, most Negroes are talking in circles when we must unite and take a stand - a stand that Frederick Douglass took and Abraham Lincoln listened to.

More than 40,000 negroes died in the American Civil War - they were promised this, that, and the other - and received little if nothing at all.

Today- Truth be told negro military officers - ranking generals - negro women in the military - 300,000 negro women who worked for the Office of Personnel Management - have been fired without cause.

Today, negroes are worse off, and every day the trials and tribulations surge - most live paycheck to paycheck - cannot pay their rent, and suffer from health issues and food insecurity. 

Here in San Francisco, the health disparity knows no bounds - the poor - those that cannot pay their rent - live on the streets, and no one gives a damn.

Our Elders are housed in trailers by Pier 96 - sand flying all over the place - the sand piled up nearby - to be used by those in the concrete business - no one gives a hoot - how our elders are treated.

 Not long ago, one person linked to the trailers looking after the elders - had his own business - wheeling and dealing and providing entertainment of all sorts - more quickies.

One day he was found shot in his car - while most knew what was happening - no one bothered to keep such atrocities away from our elders - most of them in shock - when this blatant incident was brought to their attention. 

The current so-called Board of Supervisors - representing District 10 was fined by the Ethics Commission - he admitted he did wrong - and pleaded he did not have money - paid a measly $5000 and got away with murder.

The same supervisor once visited Bogota, Colombia to check out the HOOTERS - he had money for that excursion and his big mouth - that he can do this and that - is hogwash. 

He will be termed out - and has done nothing much - lives in Vallejo and pretends all is well - does not get along with the present Mayor - and makes tons of promises that are not kept.

At one time, the Bayview Hunters Point was respected - these outsiders came in from places like Modesto and Vallejo - using thugs to do their bidding and think all is well - time will tell.

The shooting and killings are on the increase and break-ins are carried out every day - the streets are filthy - the brand new housing units - have trash piled up and the stench spreading for miles - the wind blows strong on the hill - the jerks who are in housing - must be ashamed of themselves formost the Office of Invesment and Infrastrure - that Commission full of sell outs - wheeling and dealing.

The pandemic affected our infants, children, youth, and young adults - while most of them suffered - little was done to address the consequences of the pandemic - practically every home with an extended family - experienced someone dying - and this and other trials and tribulations - have traumatized our children and youth.

There are a few do-gooders, Cheeko and Jamo - they do what they do best - listen to the children and youth and comfort them. 

Our single mothers have an immense burden, and our grandmothers for decades have kept the family united - there are tons of audits done - health reports linked to the Bayview Hunters Point - no one reads the statistics. No resources are given to the needy.

The community knows the sellouts and allows them to keep the community down - putting hurdles - pretend to represent and fill their pockets with blood money - this nonsense has been going on for decades - and the time has come to - put the sellouts on notice.

The Opera House on Third Street was once available for all - we in the 1980s fixed the place and in the year 2000 brought in chairs and long tables and more - and kept the Opera House available for all kinds of functions. 

Only for thugs and greedy jerks to take over and ruin all our hard work. Today one has to dole out thousands to use the Opera House - and more outsiders use it - the privileged from far off places - come into our community and do harm.

The history of the Bayview is rich with Ruth Williams, known for all her hard work at the Opera House  - once a Mason Lodge.

Danny Glover and others trained - now well known as actors - they brought fame and kept the flag flying high.

There have been many singers, dancers, and those producers and talented actors - performing one-of-a-kind dramas, musicals and concerts of all kinds that served the community.

We remember the famous riot and the National Guard's shooting and attacking the Bayview Opera House - those that were there today are no more - and daily we have few who know the true history - no one cares and divisiveness of the worst kind - is surging and must STOP.

Once there was 1800 Oakdale - that building played a key role and now has been shut for good, and plans are afoot to build units - who came out with such a plan - must be crazy.

The elders chose the site at 1800 Oakdale to serve the Elders, the children, youth, and young adults - there were all sorts of training and education - that provided all sorts of skills - tailoring, cuisine one of a kind- there were teachers who taught English, Maths, Science and whatever was needed to be taught.

The Elders met and took care of business - no more.

1550 is run badly - there is really no love shared like in the old days - there is something in the environment that is cold. Each time I visit 1550 on the second floor north, that is the room with a fan on - day and night - no one can make that fan stop. 

The fan is saying something - I need to be cared for, but there is no one to take care of me. Round and Round I go around. Check it out!

Billionaires have received checks - while the taxpayers - have been denied health services, fired from their jobs, treated with disdain, and most of us allow the MEGA goons - to make hay while the sun shines.

Immigrants suffer every day - and many of them are citizens - jailed without cause, incarcerated and abused, many die - and will read about the atrocities - but can do little to bring about succor to those that need help most.

Immigrants and those who came here brought against their will - made this country - not the privileged Whites - most have not learned anything from World War I and II - the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the war in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, the present skirmish linked to Iran.   

Daily, our quality of Life issues fade - the Middle Class is no more - and to rent and live is difficult - and we call ourselves a superpower.

The Democrats failed us all - and even as Independents are there in numbers - we do not have leaders to unite the Independents and make good things happen.

Daily we have to endure insults from a maniac who lives in the White House that was built to serve the citizens - this maniac is autocratic and daily breaks the law, lying, cheating, hoodwinking - being a felon.

Here in San Francisco, the SF Board of Supervisors acts like clowns - San Francisco has a $16.9 billion two-year budget closing a $700 million deficit.  

Year after year, quality-of-life issues have eroded in San Francisco.

Our Mayor has no clue and thinks he can run the City's's and County of San Francisco - much like his non-profit, Tipping Point!

San Francisco has a Charter that has now been amended more to serve the crooks.

We have folks trying to run for office to make a living cheating and lying - most of them take bribes - and this and more must come to an end.

Our infants and children are suffering in San Francisco.

Our elders, more those suffering from Dementia and Alzheimer's, have no place to go - once they could get succor at Laguna Honda, no more - that facility has been inundated by drug addicts preying on the Seniors. 

San Francisco has reservoirs that are supposed to contain clean drinking water - that is not the case - the reservoirs are contaminated.

OSHA.GOV

San Francisco: OSHA and EPA know about it - so do the SF Board of Supervisors - it's time the SF Public Utilities Commission be charged under the RICO Act.

Tests conducted of the sewer water in the Bay Area and here in San Francisco show high concentrations of COVID-19, suggesting an increase in virus spread - the SF Health Department is fast asleep at the cockpit.

SAN FRANCISCO ONCE HAD STANDARDS - OUR CITY CHARTER HAS BEEN AMENDED TOO MANY TIMES - THOSE PRETENDING TO BE SUPERVISORS AT CITY HALL - HAVE FAILED US - THEY TALK A LOT - NO SOUND ACTIONS.

 

San Francisco has a track record of taking a stand and listening to the citizens of San Francisco - all this has been wiped out by individuals who have failed us. Each of our eleven districts has failed San Franciscans.

I have been attending the San Francisco Board of Supervisors for over forty-five years - I have a track record - studying issues - working with groups that believe in empirical data - and taking a stand.

You must watch the current SF Board of Supervisors - talking from both sides of their mouth - each looking to jump ship - to seek higher office - when right now - they cannot do a needs assessment - and have failed all San Franciscans.

I brought to the attention of the SF BOS that our reservoirs are contaminated - supposedly containing clean drinking water - and the SFPUC, more specifically the Water Department, cannot answer our FOIA requests about how they maintain our reservoirs - no documents of work done and who has done the cleanup and maintenance.

The laborers who were put in harm's way - they had no training and certification linked to " Confined Space " - our SF BOS are idiots - how can we take the risk and put over one million human beings in harm's way?

We appeared before the SF Board of Supervisors on key issues in the thousands and brought the SF BOS to a stand - today, the SF BOS are lackeys - some of them are so corrupt that they are the laughing stock - and are known all over California and the United States.

When it comes to housing, health care, more seniors being cared for in their golden years, education of our children, safety with our SF Police Department making all sorts of excuses - and spending millions on overtime and corruption.

The SF Public Utilities Commission has failed us all - large projects,  for example - the "Recycling Project," over $350 million wasted - the infrastructure stalled - the machinery eroded - at SF Ocean Beach - and no one gives a damn.

I asked a few questions under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) - I asked if the SF reservoirs going back to 5 years in San Francisco were maintained - the answer the SF Department gave was yes - this is a lie.

In some of the reservoirs, there is sludge - other contamination putting millions in harm's way.  

Mr Steve Richie - you should be ashamed of yourself to aid and abet William Taehan and Frank Jordon - both managers - have failed - dereliction of duty.

We have empirical data on sludge and other contaminants and will present it when we meet with SF-OSHA soon.

One Reservoir has people defecating, and the SFPUC thinks that this one Reservoir, which is not clean and sanitized, is still not sanitized, and the audacity of the SF FOIA to lie.

I asked another question - I would like the testing done at the SF Reservoirs - I was told to bring to their attention what testing - we can find this out through the SF-OSHA - who has asked the same question and not received an answer.

I asked whether the employees were certified to do the work in a "Confined Space." This question was avoided by the SFPUC FOIA; they have done it before.

The employees who were fired were not certified and had no training. The SF Water Department - the managers William Taehan and Frank Jordon Jr - did not offer the employees any training, and thus none were certified.

With intent, the managers and SFPUC upper management, Steve Richie and General Manager Dennis, sent employees to perform work without the proper training, the proper equipment, and without following the many policies and standards linked to "Confined Space".

This " Confined Space " project is carried out by the Plumpers - in this case, the Plumpers refused to do the job - they asked for a higher rate to do the work. 

The managers William Taehan and Frank Jordon Jr took upon themselves to entice and hoodwink the laborers, and this one fact says it all - with intent to put the laborers in harm's way.

The SFPUC must be ashamed of themselves - they have yet to apologize to the victims - and have failed to contact the victims - and offer them an apology. Time will tell.

We now see that the City and County of San Francisco have been using the City's's Attorney's Office to weaponize its staff to create fake information to bring disgrace to that office - dereliction of duty.

In the case linked to the three laborers who were targeted we see no clear facts that permit any sensible person to harm and fire the leader of the laborers tasked to a " Confined Space " project - first having no training, thus not certified - the managers themselves William Taehan and Frank Jordon Jr know this but have chosen to lie to the SF OSHA and this and more will be revealed to all.

www.osha.gov

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has a track record when anyone is harmed in any environment - and you have the facts to prove that the harm will adversely affect anyone - OSHA will look into the facts and stand tall and represent.

OSHA falls under the Department of Labor, and both entities are fully aware of many cases in which the standards and policies governing "Confined Space" operations have not been followed. 

One can easily check out whatever one wants to learn about the many standards and polices linked to " Confined Space " and realize the many standard more than twenty - that should be in place - checked, monitored, and documentation kept for five years at least - working in confined Space underground - in tight place - in place that are hard to get - put those working and operating in such Space in harm's way.

The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission is defying the citizens of San Francisco - the General Manager has now chosen to retire - he is an attorney, not an engineer.

A person who does not understand the many issues linked to infrastructure - horizontal and vertical construction - he must apologize that his managers failed - and have yet to apologize.

Truth be told - the managers have not kept documents - do not want to take the responsibility that they, with intent, sent the laborers into harm's way.

We have the empirical data - shame on all of you in the City and County at all levels that tolerate such utter nonsense. 

We formed a team - I headed the team - and brought the experts who could explain to us - collectively speaking, the two experts had 80 years of experience.

We all read the document presented by the three workers - page by page- and were shocked by how the SFPUC Human Resources Department - Joy Chen, the two managers William Taehan and Frank Jordon Jr.- handled the case. 

The Assistant General Manager could have done better; he chose to aid and abet the managers and the SFPUC Human Resources, who brought about this dereliction of duty and abject retaliation against three innocent and hardworking laborers.

Joy Chen should step down with intent to harm the laborers and has yet to apologize.

Again and again, when the Freedom of Information Act is used - and we enquire when the Reservoirs were last maintained and sanitized, the answer given is that they will have to provide a lot of information, and this is not feasible.

We asked under the FOIA Act to be provided with the test results for the water from the Reservoirs - the same answer - too cumbersome to provide all the information.

The lies and their lies will be revealed before a judge - we will name the culprits and see them shiver and pale when these liars have to speak the Truth.

The SF- OSHA will receive all the valid facts and information - the entire facts from the day the laborers were fired just because they asked for training and brought to the attention of William Taehan, Frank Jordon Jr, Joy Chen, and Steve Richie - each of these could have been fair but chose to play with fire. 

Hundreds of SFPUC employees can testify that the work conditions at SFPUC are getting worse - surveys taken prove the dissatisfaction at the workplace - the workers are treated with disdain - and treated badly.

It is time for the SF Controller and the SF Inspector General to look deeply into this case and not kick the can down the street.

Time we all learn that our workers, more laborers, are to be respected - and upper management must follow standards and policies and not treat our workers with disdain.

We do not have a single newspaper in San Francisco that does sound investigative reporting.

We have reservoirs that are filthy and not cleaned - supposedly hold clean drinking water - the water pumped to over 83,000 people, the population of San Francisco - that grows to over one million when people come to work - and more when we have conventions and huge sports events.

Does the City and County of San Francisco recognize that this issue is linked to the dirty, stinking reservoirs and deserves serious attention - an emergency on a war footing?

Who is going to do something about this serious issue?

Where is the SF Health Department on this issue?

Where is the Federal Government on this issue?

Where is the California State Government on this issue?

Where is the Mayor of San Francisco on this issue?

 Why are the constituents of San Francisco treated with disdain - more on Quality of Life issues?

In San Francisco today, the SF City's Attorney's Office is weaponizing itself to prey on victims who have been removed without cause.

The traumatized victims - fired - and the traumatized victims questioned on subjects that have nothing to do with their work -  creating hundreds, if not thousands, of pages of fake documents and all this and more needs to stop - no one is above the law.

These fake documents take hours to read - as one realizes that the contents are not facts but lies - blaming the victims for creating a hostile environment, not doing something that they were supposed to do, and not having any documentation linked to these allegations.

I had to work with experts who read the document and came to the same conclusion - most cases follow some boilerplate model - these attorneys should be debarred and more working for the City's and County of San Francisco.

One Joy Chen gathered the workers and forced them to make some statements that were fabricated - when Human Resources uses such tactics - it is time to call the Feds - and charge these folks who have disdain for people - fabricate and ruin the lives of so many innocent and hardworking SFPUC workers.

Those victims who are traumatized get a nervous breakdown, and it is very difficult for them to focus normally  - forcing the victim to think hard, confusing them, and further traumatizing them.

It took me 8 months to bring the victims back on track. I had to gather some experts who took their time and had patience to investigate - the SF OSHA will contact two experts who have 80 years of experience between them - and I too may be called to testify - and can shed light where there is abject darkness.

Also, ganging up on the victims - and the victims have no place to go for help. Attorneys ask for large sums of money - many attorneys have no clue about the hazards of " Confined Space" operations, standards, and projects. 

Many victims have taken their lives, and one cannot get the records from the SF Morgue - because the State of California forbids giving out this information.

As far as the SFPUC is concerned, every FOIA I sent them comes back with a general statement and no statistics or documentation. Those managing the SFPUC FOIA are suspect and need to be investigated.

The Feds can have access to many audits conducted by the SF Controller's office - all of which paint a picture of the SFPUC lacking standards and wasting millions of dollars.

The Feds can have access to the many surveys conducted by the SFPUC linked to the workplace environment and read for themselves the state of affairs: most SFPUC employees do not approve of the rampant retaliation; innocent, hardworking employees are being fired.

This is San Francisco - the home of the Unions who took care of the employees.

No -  more - the Unions are looking away - failing to serve the employees who pay Union dues and get nothing in return.

The Unions must wake up and stop paying the Union officers who call the shots - fail to serve.

Dig deep into the dues of the hardworking workers, have a good time, use their power, and look with disdain on those who pay their salaries.

The Unions and the billionaires are now working hand in hand - forgetting that the workers took care of the millionaires decades ago - trying to create the middle class that has vanished today.

Our Health Department is in a mess, with no doctor heading the SF Health Department but a person with experience in Marketing who has no clue, chronologically speaking, about the ins and outs of the health issues in San Francisco.

We all fought hard for our Seniors - yet today, because of the surge linked to dementia and related issues, hundreds are living on the streets of San Francisco - many of them were once middle class.

One can land at the SF General Hospital and be charged $100,000 for all sorts of testing and more for the stay, even if it is for one day.

Paradoxically, the EMTs know how to send someone to the SF General Hospital to rake up the cost and have an HMO like Kaiser to pay the bill - and all because the victim has good insurance, and this nonsense must stop.

If you live in San Francisco, you pay all sorts of taxes - most of them collected by the SF Board of Supervisors - who at one time made a few hundred dollars in pay - but now earn 400% and do a lousy job.

Right now, all our reservoirs have serious problems - they are contaminated, and the water - that should be devoid of being unhygienic - is known to the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission General Manager and the SF Water Department, but no one cares.

www.osha.org

Three employees who worked for the SFPUC were fired. SF OSHA is looking into the issues. The SFPUC Water Department is refusing to provide answers. A lack of training is linked to projects known to engineers and other experts as "Confined Space" projects.

Who is in their right mind would send more laborers when the work is assigned to Plumbers who refused to do the work? The SFPUC Water Department has the intent of putting innocent, hardworking laborers who belong to Union 261 in harm's way.

San Francisco is no longer a Union when those who pay their dues are told that the Union 261 cannot help them - and the victims must fend for themselves.

We have a population of 830,000 and a budget of $17 billion, and have the audacity to expect each SF City Department to cut the number of employees and spend less.

Our SF Police Department is understaffed by 800 officers - and more will retire this year - and all this and more - with SF BOS pretending to say something - always talking in circles - and doing nothing at all.

The SFPUC is the worst of them all when it comes to corruption. One has just to read the audits linked to SFPUC :

www.sfpuc.org

Audit after audit reveals how deep the corruption is, and no one, not even the present Mayor, thinks that something should be done about the many atrocities committed and the blatant disdain the SF Water Department has for those who are not White.

Those running for the various Districts right now are not educated on the issues - they are backed by corrupt groups - nothing much has changed - many are lingering in jails - charged with corruption - and many are on the waiting list - many of them linked to SFPUC.

When it comes to serving the constituents of San Francisco, most of the SFPUC take bribes. The bribes are known to the Controller and other entities such as the Ethics Commission, but all this and more does not deter the SF Board of Supervisors.

The SF Board of Supervisors has not once brought up the corruption and millions spent - linked to the Treatment Plant by the Zoo at Ocean Beach; the plant was supposed to address recycling water.

 The machinery lay there unused and corroded - $213 million down the drain. 

The overruns linked to the other project at Calaveras, Mountain Tunnel, the new building over one million square feet that will replace the current SF Water Department with William Taechan and Frank Jordon - salavating the run the new SF Water Department,

When in fact right now they should be fired for corruption and dereliction of duty - their deeds known to the authorities.

We have San Franciscans in San Francisco - good leaders who are fed up with the SF Board of Supervisors - the corrupt in several layers - nothing much changes - again and again innocent hardworking employees - SF City's's employees are fired with cause.

The Civil Service Commission is a Joke. The Unions are of no help - again and again - the victims who pay their dues - cannot have access to an attorney - the attorneys are hired by the Unions. What sense does this make - the fox guarding the chicken coop?

We need a hearing on the operations linked to the Civil Service Commission that has not represented the SF City's's and County employees - fair play and justice denied.

We have a Mayor who thinks he can run the City's's and County of San Francisco like the Non-Profit Tipping Point or a Corporation of sorts  - the man is not fit to be a Mayor - he must look elsewhere for work or fade into oblivion.

Barbara Hale has retired. 

She worked for the SFPUC and was brought in by Susan Leal.

 Dennis Herrera is retiring in December. 

He was brought in by London Breed, the former Mayor.

 Ever heard of an attorney running an Enterprise Department that deals with infrastructure, miles of pipes carrying clean water, and treatment plants - with engineers dealing with the operations and an attorney pretending to know it all?

 We should have qualified engineers who understand infrastructure and engineering; only in corrupt San Francisco is a person unfit permitted to supervise engineers and other experts that an attorney cannot.

In four months, you will see a stalemate - that has never been seen in San Francisco - the SFPUC - too many corrupt folks - gad flies falling from the wall. 

In the meantime, the few advocates left will take a stand, uplift those who need help most, and do good actions, not vain talk.

We still have a few stellar advocates who can speak with authority - have empirical data - blessed - we speak Truth to Power. Aho.
