Waste and fraud in SLO County seems never ending.
How much more will we tolerate?

I have always wondered how the City of SLO was able to legally hire Tenborg’s company, Eco Solutions, for work performed in connection with homeless camp cleanup when that type of work requires a state contractors license, which Tenborg didn’t have at the time, nor does he have one now. Payment of prevailing wage and certified payroll was required to be paid to the employees who were onsite doing the work. I wonder what the statute of limitations is for unpaid wages/benefits on public works jobs…

In reply to horse_soldier. Don't hold your breath. They are probably in communication with the agency on if and when they need to release a spin. They will wait until the last minute, and if that minute never comes they will bury it. Then someone will owing The Tribune's failing public relations business model a favor.

In reply to scoopone. True dat. And this agency, like the water board and APCD are completely independent from county oversight. They impose fees, implement new programs and hire more staff as they wish. This is why they are paid more than any other government employees; physicians, engineers, the governor and other elected officers not to mention the many others who work hard and answer to the public. It is ridiculous, even if you support more stringent government regulation this is fraud and scam. He will probably negotiate an exit agreement that will bring him more taxpayer dollars for doing nothing.

The Tribune has a policy of not printing just about everything that appears on CCN. It they publish this, it will be buried in the sports section.

Based on what Cal Coast Times Staff just presented in this first of a multi-series, it seems obvious the Integrated Waste Management Authority (IWMA) is a department / branch of SLO County government that criminally squanders taxpayer dollars. This IWMA fiasco is just another example of local government run amok. Trim it down. Remove the pork. Do more with less. Flat out wrong and so deplorable.

Still less than John Wallace stole from South County Sanitation ratepayers and Wallace got nothing but a slap on the wrist so we have little hope anything with happen here, especially if we look for Dan Dow to do anything.
