San Mateo County residents...BEWARE,,,as the elected county officials care less for your public health and safety!!

I was working in South San Francisco, in San Mateo County, for SFOAirporter bus company, and complained to the county board of supervisors and the County Manager and the Environmental Health Department that this company was dumping raw bus toilet sewage across it's parking lot and into a storm drain to the SF Bay. And we lowly employees were forced to walk through feces and toilet paper for weeks. The official San Mateo County Environmental Health Department response was that they could not come out to look at it until after work and they could not get the overtime approved,so that no matter how many times i phoned and pleaded, they said they could not come out to verify or act on this pollution. All the cities of San Mateo County, from the poorest to the richest of "Atherton" and "Palo Alto" and "Hillsborough" are affected by this general county-wide disregard for pubic health so that one superrich family can get richer.
There is no excuse for their derilection of duty to all San Mateo County residents !! It took weeks,and near fatal illness, before the obscure storm drain- county people came out and verified it, but covered up for the company again by not taking pictures to fully document this general public health fiasco !! There is so much excessive wealth in this and SF county and yet there is this stupid dumb indefensible behavior by our elected county officals that puts all of us,all of us, at risk. A super expensive zip code will offer you little protection from any future public communicable disease. Please urge your elected officials to be more responsible. And let's replace the officials who persist in putting one small companies gross gross profit over all our basic human health and environmental health. Thank you.
