You NEVER put medical equipment outside. Whoever made that decision needs to get canned.
-
10 million dollars could have gone to roads, schools food banks, etc.
-
Solid investigative journalism, straight no-bs questions being asked, and a county official that actually took responsibility.
-
Take "full responsibility" when there are no consequences...
-
Completely outrageous, people should be fired for letting this happen.
-
That CEO is the first one that needs to be held accountable. No excuse for her dereliction.
-
WE NEED MORE REAL REPORTERS LIKE DAN NOYES DOING A GREAT JOB THANK YOU DAN
-
This man that claimed the responsibility should be commended and he needs someone working closely with him and those kind of a shipments
-
This level of incompetence from the government is inexcusable, someone needs to be held accountable for all this waste
-
That woman who runs the event centre should bear a lot of the responsibility. And her attitude was quite shocking. To know all this life saving equipment was sitting outside and she did nothing???? She should definitely be one of those held accountable.

I would like to recieve some PPE for my people in Arizona. These things need to be utilized somehow instead of getting left in the rain.
-
The guy said it with so much pride," I'll let my boss know." šš
-
They should be held accountable and pay these out of their own pockets
-
The fact that she became defensive and stuttered once she found out she was being filmed says it all.

Coming from a smaller hospital we had pallets upon pallets dumped on us of mostly useless stuff. Gowns that weren't rated properly, goggles with bands that were so old they snapped when you put them on and so many dust masks. I guess it's there in a pinch, but not until that pinch. The biggest problem was where to put it all. We're renting shipping containers for items that are likely on their way to the landfill. Not sure who made a killing selling this "ppe" to the government, but it wasn't as valuable as they thought.
-
That is just absolutely ridiculous. Someone needs to be held accountable!!
-
The manager of the county and the nonprofit agency should be FIRED for such dereliction of duty in management of county/taxpayers assets .š
-
āCan you stop filming?ā āNO!ā Good job sir! Thereās at least one real journalist left. Never stop.
-
Leaving all those boxes outside actually made San Francisco look better.

The audacity of these people in charge are unfathomable. And I know no one is being charged or fired. Sad reality for the people in this county
