Quote:
And since apparently you won't turn a blind eye to bad conduct, have you ever witnessed corruption in state regulatory agencies related to your line of work? Did you report it?
Yes. And I’ve had a target on my back because of it for quite some time. I have a person very high up the chain at a large state agency who wants to put me out of business and has taken actions to do just that on numerous occasions. I have one county agency (the she used to work for) who is doing the same.
In 2 weeks I am being deposed by an attorney for a fuel distributor company and I’m going to testify that based on what I witnessed at a particular site that what is written on an inspection report from a county employee cannot be true.
That county employee will be sitting in the room when I do it.
I will also have to perform future tank inspection with that county employee as the on site representative form the regulating agency. This is in yet another county.
I am, literally, an enemy of the state.
I do these things because I am on the right side legally and morally. I do this because my own house is clean and I do what’s right even when nobody is looking.
Civilize the mind, but make savage the body.
