More than $10M worth of masks, protective gear left in the rain outside Bay Area event center

10 million dollars could have gone to roads, schools food banks, etc.

Completely outrageous, people should be fired for letting this happen.

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...

You NEVER put medical equipment outside. Whoever made that decision needs to get canned.

The fact that she became defensive and stuttered once she found out she was being filmed says it all.

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

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.

That CEO is the first one that needs to be held accountable. No excuse for her dereliction.

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." 😂😂

If stealing $1 can land you in jail, letting $10M gone to waste should put every single person who is involved in prison.

This level of incompetence from the government is inexcusable, someone needs to be held accountable for all this waste

Leaving all those boxes outside actually made San Francisco look better.

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.

They should be held accountable and pay these out of their own pockets

That woman, CEO of the Event Center, that drove up should lose her job, as well as the County Manager. Allowing over $$$ 10 Million worth of inventory... that the local taxpayers had to shell their own money out for is NOT acceptable. Those two people alone are making big wages to do their jobs, and they failed miserably. If I lived there and paid their salaries and the costs of stuff like this, I'd be incredibly pissed. What a freakin' mess. $10Million. Don't let them off the hook!!

That is just absolutely ridiculous. Someone needs to be held accountable!!

Thank you for the first case of real journalism I’ve seen in ten years!!
