In memory of Vicki and Duane Bridgewater.
Duane Bridgewater was assigned to supervise me, Untrained and unlicensed operator Tiffany Anderson trained in Linden from April to December. Zone 8 vacant Brian Heine out. 2005 Tammy Scott was fired. Scott seniority relocated me to the islands for 2.5 years.
Norm Hopkins untrained and unlicensed operator Norm Hopkins assigned to Escalon Supervisor Greenmeyer. 2004 Bob Durham transferred to Stockton in 2005 Janine 19, Tom Beard 18, Morgan Bennett 17, Roy Ripon
Bob’s crew was not denied resources like Duane was.
This blog is about my employment at San Joaquin County Mosquito and Vector Control District as a California Licensed Pesticide Applicator and the evidence I have indexed of how much this agency does not care about the publics health.

Greetings I’m truly thankful for your integrity. Some of the things you’re speaking of I’m involved with. I’m battling a corporate giant who owns the insurance that my WC claim is with. The abuse these people exercised with litigations, delays of treatment, collusion with representation has caused me to have permanent disabilities for life at a 100% status. They even used someone else’s medical records n put my name n case on them for the agreed QME’s Its disgusting and unethical.
I appreciate the reply. This was a lot of work. My boss told me to document everything because they lie. I did this blog to honor my deceased supervisor and his wife who committed suicide. They gave themselves to the public and the employees. There is not much hope for the injured worker. But if we are vocal and share our stories change may be possible for the future. I am sorry for what you must be going through. The insurance carriers play tricks and games. It’s unfortunate they have to bully a person when they are in need of medical care. Good luck.
Janine and Bob deserve each other…from rob finley…oya remember when u said I was a coward for not killing myself even though you said u loved me and would never keep my kids from me and that you and Bob were not having an affair…janine is not who everyone thinks she is she took everything from me and does it with a smile….from robert finley
Wow Robert it’s been along while since we spoke. In fact it was in 2008 after your wife was sleeping with her boss and reassigned to be mine to protect the two instead of the 25 employees. I wasn’t allowed to talk to Bob or denied all safety measures in place I had with my previous supervisor. My job zone was 9 the delta wetlands, duck clubs and islands. Infamous for illegal pot grows Bob was sending me alone with no knowledge of his job or concern for my safety. In 2007 I was forced to report the my concerns in a complaint with their risk management. My safety, my co workers and the environment were more important, on top of the daily hostilities and jealousy treatment I endured by Janine was not acceptable. You would think if your whole work environment was in litigations and every coworker had to change their assignments because of your actions -Janine and Bob-you would do everything in your power to humble yourself and stop your behavior that is costing more than your daily appearance. That wasn’t the case as we both know they were rewarded for co-conspiring with our manager for illegally spraying our ponds with formaldehyde and who knows what else.
Do you know this agency has been paying for litigations as a direct result of Bob and Janine since Don’s heart attack and assault in 2006 and continues still. This agency has millions in a surplus they received for West Nile Virus which my documents prove they had no interest in. In fact they are responsible for allowing mosquitoes to get out of control. So many employees have been injured as a result of the intentional negligence resulting from this workplace affair and the managers self insurance funding in a JPA Joint Power Authority where they hide these legal issues in their private MVCAC and other Ponzi schemes .
My boss died as a result of this agencies illegal spraying of formaldehyde and other products used in their White Slough shit ponds. My boss was taken from me and reassigned at the White Slough facility to accommodate their work place affair. This is called quid pro quo. Bob sprayed formaldehyde a prop 65 CA list known to cause cancer with strict regulations ignored for 7 years. He used the proper hazmat required PPE when the staff was intentionally removed to conceal the actions. He left in his protective gear and we were sent to work in the water. There were other unreported antagonists such as the heat from the waste water, Copper Sulfate to name a few. EPA and OSHA laws completely ignored for employees bleeding from their throats and mocked when they died about their eating habits. They took my bosses pension and his son has no parents or compensation for his father’s death or his mothers. You can bet I haven’t quit exposing the public to these abuses by this agency where having sex in your work truck gets you further than doing your assigned tasks of mosquito control as described in their mission statement.
I was fired in 2014 for two 2011 injuries requiring a third knee surgery and medical care from a doctor knowledgeable in exposures. To date my claims have been denied and open waiting for vectors production of my medical and payroll records they refuse to produce in full. Mosquitos, law compliance, pesticides, and record retentions are critical elements this agency is funded for and they are incapable of providing to the public and prioritizing their personal conflicts from their duty. They have used 5 law firms with me alone to accommodate their own stealing company time and resources from the tax payer. We know the same story Robert. It was a real travesty when The Grand Jury foreman Andel stopped the publishing and real findings after the 10th draft he forced to be re-written by Trudy Reed. District Attorney Scott Fichtner suppressed the criminal evidence and perjured himself in writing to EPA and OSHA while dropping all charges for my managers, you know the “good ol boys club”. Where public tax funding trumps ethics or public health. To bad they didn’t have the same loyalty for my boss and his wife Vicki who worked in the DA’s office as a secretary. Both true public servants. She committed suicide 5 years after her husband’s death in August 2014. I always question her death because it was the same day the defense gave me my first batch of discovery after stalling for 3 years. Vicki had the right to pursue an intentional negligence death suit for her husband and I told her I would help her. Needless to say the produced was void of the records requested. I buried my and my cousin all by December 2014. The county was sure to begin the foreclosure process and bury me in boxes of records. I moved 6 time from 2015-2017 while they hammered me with hearings and expensive QME appointments. When I call law firms for intakes they ask why did you wait did file your EEOC charge issued and I don’t know how to explain my employer is not in the mosquito, pesticide or public health business. Their business is not being handled honestly and in the public’s best interests and they use their millions in surplus to harm anyone who gets between them and their for profit tax funded enterprise. They can’t produce a simple payroll accounting but the back taxes on my 2 N Avena home they were happy to force me out of and on the streets has a 3 year backlog and they seem to know to the cent how much I owe them. Robert I am sorry because I know how much the lies, attacks and deception from these people have cost me.
