South County Sanitation District report mars John Wallace’s character

In my life, I have seen that there are usually two sides to every story — and to every dispute. I also know that confidentiality around personnel issues can hinder a business owner’s ability to defend oneself.

In the case of John Wallace and the South County Sanitation District, the report commissioned by the district appears to have been put together without following up on all of the facts and as a result includes incorrect information and hearsay. This unverified report is then being used to damage the character of a man I have grown to respect greatly over 30 years as well as his team at The Wallace Group, who have done great work throughout the Central Coast.

In a situation like this, I feel it is important to express my full support for John Wallace and his team.
