In my college life, I was a Cal Poly journalism major. I still tend to use a journalistic eye as I was taught to confirm the facts with multiple sources, and to get both sides of the story.

When I heard that the South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District accepted an “investigative report” critical of John Wallace and that they only got one side of the story, I was shocked. So, no one from Knudson and Associates asked any Wallace Group people about any of this? They were paid $91,000 for a one-sided, half-done report? That doesn’t sound like the investigation that the district asked for; it sounds like a witch hunt.
