CBS2-Investigative Report of LADWP

[RcNeoClan]

OMG What a stupid reporter!!!! LADWP is not funded by tax money. Do your research before making a report defaming many employes who dont follow follow the poor choices of a few bad employes.

[sowig]

nothing would happen if u would have done that in germany...

btw this report is so silly and unimportant and took 7 minutes ?

A report of this kind would not take longer than 45 secs in germany hell this is crazy ^^

So drinkin' tall Bud's then climbing high voltage poles is cool.

[chango316]

These dudes risks there lives when they work on the poles and work crazy hours once the rain goes away, nobody talks about that, i dont see what the big deal is, plus they were doing nothin cus it was rainin its not like it rains everyday in LA.

[1pollo1rabbit]

@chango316 Let's face it these guys were in the wrong and should be fired.Hire someone that will take care of business instead of goofing around.For the amount of money they earn they should be on the poles 10hrs a day.Lazy fucks.

[chewbacca0901]

This is exactly why we need the government out of EVERYTHING! Imagine them running our hospitals!!!

[bertly71]

Your tax dollars at work.

[bertly71]

@battleship62 OK, then your utility bill dollars hard at work.

[XlancerTHEgreat1]

@battleship62 It's the same thing as tax dollars because no one is allowed to compete against them and the city controls its board.

[XlancerTHEgreat1]

@battleship62 Or I could start my own company the provides better services at a lower cost, oh wait, nevermind. The city will just come in and close me down, and probably claim all of my business' property for their monopoly...

[Mr5083]

I dont blame these men, they must have a supervisor who lets them run wild, thats the person who schould be fired, this stuff goes on all over, give these men a full days work and a supervisor to stay on top of them thruout the shift, and lets move on.

To all the morons in California: Wake Up, city and public union employees on average earn more than private sector employees. Add in exorbitant benefits and its no surprise that California s heading down the same road as Greece. Debt default and bankruptcy.

[battleship62]

@morfeeene amazing how the news guy doesnt call the cops time and time again after seeing these guys drinking and driving. so it must not be that dangerous? GET THE STORY EVEN AT THE EXPENSE OF PUBLIC SAFETY ,NEWS PEOPLE u are as guilty as the drinkers and are accessory to the crime.

[lbsrfr999]

These screw-ups will never find a job paying that kinda money again, These dumb asses hit the job-lotto and blew it. This is a result of affirmative action and unions run amok.

[battleship62]

@lbsrfr999 obviously u know nothing about how easy it is to get a lineman job when u have a journeyman lineman ticket.

[1pollo1rabbit]

@lbsrfr999 I agree.DWP employees are overpaid.Half of them are dumbasses that ,like you said,hit the job lotto.There are very few DWP employees that are actually worth what they're paid.These guys are gonna be flipping burgers now.Pendejos.

[jmkord]

The majority of the funding is collected from payments of customers' utility bills, not through taxes as continually stated in this video.

[TAJprincess]

@jmkord

That is not stated at all here, it is only inferred (for the ignorant and the instigators) that LADWP customers are also tax payers. The LADWP is one of the city's three proprietary departments-- the other two are the harbor department and the airport.

[djdannybrizown]

Dinking on the job and going to strip clubs is nothing new. BUT NEVER LEAVE A MAN BEHIND! that pisses me off

[jimmorrison345]

@djdannybrizown that pisses me off too....but drinking on the job is over for you!

[justcallmesoldamnyou]

This is disgusting. All these guys need to be fired IMMEDIATELY. I'm surprised our mayor didn't schrug it off as "racism." And the commentor who says Goldstein''s gonna get killed because of this shows just how despicable latinos can be. There's a reason the AZ is passing an anti-immigrant law.

[USMarineMC]

@justcallmesoldamnyou Dude you're an idiot! How do you know that the commentor is Latino?

BTW the DWP workers are black and white too.

[jrny99]

there were no liquor stores right after the riots in so. central...just the sign sayin "LIQUOR STORE". sad.

[mikertones]
