Health Inspections
Re “The Dirty Kitchens in the County’s Health Department,” Opinion, Dec 7:
As a Department of Health Services inspector it comes as no surprise to me and my co-workers that the mismanagement of our department has finally come to light. We were directed to make more inspections than we could possibly perform properly, because numbers were more important to management than quality work. Numerous policy violations by management were ignored. There is a firmly established old-boys network that is both inefficient and takes care of its own.
