Opinion: The Mismanagement and Neglect of Olmos Creek
Passing the buck is the only action that has been done at Olmos Creek, by a variety of bureaucrats. On October 11th, our pleas began, and as of December 12th, nothing has been done. In addition to the lack of immediate clean-up, there is no long-term maintenance plan to keep Olmos Creek clean, no long-term plan to solve the problem of the debris that flows into Olmos Creek at Jones Maltsberger, and no government entity that wants to accept responsibility.
