Any test result not back in three days is useless. 9 days is worse than useless.
How would San Mateo County Officials not know the daily turn around time, How are they not auditing those results daily.
Why would San Mateo County Officials allow a vendor to provide a service without a contract?
Deputy County Manager Justin Mates noted Virus Geeks is not a county contracted vendor and is therefore not overseen by the county or beholden to the county’s standards. There lies the problem get rid of them.
San Mateo County Event Center first $10M PPE now 9 days to get test results and Government didn’t know.
Before any more crimes are committed, I recommend the San Mateo County Supervisors contact James Brown, let him know you are sorry for the mix up, that whoever gave him the $10,000,000 of PPE did not have the authority to do so. Offer him $10,000 for his time and thank him for volunteering in the first place. San Mateo County should be distributing this PPE it’s in Geat Condition. Get it to the people in San Mateo County.

“We are working hard on getting this into the hands of organizations and groups that need it. Fortunately most of it is in Great condition, vacuum sealed in plastic and only the outer card board was damaged in many cases. Also there was quite a bit stored indoors.“
Why James Brown? isn’t there one employee in San Mateo County who has the capability and skill set to distribute the $9,000,000 of PPE that is in GREAT CONDITION according to him. It should be distributed to San Mateo County period.
If it’s in great condition today January 20, 2022 just think it must have been in great or perfect condition from the time SMC took possession of it, which to this still remains unknown.
When did SMC get this $10M of PPE?
Was it one shipment? what dates? Who signed for it?
Why didn’t SMC distribute it right after they got it?
Why doesn’t San Mateo County distribute it today?
It was No Mistake that this $10M PPE was left outside, It was ordered to be moved outside, part of the plan.
San Mateo Event Center Manager DANA STOEHR: “It’s, it was fully taken care of exactly the way it should have been.”
On Thursday January 13, 2022 ABC 7 Investigative Reporter Dan Noyes interviewed Supervisor David Canepa about the More than $10,000,000.00 of PPE left outside the San Mateo County Event Center for several months unprotected.
San Mateo County Supervisor David Canepa told the I-Team, “It’s because of your investigation, because of your investigation, that we have to acknowledge that we made a mistake. And the public needs to know that a mistake was made.” Looks like it wasn’t a mistake, now what?
San Mateo County Event Center Manager DANA STOEHR: “It’s, it was fully taken care of exactly the way it should have been.”
Mike Callagy is San Mateo County Manager. He is trained how Not to answer a simple question.
DAN NOYES: “Can you give me an idea of the amount of money we’re talking?”
MIKE CALLAGY: “I don’t know. There’s a lot of PPE out there.”
Mike Callagy told us he didn’t know about all that PPE that’s been deteriorating outside for months until I called. He immediately ordered county workers to bring the supplies back inside, to run an inventory and see how much of it is salvageable.
A source tells the I-Team a convoy of garbage trucks filled up with brand new PPE and took it to the dump, in the past two months — a massive waste of your tax dollars that the county promises won’t happen again.
Who ordered the “convoy of garbage trucks” What date or dates did that occur? What evidence is there that the trucks made it to the Dump.
These interviews took place on January 13, 2022. At 6:00 P.M. the same day James Brown of the Wine Country Marines announces on their Facebook page that San Mateo County Department of Emergency Management just gave him a boatload of PPE. That announcement was made 12 minutes before the ABC 7 I Team’s report was made public. That is Warp Speed in my opinion.
Stop any more of the PPE from leaving the SMC Convention Center right this minute.
This is the James Brown who was just given $10M of PPE
These photos by Mark De Paula were taken Sunday January 16, 2022
I see “$10M CASH” of “federal taxpayer dollar purchased productions” I don’t see a big mess, I don’t see “Surplus”
Money Laundering was the first thought that came to my mind, when I read and watched ABC 7 News report.
This is from ABC 7 Investigative Reporter Dan Noyes who first reported this Thursday January 13, 2022 at 6:12 P.M.
“We don’t want anybody to take this and put it on eBay because that’s in essence money laundering, you’re taking federal taxpayer dollar purchased productions and you’re turning it into cash for you,” Brown said, continuing, “We’re not going to allow that, but what we do want to do is get this into the hands of any organization that serves the community. If you’re out there serving the homeless or doing a food kitchen or a shelter, if you’re treating patients, any of that.”
Who in San Mateo County Government gave James Brown the $10,000,000 of PPE aka federal taxpayer dollar purchased productions?
This action happened before January 13, 2022 at 6:00 P.M. When Wine Country Marines Facebook page said
Large Donation of PPE Updated: 2 days ago
The Wine Country Marines are excited to announce a partnership with the San Mateo County Department of Emergency Management. Specifically, the County DEM has graciously donated to the Wine Country Marines a very large supply of excess inventory of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) that they were provided by FEMA, to be shared with the community at large.
So James Brown (whoever he is) announced San Mateo County Graciously Donated to the (Wine Country Marines) whoever they are the $10,000,000.00 of PPE. 12 minutes before Dan Noyes reported the story.
First let me start by saying I have the Highest Regard for the United States Marine Corps. Sgt. Norman S. Stogner and Emily Greer Stogner, My aunt and uncle were one of the first couples married in Hawaii in their Marine Uniforms on April 14, 1945. They are both laid to rest at Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno, San Mateo County. Plots S 1195 & 1196.
I am asking you to Stop and Pause any further actions regarding the reported $10,000,000 of PPE that was first reported by ABC Investigative Reporter Dan Noyes on January 13, 2022. I noticed your Facebook page dated January 13, 2022 at 6:00PM titled Large Donation of PPE, Please notify all non-profits and organizations that could use PPE to serve their citizens in the community.
This has happened so fast, and that is one of the reasons I’m respectfully requesting a Stop and Pause.
The other is this PPE is not surplus, it should have been distributed to San Mateo County Nurses, Doctors, Hospitals, Nursing Homes etc. or if not needed there Santa Clara County right next door to San Mateo County has just made an emergency request for PPE.
Thank You for considering my request, I have also asked A.G. Rob Bonta to stop this until this can be sorted out.
The veterans’ advocacy group will be giving it all away to qualified groups on January 25 by appointment only. That’s 9 days from now.

Dan Noyes Investigative Reporter for ABC 7 reported on Thursday January 13, 2022 that $10M of PPE was moved outside of a secure location at the San Mateo County Convention Center. The reason given for the move was to use that space for a really cool convention held in September. They NEVER moved the PPE back inside it remained outside for more than 3 months. But here is what San Mateo County Manager Mike Callagy did do right after Dan Noyes report went public, He gave away the $10M of PPE, to the Wine County Marines. WHY so FAST? and WHY them?
Think about that, most Residents of San Mateo County didn’t know anything about Dan Noyes’s report 3 days ago. James Brown sure did, Mike Callagy sure did.
What date and time did County Manager Mike Callagy give the $10M PPE away?
The Wine Country Marines are excited to announce a partnership with the San Mateo County Department of Emergency Management. Specifically, the County DEM has graciously donated to the Wine Country Marines a very large supply of excess inventory of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) that they were provided by FEMA, to be shared with the community at large.
Wine Country Marines will distribute these to organizations in need on January 25th. Appointment required.
This generous donation consists of surgical gowns that conform to YY/T0506.2-2016 industry standards, head to toe isolation gowns with anti-static properties, vented goggles, face shields also with anti-static properties, 1 gallon bottles of bleech, commercial mop buckets, and mop handles.
The isolation gowns are great for any organization or non-profit that serves at risk community members such as homeless, ill, or others such as patients receiving booster or vaccination shots or applying for benefits or services.
The surgical gowns are great for any organization or non-profit that performs medical services where bodily fluids are collected or exposed.
The goggles provide complete protection of the eye, and are vented to prevent fogging.
The mops, mop buckets and bleech require no explanation, but are shown in the photos below for reference.
If your organization would like some of these products to aid in your mission to serve the community, please RSVP at the following link:
The Residents, Elected Officials and Candidates are fine with that.
Most recently San Mateo County Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos, SMCSO Captain Christina Corpus, and Retired Sgt. Jeffrey Kearnan Investigated the Sheriff’s Activity League Embezzlement and Money Laundering that involved several people and hundreds of thousands of dollars.

San Mateo County News.com is going on the record to say that San Mateo County Manager Mike Callagy is the last person that should be involved in the Investigation of the reported $10,000,000 of Personal Protective Equipment PPE that was stored outside on the San Mateo County Event Centers property for more than three months. County Manager Mike Callagy is RESPONSIBLE.
A reasonable person would would know “He can not Investigate Himself” but don’t forget this is San Mateo County where the residents are fine with the Conflict of Interest, and “Those Who Matter.”
Congresswoman Jackie Speier said the Obvious. “It has to be investigated.”
What she did not say is by who?
So for now it’s early since this story was reported by Dan Noyes, the amount is $10,000,000.
It involves Federal Money.
It involves PPE not cleaning supplies.
It involves Brand New PPE not Surplus.
The cause of this damage is Negligence, Not California Rain.
Excellent reporting by Dan Noyes, How many San Mateo County Officials and Employees knew about this and did nothing about it. Hopefully some of it can be saved. How did Dan Noyes get access to walk around and video all of the damaged boxes. I’m glad he did, it demonstrates a lack or Security by SMC. Also a big Thank You to the person who reported this. This was not a Mistake.
SMC County Manager Mike Callagy
The County Manager’s Office is responsible for the efficient day-to-day operations of San Mateo County’s government and carries out the vision and policies set by the Board of Supervisors.
Today December 22, 2021 Courtroom 8B at 9:00AM Hon. Judge Chinhayi C. Cadet for Arraignment
SMCCCD Vice Chancellor Jose D. Nunez has been charged with 15 Felony counts, including Embezzlement and PERJURY. He has not been arrested yet. Why? also PER DA AND DEFENDANT’S ATTORNEY’S REQUEST. NTA MAY NOT REACH DEFENDANT IN TIME. NTA= Notice to appear, Mr. Nunez might not even know he has been invited to show up in court today. Very casual for a 2.5 year Criminal Investigation. How much did the 2.5 year Investigation cost SMC Taxpayer? Lets compare that to the final outcome of this case, which will most likely never get to a Jury Trial.
Just because a person is criminally charged with a crime in San Mateo County doesn’t mean that he or she is guilty. Look no further than Sheriff Deputy Juan P. Lopez case NF433910A or the Sheriff Activities League (SAL) Embezzlement and Money Laundering case.
The Public is invited to attend in person by Hon. Judge Leland Davis III. Up until November 22, 2021 the public which includes reporters were able to Listen to the Hearing by calling this number 503-300-6847 Code 438807. Remember there is a Pandemic in the world including San Mateo County.
Public Access Policy Updated 11/22/21 – The listen-only public access lines are no longer in effect; proceedings are open to the public to attend in person.
I have recommended a Single Point Data Base to San Mateo County Government (SUPERVISORS) for 20 years. Just think how much time and money it would have saved if it caught the alleged Felony on 3/4/2009. Also it would be helpful if the District Attorney’s Office charge all people equally, for example if a Judge, a court clerk, and a court reporter committed a Felony, it would go a long way for Public Trust if they were arrested, charged, and prosecuted. Here are the current charges in the Nunez case.

Judicial Officer(s) Greenberg, Susan, Southern Superior Court Review, –Hearing Time1:30 PMComment and To Set Prelim
I don’t remember the exact date when I first met Therese Dyer but I do remember where it was. It was in line to enter the 400 County Center Building in Redwood City, California where we both were going to speak to the Board of Supervisors of San Mateo County during the two minute Public Comment.
I remember thinking, The Five Supervisors and their Staff should meet with Therese right away and get to the bottom of this subject matter she just reported to them, Corruption in San Mateo County, specifically in the District Attorney’s Office, The Courts, The Investigators etc. Most reasonable thinking residents would want the Supervisors to look into this to find out if her statements were true and accurate, and if they were too FIX IT.
I knew Therese was a Veteran, and had served on the San Mateo County Grand Jury.
It was at that BOS Meeting that I thought a simple fix would be for the Supervisors to set up a Public Data Base where all Notifications of wrong doing by San Mateo County Employees/Elected Officials could be filed. As anyone who has ever taken the time and energy to go to a BOS Meeting on a Tuesday morning at 9:00 AM to have the opportunity to Inform the Supervisors of Criminal behavior or other serious subjects knows, 2 minutes goes by pretty fast, and you might be a little nervous. Most likely you can not come close to saying everything you want to say.
I remember being so nervous before I made Public Comment to the Supervisors of SMC, reporting Corruption of some Law Enforcement Employees, and every time I spoke the Supervisors would say “Thank You, Mr. Stogner for your comments.” I became more comfortable once I realized that they couldn’t care less about the Corruption.
A Public Data Base however would allow you to state everything, Names, dates, allegations etc. The other benefit is that information would be Public.
I can say this about Therese Dyer, for the last 20 years that I am aware of, She has been doing her very best to inform the Residents of San Mateo County of the Corruption in the Government.
