SILVER ! Truck . Are you connecting the dots ?


He was testing the hydrants. No Palisades redo for this drunk. No sir.


CCN- please post the alleged drunk driver’s name. The taxpayers would like to know how our money was used for clean-up and emergency services.


If you really want to know his name, check the booking log at the jail but you’ll also need the names of the responders since they are part of the clean up and use our money.


Alot of drunk drivers in SLO.
