[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is on the Mayor - just like the crime wave in DC.

The executive branch of the District of Columbia should have addressed this manifestly unsafe flooding situation long ago.  And given their failure to do so, they should not have allowed this and other businesses to operate in an unsafe area.

This is a heartbreaking situation, and a heartbreaking failure by Mayor Bowser.[/quote]

The owner and the workers knew. Happened several times a year ago. But breaking a lease or closing because you can’t safely operate a business is too expensive, I guess.[/quote]

I used to work for the company as a trainer, sometimes at this facility. Store management made multiple recommendations DIRECTLY to the owner advising him to close the location for fear of injury or death caused by flooding. The recommendations came 6 months before the deadly flood.

He said “we can’t do that.” It was 100% based on expense. If Jacob Hensley had been willing to part with whatever money would have broken the lease, no dogs would have drowned.

The staff inside gave everything to save who they could, and at least 4 team members have taken medical leave to deal with the psychiatric damage the event caused. Many more flat out quit after getting zero support. The team universally blames Jacob Hensley.[/quote]
