14 QUESTIONS FOR ST. AUGUSTINE BEACH COMMISSION CANDIDATE S. GARY SNODGRASS, RETIRED NUCLEAR POWERPLANT EXECUTIVE

Dear Mr. Snodgrass:

I have a few questions for you:

1. Why did you and Exelon (and predecessor companies) hire Wackenhut to guard nuclear powerplants?

2. Were you aware of Wackenhut’s history of violating whistleblower rights in Alaska, including the case of Chuck Hamel, whom Wackenhut and Alyeska paid $10 million over illegal surveillance and creating a phony environmental group to spy on whistleblowers?

3. Were you aware that Exelon’s plants had Wackenhut’s guards sleeping in the ready room?

4. Do you think that nuclear powerplant security guards should work twelve hour shifts, as they did at the Peach Bottom plants?

5. Why were guards working twelve-hour shifts at Exelon plants?

6. Did you take personal accountability for the sleeping guards?

7. If not, who did?

8. Did you leave Exelon because of the sleeping guard problem?

9. What are your thoughts about Exelon’s treatment of whistleblowers?

10. How did you “cut healthcare”?

11. How did you negotiate with unions?

12. Why did you cause allegedly misleading information to be distributed to employees, both union and management, that allegedly misled them about their pensions?

13. What agreements, understandings and relationships do you have with developers and speculators?

14. Why are you running for Commissioner based on your business record?

Sincerely,

Ed Slavin

Ed, did you get a response to these questions from Mayor Snodgrass.

Is he currently trying to retaliate against the whistle blowers at the police department now?

He is attempting to take their jobs away from the officers by Turing law enforcement over to the Sheriffs Office
