DNC apologizes for dumping raw sewage from bus in Gwinnett

Source: Atlanta Journal-Constitution

The Democratic National Committee issued an apology Tuesday after a bus it chartered was seen dumping raw sewage in Gwinnett County.

A DNC spokesperson called the unusual incident "an honest mistake."

"This was an honest mistake and we apologize to the Lawrenceville community for any harm we may have caused," the spokesperson said in an emailed statement. "We were unaware of any possible violations and have already taken corrective action with the charter bus company to prevent this from happening again. Furthermore, the DNC will work with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, as well as local and state officials to determine the best course of corrective action."

The incident happened around 9:30 a.m. in front of the O'Reilly Auto Parts store at 525 Grayson Highway in Lawrenceville.

I've never even set foot inside a RV and I know that the sewage tank has to be emptied in specific locations. A driver HIRED to do the job should KNOW what the laws are. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find that the driver is a Trump follower who wanted to give the Clinton campaign problems.

We've been waiting for the Trump campaign to start flinging poo - I think we're there.

...was responsible for that dumb action. S/he must've done it before to save time, get a longer break during a stop, probably save money as compared to using a designated, proper site.

i remember stories about how trains would just empty onto the tracks below and that is why you were not supposed to use the bathrooms when the train was in the station......

samantha b has been using her campaign bus off and on for her show.....a segment on this almost writes itself.....
scene 1 rushed on the road dinner from a greasy spoon of poor quality
scene 2 faces of anguish as the line forms for the bathroom on the bus
scene 3 brown plume trailing the bus as the tank empties
scene 4 getting pulled over and the cop slips and falls in it
scene 5 sam b calling the network lawyers from her jail cell

there it is
a segment already written and ready to film....i await the check
