SAN FRANCISCO- December 13, 2017 - Chief Administrative Law Judge Karen Valentia Clopton filed her whistleblowing complaint against the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) with the San Francisco Superior Court today. The action moves the case from the politically appointed State Personnel Board to the courtroom. The filing comes a week after both Jim Ruane, the Mayor of San Bruno, and State Senator Jerry Hill called for criminal charges against the CPUC for corruption and obstruction of justice involving the San Bruno explosion and recent wildfires that have ravaged California homes and lands. Click Here for Complete News Release.
In a city known for multiculturalism and social justice, Judge Karen Clopton had to Step Up and Step Out to Fight for Justice for Herself. Fighting for others for decades, Judge Clopton in September held news conference about a Whistle Blower's Lawsuit against the CA PUC.
