SAN FRANCISCO (CN) Federal prospectors charged a trash company boss on Thursday with bribing the former head of San Francisco’s public works department to get him to sign off on higher garbage collection rates from the city.
As vice president of waste management company Recology until this past January, John Porter helped funnel a stream of benefits worth more than $1 million to curry favor with Mohammed Nuru, who ran the Department of Public Works as his own personal fiefdom until his arrest in 2020.
“Mohammed is the director of the DPW who ultimately signs off on our rates. Needless to say, keeping him happy is important,” Porter said in an email to a colleague in 2015 as the company negotiated for rate increases for residential garbage collection, according to federal prosecutors.
