They're the two utility crew workers that Channel 2 found drinking beer and patronizing a strip club while on the job. DWP GM Austin Beutner said the utility is still investigating other DWP workers shown on the CBS2 videotape. From the LAT:
Beutner said the agency asked the TV stations for help with its investigation but that they declined to divulge information about when and where the journalists observed the misconduct. Beutner said he was "disappointed" by their refusal to assist the probe.
Huh? Channel 2 is supposed to be helping the DWP out of its self-inflicted mess? I don't think so. He also said that a couple of rotten apples (or however many it turns out to be) shouldn't reflect the 10,000-person workforce.
