Malcolm said, it was really his fault and he would take care of the problem. Tom Bills asked, Malcolm, if he found out about safety strip lighting to go on the cabs of the Corporation vehicles. Malcolm said, the 1T must be equipped with safety lighting and he has ordered the strip lighting for all the vehicles. Also, Malcolm stated, we had a bad water sample, due to employee error.
