DMB Bus Driver Gets Fine and Probation for Tank Dumping
Last year Stefan Wohl, a Dave Matthews Band tour bus driver dumped his holding tanks crossing a bridge drenching a party boat below with 800 lbs of raw sewage. He gets a US$10,000 fine, 18 months probation and he’ll likely lose his gig because of the poor judgement. Additionally, the Illinois AG has filed a US$70,000 lawsuit against the driver and the band. Several others, including The boat company’s parent, Mercury Skyline Yacht Charters Inc. have filed civil suits. if the band gets out of this for less than a million bucks, I’ll be surprised. They’ve already contributed US$100,000 to a couple of Chicago based conservation groups. Full story at Crain’s Chicago Business Daily.
