Looks Like the City of Oakley and Contra Costa County has a problem in the Big Break Marina Area

Looks like several boaters have sunk their boats in the area of Big Break, Just north east of the

entrance to the Big break marina it self . After repeated letters and complaints to goverment officials

such as the Mayor Of Oakey Mrs. Carol Rios was notified about the submerged pilings and other

underwater hazards and did nothing to prevent further injuries on Aug 7th 2008 two boaters hit

these hazards and were almost killed going threw the winshield of their boat and nearly escaped

death, on Aug 10th 2009 another family from out of town also hit the same object and was saved by

the Us Coast Guard, then just after the letter sent to the City of Oakley another boater hit the same

objects and lost his boat pulled to saftey by a passing boater on Labor Day weekend 2009 .


Just how many victims are their that hit the same underwater hazards at Big Break, ? My investgation

has uncovered (7 ) and the numbers are on the rise why will no won address this problem according to

The Us Coast Guard Legal Department the water ways with the hazards do belong to the City Of Oakley

and Contra Costa County So what are they waiting for maybe another injury or death .


I think the city of Oakley And the Contra Costa county both goverment agencies should be charged

criminaly for turning thier back on a known Hazard s, I see here that a group of people are taking

legal steps and seeking compensation for their loss against the City Of Oakley .


Sad to Say our City Officials have once again let us down .


I found this floating around on the net :
