The Intrepid Brotherhood

Deep corruption threatened to ruin jobs and harm lives. Intimidation, distrust, and secrecy became

the norm among the executive management group of Chelan County Public Utility District.

Even in a small and semirural American government, corrupt leaders aren’t simply dishonest and immoral.

They’re dangerous.

A board of directors should hold wrongdoers accountable, but sometimes that responsibility falls to

righteous employees. A riveting and relevant memoir, The Intrepid Brotherhood details a classic story

of enlightened leaders’ war against oppressive management when private misconduct evokes public

resistance.

A multimillion-dollar project had the potential to transform the PUD’s business management. Instead, it

ended in management conflict and Gordon’s discharge. His determination for justice revealed a culture of

sinister practices and problems that would cost more than the company’s reputation. Despite economic

upheaval, career interruption, and near criminal mistreatment, he and the whistleblowers of Chelan

County PUD stood up for the professional values lost along the way.

Control and power can corrupt even the most ethical organization’s integrity—unless someone speaks up.
