We don't yet know that other companies weren't treated with similar incompetence. While I'm skeptical of Zimmerman's actions here, and am inclined to believe that there is apparent corruption, that does not mitigate that corruption has not been shown to be apparent... yet. It's neither impossible nor unlikely that there are dozens of other companies working with similarly expired licenses, or under similar states of neglect. (Note, this is speculative. I don't honestly even know if the forest service has any others extracting water from them, so I could be totally off-base, but as bad as this looks, it's worth reserving judgement for something less circumstantial.)
