Quote of the week

During Monday’s La Verne City Council meeting, dozens of angry residents made several heated comments against an aggressive plan to expand Lutheran High School.
Among their complaints — namely traffic, parking and noise — at least one woman said she was concerned with construction site security, if the project ever got that far.

Here’s how resident and Lutheran supporter Sal DeGrassi responded:
“Come on guys. These people are worried about burglars hotwiring a forklift? I didn’t hear people complaining when the freeway was going in. There is going to be dirt, there is going to be dust, yes. We’ll deal with it.”

Hmmm, I wonder how much a forklift is worth in the black market anyway?
