Animals, police chiefs and Royal Coaches II

Just to add to reporter Tania Chatila's post about Royal Coaches, that's a towing company that comes up on our radar every so often. It also donated to every candidate in the West Covina council election in November, for a total of $4,000. This was the breakdown as of election time:

To the winners of the election:
Councilman Steve Herfert: $1,000
Councilman Roger Hernandez: $1,000 (plus $500 more from the owner, not from the business)

To the other candidates:
Karin Armbrust: $500
Rob Sotelo: $500
Fred Sykes: $250
John Scheuplein: $250

Interesting side note: If memory serves, the Trib has a sign in the back parking lot that says Royal Coaches will tow people parking illegally.
