Don't rummage through Mike Touhey's garbage
This just in from reporter Dan Abendschein:
Speaking during a debate over a proposed weapons ordinance that would bar residents from carrying guns into city hall, West Covina Councilman Mike Touhey had a lot to say about council safety.
He mentioned that because of an incident where someone apparently poked through Councilman Steve Herfert's trash, he has had to take "extreme measures" to protect his property.
I am not sure what those measures might be, but it could be notable that Touhey voted against the weapons ordinance, citing his ideological opposition to gun control. His 'no' vote came after a long, and well-researched speech about the dangers of being a city employee or council member. He spoke about a recent Missouri incident where city employees were fired on during a council meeting, and several local incidents involving deranged people who made threats to West Covina council members.

I'd be afraid to go through any of their trash bins. Dirty diapers in Sanderson's trash, monster pizza boxes in Touhey's and probably Paul Bunyon-sized bottles of cologne in Hernadez's.
