Portland Mayor and Police Chief's garbage rummaged



Check out the typo-riddled KGW story HERE.

Apparently, two Willamette Week reporters searched the trash receptacles of District Attorney Mike Schrunk, Police Chief Mark Kroeker, and Mayor Vera Katz. After a police search of officer Gina Hoesly's trash turned up evidence that had to be thrown out (again, I guess), the District Attorney's office planned to appeal the ruling stating that citizens give up their right to privacy when they put their trash on the curb for pickup (see logs from 12/10 below). Willamette Week reporters Chris Lydgate and Nick Budnick wanted to ask the city officials "how they like it," I guess.

I bought one of those "Clappers" and plugged my TV into it. Unfortunately, now, whenever a Clapper television commercial comes on, my TV turns off.
