Costa Mesa Councilman Blames Unions For Vandalism At His House

http://latimesblogs.latimes.co…


A Costa Mesa councilman said on his Facebook page that he believes union supporters vandalized his home.

But a city spokesman later said Steve Mensinger does not plan to file a police report on the incident, which comes as the councilman and other city officials are making controversial cutbacks and layoffs at City Hall, according to the Daily Pilot.

“On a sad note of story that will not appear in the L.A. Times, our family was visited by a group of union supporters sometime last night,” Mensinger wrote in a status update.

In Claremont, a college professor spray-painted anti-semitic slurs on her own car to attract attention. Might we have another example right here?

Jennifer Muir, a spokeswoman for the Orange County Employees Assn., responded to Mensinger’s Facebook post by denying that the OCEA had anything to do with the vandalism of Mensinger’s property “These accusations are ludicrous,” Muir wrote in an e-mail to the Daily Pilot. “We would never do such a thing, and we would never condone it.”
