Judge Warns Against Littering on Highways
County Judge John W. Bowen II warns that violators face stiff fines or jail. A first offense for Clark Bradley Thilyan, a garbage truck driver, yielded a $151 fine after pleading guilty on May 8. Bowen aims to make offenders pay cleanup costs and to deter highway littering countywide. Separately Cesar Chavez urges a new lettuce boycott to pressure growers to recognize the United Farm Workers union.
