San Dimas : Postal News Racks Moved

At least 17 news racks were moved away from the San Dimas Post Office’s entrance on Bonita Avenue because of numerous complaints from customers, a postal service official said.

Office Supervisor Bill Munoz said that, over the last three months, at least two customers a day had complained about the growing number of news racks, especially ones containing sexually explicit materials.

Last Wednesday, postal workers removed all the racks from the property and put them out on the sidewalk, he said.

A local high school student, Randy Wiser, 16, last month unsuccessfully attempted to persuade the City Council to bar news rack owners from displaying erotic material at the post office. The council, however, did ask the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department to investigate. That investigation is incomplete.
