Trash hauler alleges illegal political solicitations in Gardena

Interference is alleged in lawsuit that includes charges that councilman sought illegal donations.
Gardena City Councilman Oscar Medrano solicited campaign contributions from the city's commercial trash hauler, in apparent violation of city law, according to a lawsuit filed Monday.

The suit also alleges that Medrano wanted his campaign fliers to be included in city trash bills, which would also be illegal.

The allegations arise from a deepening dispute between Gardena's two rival haulers.
