Shred We Must

They must be singing “Roll Out The Dumpster” up on the ninth floor at the Westchester County Office Building where the Andy Spano team is coming to terms with Tuesday’s stunning results in the county executive’s race.
One of my spies tells me they’re busy emptying desks and file cabinets and shredding documents like mad.
My informant tells me that when he came to work today on the eighth floor, where the county legislators roam, there was a “huge rolling garbage bin” filled to the brim with papers. The janitor told him the garbage was from the floor above—Spano’s domain—and that there was more to come.
Gee, I wonder if they brought in the county shredmobile for this major operation. (at left)
But here’s a more serious question: How much of that stuff was sensitive material not meant for scrutiny by the prying, public eye? If you want to see it, you’ll probably have to go down to the Canyon of Heroes today and sift through the confetti.

Hmm. First time I didn’t get a phone call directly from Andy telling me that the shredder was in operation.
Maybe the Journal News should get a FOIL request in immediately and ask a judge for an injunction to cease all the shredding. I’d love to know what Andy is hiding.
