I'm literally exercising my First Amendment right to express my hate for a person. He's loud and annoying and my mom and I hated him. It's literally just a loser year-old with Aspergers' opinion on another person. Calm down. Or are the only voices allowed here people that like him? I remember a crematorium that was emitting ashes with human remains onto a Lakeside neighborhood.

Many residents' complaints through the years to the County accomplished nothing, until Turko got on their case and put video on TV. The crematorium was shut down. Yes, Turko was brash and a showman, but also not someone that bad corporate players or politicians wanted to cross. As a side note, we were approached on that crematorium story but didn't have the deep pockets at the time to do all of the videography work, record searches, researching allegations of possible corruption etc.

Readers, if anyone out there would like to fund starting up a consumer affairs section with a dedicated consumer affairs journalist for East County Magazine, we would love to help pick up the slack left by Turko's absence. I did my share of consumer affairs reporting in the past for major newspapers and news websites. We don't have enough resources to followup all of the story leads we get, though we do as much investigative reporting as we can and have won awards for many of our investigative stories, such as tour series resulting in getting closed fire stations reopened during fire season.

I dream of having an angel philanthropist who would establish a well-funded invsetigative reporting fund, or consumer affairs reporting fund, or both so that we could take on more Turko-type stories in the future.

He and John Coleman are the most memorable news personalities from my time growing up. Que le vaya bien!
