More Alvarez

A reader sent us this link to the FBI's press release regarding the charge against Xavier Alvarez, the Three Valleys Municipal Water District board member from Pomona who is alleged to have made false claims of being a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient.

The press release states that Alvarez could face up to a year in federal prison if convicted.

This link shows that Alvarez made the FBI's top ten stories of last week. See item number 7; the title uses the "lying" word.

The release also indicates that Alvarez's statements were made at the Three Valleys board meeting where he was introduced after being newly elected. This is slightly different from the news accounts which had reported the statement was made at the July 23rd Walnut Valley Water District meeting. It is possible, it occurs to us, that some government PR person doesn't really distinguish and divide 'twixt "Three Valleys" and "Walnut Valley".
