Yet More on Alvarez

This whole Alvarez thing at Three Valleys Municipal Water District just gets seamier and seamier. Allegations amounting to theft and fraud; allegations of spousal abuse; allegations of lying when he said he attended Cal Poly and received a degree. Even Norma Torres, Will Bigham reports, has pulled the plug--see here how the "endorsement" game works. But don't be near him when he goes completely mental; he might be packing.

Will Bigham at the Bulletin is on it. Don't expect to see a press release from Mayor Norma.

UPDATE: Will Bigham reports at 10:43 Friday morning that the Three Valleys water board voted 7-0 to censure Xavier Alvarez for taking spousal benefits from the district for his divorced former wife. Alvarez apparently joined with his colleagues in voting against himself.

FURTHER UPDATE LATE FRIDAY 10/27/07: The Daily Bulletin expands on the previous update with more details on the Three Valleys meeting where Alvarez was censured. The evidence has been forwarded to the DA that he may have illegally funneled some $4800 in benefits to his divorced former spouse. If prosecuted, that one is a felony.
