David Benzion at Lone Star Times notes that former Mayor Pro Tem and current Councilmember Carol Alvarado will be holding a “Town Hall Meeting On Financial Literacy” this weekend with State Sen. Rodney Ellis.
As we know after weeks of news coverage, Alvarado at the very least was inattentive in overseeing the finances of the Mayor Pro Tem’s office (she defends her inattention by calling herself a victim!), one of the few non-ceremonial roles of that office. And more recent coverage suggests that the District Attorney’s office is conducting a broader investigation of possible financial wrongdoing in the Mayor Pro Tem’s office. The situation is serious for a politician with aspirations of bigger and better things, as evidenced by Alvarado’s retention of an expensive defense attorney and PR firm.
So, the notion that she’s going to be conducting a seminar on financial literacy this weekend is just kind of hilarious, considering her own plight.
We can’t help but wonder if she ran this idea by her expensive PR firm, given how ludicrous it seems. And, as David Benzion points out, it’s hard to imagine Joe Householder approved of the clip art used on the flyer.
For anyone who wants to learn how to avoid being victimized by subordinates who might give themselves unauthorized pay raises, the seminar will be held on Saturday, from 1:00 to 3:00 pm, at the HCC Central Campus Gymnasium (1300 Holman).
