PUB Board Members Sound the Retreat

Perhaps realizing the error of their ways, PUB board members Cris Valadez, Robert Sanchez, and Pat Ahumada filed a "non-suit" to their ongoing PUB case today, voluntarily dismissing all their claims without prejudice. (As I understand it, "without prejudice" means without barring the plaintiff from returning later with the same underlying claims.)

Also of note, a "special meeting" for the PUB board had been called for this evening by members Ahumada and Valadez, probably aware that Mayor Eddie Trevino was out of town and a voting majority on action items was theirs for the taking. Their luck worsening and after such short notice (posted only this past Tuesday), members Oscar Garcia and Billy Bradford were also unavailable to attend. Ergo no quorum.

The meeting has been rescheduled for the evening of Tuesday, March 8th, providing an opportunity for all members to be present. Let's hope the board can get back to business without these pointless, costly, and fruitless distractions.
