The week has been a weird one in Bexar County down San Antonio way. It seems the Treasurer of the Bexar County Democrats is accused of embezzling over $200,000 from the primary account. Dwayne Adams is the accused. He apparently also owes a convenience store owner several thousand bucks for buying the store and not paying. Party Chair Carla Vela resigned this week, not due to this case, but instead to run for County Clerk. Not so sure anyone is going to trust her to run for clerk when she can't keep track of party finances. Granted it is the treasurer's job, but the party chair does have oversight of funds. How 200 grand just disappears without noticing is beyond me.
In better news for them, upon Vela's departure Stonewall Democrats of San Antonio co-chair Roberto Flores was elected the chair of the Bexar County party. He is the first openly gay man to hold the spot. We wish Roberto luck in dealing with his prior administration's mess. Sounds like Obama taking over for Bush.
