Clint ISD Board Member is Lying or Mistaken
You may recall that I wrote about a member of the Clint ISD Board of Trustees not taking office until 6 months have passed in order to get around a nepotism rule at the district.
The El Paso Times did a story on it today. You can find the story here: "Nepotism concerns delay Clint trustee's swearing in"

Hilda James is the board member in question. The Times article indicates that James says no one has raised concerns about the delay.
She's either lying or mistaken. Channel 26 did a story on this issue back when they were sworn into office. They had a news crew at the meeting.
You're telling me that a trustee from a very small town that almost never has news crews in town didn't notice there was a news crew at the meeting?
Talk about pulling a Brian Williams!
26 probably covers more issues in the valley than any other station because so many of their viewers are Spanish-language dominant.
James acknowledges that the optics are such that some would find it "suspicious" that she's not serving on the board.
This is yet another blow to the public confidence of Clint ISD.
