Do we have a honest public serpant left? Everyday anymore there is another elected official either indicted, arrested or convicted of another crime.

Okay mi gente...lets take an inventory of what happens when an underemployed person becomes a city council person. Oh yeah, they begin to think city council is a full time job, and never get a real one. As a community we should really ensure our council candidates have gainful, legal, non-affiliated, or conflictive (for contracts etc.) employment prior to their election. How could a 31 year old Beltran not pay a $5,500 dollar attorney's bill or a friends cell phone bill without looting his campaign fund; is he really that broke? Oh yeah he is... he has no real job aside from his imagined "political consultant" gig, and has a problem blowing his cash at clubs, trendy stores, etc. Public serpant is right; he is far from a public servant. Political office does not entitle one to a benz or 300 with rims, to dine at exclusive restaurants, dress in thousand dollar suits, charge up city cards in Vegas, or any other such graft. Beltran and others like him are not out for the city, they are out for themselves. To bad they could not develop their own successful careers, and they have allowed materialism and image projection rule their lives. si sigue haci, nos perjudica a todos los latinos y nos hacen parecer unos tontos, unos incultos que permitimos la tirania del caudillismo a manos de un gropo de politicos corruptos, inintelectuales, e immorales. Mario Beltran could never write or reason at a level even close to this post.
