District Clerk Troubles...Omar in the news...AGAIN...No wonder Laura Hinojosa's smiling

When our District Clerk Omar Guerrerro first got into legal troubles last year stemming from a DWI charge, I knew in my heart he sealed his fate. There was no way an incumbent who found himself in trouble with former employees, and political enemies could slither his way back into the office once the elections were counted and done with. But like a lot of other instances where I've felt that a politician pretty much killed his odds to win re-election, there was still that slight possibility that he could pull it off. He was, after all, an incumbent running on the slogan, "I'm just getting started". Well, he needs to clear out his desk, because he's just finished. It doesn't take a political expert to know that with today's announcement on NewsChannel 5 regarding his legal troubles with First National Bank in the amount of $17,000 dollars, sans court costs, Mr. Guerrerro has indeed sealed his fate, and the District Clerk's office is up for grabs for pretty much anybody who filled out an application to be on the ballot this March. Hell, after seeing Laura Hinojosa's campaign ads, I'd be smiling too.
