Board voted to suspend executive committee after CEO’s resignation

As mentioned in last week’s Advance News Journal, McAllen Chamber’s longtime CEO Steve Ahlenius tendered his verbal resignation Oct. 19, reading from a prepared statement, and the board accepted it. The Advance has placed a Public Information Request with the chamber for the recording of that board meeting because according to several sources willing to speak on the condition of anonymity, it became more than a little heated after Ahlenius resigned out of the blue. How many board members, if any, perhaps knew the news was coming isn’t known.

Robert Francis Can't Win

Robert Francis (AKA Beto) O'Rourke has announced he's running for governor of Texas. Democrats generally view him as a strong candidate because of his showing in the last senatorial race in which he trailed by a lesser percentage than Democrat candidates in other statewide races. Those statistics, however, are deceiving since there was a third-party libertarian in the race who siphoned off two or three% of the Republican senatorial vote.
