Should Gutierrez step down?
In light of the Hueston report, which details all kinds of shenanigans in the Assessor's Office, many are calling on the resignation of Councilman Rex Gutierrez.
Among those making the calls are his own colleagues.
"I'm hoping he sees his continuance on the City Council as a hindrance to the community and the city itself," said Councilman Sam Spagnolo.
The report released on Tuesday accuses Gutierrez of being an ill qualified employee who had erratic attendance at the Assessor's Office and rarely performed assessor-related duties. Nevertheless, Gutierrez got raises worth $11,565 in six month's time.

"Whatever he was doing in the Assesor's Office, some of that flowed over (to the city)," Spagnolo said. "Your gut reaction is, if he was doing that there, what was he doing here?"
The county is now suing six people in the Assessor's Office including Gutierrez. The District Attorney's office is also conducting its own investigation.
What do you think? Should Gutierrez resign now?

Got a what?
Just keeping up the suspense, Stephen.
The moment Rex is placed in hand cuffs- you guys pick the place... I'll show up with a mariachi band and tacos... My treat.
As someone who taught at the same school as Rex I can tell you all of these allegations make sense. He was a lousy teacher who loved to show movies (not educational videos, feature films!) in class quite frequently.
One of my students who also had Gutierrez said one day he was showing a movie and an administrator came into class. He immediately turned off the movie and quickly passed out an economics worksheet...to a government class! This is all about karma in my opinion.
