He's a "disgrace"

Three Valleys Municipal Water District Director Brian Bowcock called district Board Member Xavier Alvarez a "disgrace" at the board's Wednesday meeting and asked him to resign, Daily Bulletin reporter Will Bigham reports today.

You'll recall Alvarez pleaded guilty to falsely claiming he won the Medal of Honor, which has touched off furor in the community and among local veterans.

As promised, Bowcock ripped Alvarez a new one and even called for recall campaign to remove Alvarez from his seat.

Alvarez' defense: "I said it," Alvarez said. "I regret it - the way that I said it."
