In an exclusive news report published in El Latino, a foreign press outlet, it was reported that a rumor had surfaced indicating that Public Works Director Hector Chavez had "evacuated" his office following a meeting with City Manager, Daniel Valenzuela. According to the story, the rumor seemed to gain credibility since Chavez chose to take a week long vacation following that meeting.
The story further states that Chavez may have to leave his position upon his return, something that was not verified by either Chavez or Valenzuela but by other unnamed city officials.
According to the Latino, many had speculated that Chavez would be leaving his position possibly due to his dealings associated with the county landfill and his role of consultant to the County as it related to the landfill.
So the question is whether this information should be taken as news or a simple rumor that should be treated as an editorial from that publication.
Regarless, come Monday the public will know if El Latino had an exclusive that no one else did and that no one else cared to pursue.
