Jaime Bonilla, trustee and former president of the Otay Water Board, has resigned to accept a position as an official in Mexico, insiders say. It is said the position may be to work for a Congressman, although Rostra is awaiting written confirmation.
Bonilla has long been “credited” with nearly single-handedly controlling the board majority at the Otay district, including driving last year’s controversial decision to extend lifetime benefits to employees.
Developing, in a word.
Update 1:45 pm — A reader translates the article posted in the comments below: “The article you posted referenced a column in El Solde de Tijuana. Looks like Bonilla accepted a position to work for Mexican Presidential candidate Andrés López Obrador. He basically will be coordinator, facilitator and strategist for the Progressives.”
