"Poster Child for Non-Traditional Students" Declares for TSC Trustee Place 5

Ruben Herrera understands the impact of education in his life. The Alonzo Building on E. St. Charles Street was filled with his mentors, landladies and friends Thursday night.

"I was 28, married, with two kids, and no GED when I talked to a counselor at TSC,"  stated Ruben Herrera at his meet and greet.  "They told me to get a couple of recommendations and come back."


Herrera went on to get a masters degree and a license to practice law, but now wants to assist young people like himself as a TSC trustee.

Obviously, Herrera has community support as the Alonzo Building was packed.  TSC trustees Adela Garza and Trey Mendez were there. Current candidates for politcal office passed out their push cards.


Jerry McHale, fit and tanned, tried to approach the bar, but was briefly detained by my request to "not serve this man."

Perhaps my friend Kiko Rendon will declare for another trustee spot considering Herrera's support.
