Bexar County Commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to remove the longtime chair of the county’s small business advisory board, Chris Forbrich, after colleagues testified that he referred to one of the commissioners as a “crusading c—.”, a newsletter rundown of the most important news, delivered every Monday and Thursday.
He had just been reappointed to the board the previous day without the support of Clay-Flores, who wanted to reduceSpeaking to Clay-Flores’ appointee, Marinella Murillo, Forbrich allegedly brought up that vote ahead of the following day’s committee meeting, saying “Did you hear what your crusading c— of a commissioner tried to do to me last night?”On Tuesday, Calvert made the motion to rescind Forbrich’s appointment, and commissioners, including Clay-Flores, unanimously voted to do so.
In an interview after the meeting, Sakai said the word choice was “offensive,” and that Forbrich’s appointment “is not subject to any protection of law.”Clay-Flores said Tuesday that she didn’t know about the comments until an item to address the issue appeared on the Commissioners Court agenda.
