KPRC-2 led off the 6 p.m. broadcast with a story that Alvarado herself is now under investigation. Apparently, one of those four employees did sing. . . . and the song is “we performed non-city work for Ms. Alvarado.” The DA’s office is being fairly tight-lipped about what and when, and exactly what employee is making the allegations.

However they did mention that they’d found some “peculiar” papers among the thousands seized last week, including a list of what all the council member’s favorite gifts to recieve were.

Gee, I suppose that could be for Christmas shopping, but wouldn’t that be among her personal papers, then?

Edit: Their story is up on the website now; I added the link above.

District Attorney Chuck Rosenthal told KPRC Local 2 that there are questions about whether Alvarado asked her employees to perform tasks unrelated to city business. The exact nature of the jobs was not disclosed, but it could be illegal if the tasks were carried out while the employees were on the clock for the city.

Oddly, they do not repeat the part about the gift list in the article
