San Juan Bautista has a League of United Latin American Citizens chapter.

San Benito County's state Assemblyman Luis Alejo was honored by the League of United Latin American Citizens last week in Washington, D.C., for his "leadership and service to the Latino community," according to an announcement from his office.

The League of United Latin American Citizens wants to make it clear – it is not involved with a redistricting lawsuit against the health care district and opposes the action.

County members of a youth Latino group were inside the Hart Center Office Building in Washington, D.C. on Thursday when police killed a woman nearby after a chase from the White House to the Capitol.

Gavilan College board president Laura Perry responded in a letter to Assemblyman Luis Alejo to claims by an advocacy group that the Gavilan board should re-agendize its October approval of the president's $42,000 pay hike in light of allegations trustees violated the state open meetings law in their decision.

In this interview excerpt, hear Aurelio Zuniga from the Hollister LULAC chapter explain the group's allegations that the Gavilan College board violated the state open meetings law when it approved College President Steve Kinsella's $42,000 annual pay hike.

Gavilan College President Steve Kinsella’s $42,000 salary raise is under fire again – though this time it’s because a local Latino advocacy group alleges the Gavilan College board violated the Brown Act in an October meeting when trustees approved increasing his pay from $234,090 to $276,090 by 2015.
