Even among the Knights of Columbus, there is dirty politics...
Amando Alvarez was the State Deputy
for the Knights of Columbus DC State Council in 2017/2018. He was a good person but a bit hard
headed and very disorganized.
While Mr. Alvarez was State Deputy, Otto
Heck (Patrick Cardinal O’Boyle Council #11302) was
the DC State Council Treasurer.
It seems that Mr. Heck was very
disruptive on a number of occasions, at a number of functions, mainly at council
events. Usually, something “ticked” him
off, and he would go off. This was exacerbated
due, as my Irish friend would say, “he liked a bit of the drink.”
It seems that this became a real
problem within his council. So, the
council approached Amando about this problem, which has become well known.
Amando brought Otto up on charges
of unbecoming a Knight.
It looked like Otto was going to get the
boot, but a deal was struck: He could
keep his position, but he had to sign a document stating that his behavior was
unbecoming of a Knight of Columbus and took full responsibilities for the
damaged caused.
Normally, the story would end, but my
source tells me that Otto was not one to take this lightly and decided to seek
revenge.
To do that, he turned to Brandon
Brown. Mr. Brown is from the St.
Michael the Archangel Council #14823.
Brandon wanted to be State Deputy and always felt that he
would be a better one than Amando. And
so, he saw this as his opportunity to get elected to State Deputy.
So, phone calls were made and it seems he got quite a number
of the other Grand Knights, to vote for him as State Deputy.
An inside source tells me that a deal was struck, but that
he did not know what it was
I have not been able to discover what the deal exactly was, even asking around a bit.
So, do any of you know what was the deal struck between
Brandon Brown and his supporters?
That is the $64,000 question that does not have an
answer.
