SAN ANTONIO – Interns related to two high-ranking Bexar County leaders at times worked an average of 56 hours a week or more, according to compensation records obtained by the KSAT 12 Defenders.
The paystubs cover the 2019 summer internships of Madison Dupuis and Derek Guevara, both of whom are third-degree blood relatives of county leaders, public records reveal. Employee relatives within three degrees include nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles and are prohibited under the county’s nepotism policy.
