    Chavez Suspended
    Hispanic business leader is dethroned from leadership board position

    by P.J. Tobia

    The Tennessee Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (THCC) has voted unanimously to suspend its president, Robert (a.k.a. “Ismael”) Chavez, following the cover story in last week’s Scene (“The Bad Man of Nolensville Road,” Jan. 15). Miguel Torres, who sits on the chamber’s board of directors says that Chavez’s sleazy business practices were “like a cancer” on the Hispanic community.

    Among the Scene’s findings were that Chavez operated essentially as a housing agent for illegal immigrants, renting them apartments at above-market rates and profiting the excess. In addition, Chavez is being sued for defaulting on a $25,000 loan that he admits he signed for but that, in court documents, he says he’s not responsible for paying back. Among other negative claims agains him, sources say Chavez also was responsible for dismantling accountability within the chamber—taking on the roles of treasurer and vice president himself while serving as president and leaving other members in the dark.

    The press release announcing the suspension says, “The board’s actions were based upon a recent cover story in the Scene which called into question certain actions of the president and the board's concerns over the resulting negative implications of the article on the chamber.”

    “You did a good thing for the Hispanic community,” Torres says of the Scene. “The way that the chamber does business is going to change.”

    Torres cited a pending internal audit as well as an external review of the THCC’s financials and business practices. The suspension will last 90 days, and Ramon Cisneros will assume the presidency of the organization.

    “We’re going to restructure,” Torres says.

    Some might question the audit process, however, given that Ralph Levy remains the THCC’s legal counsel. Levy’s law firm is currently the registered agent of the La Paz health care clinics of which Chavez is a part owner, according to the Secretary of State’s office. Levy did not immediately return calls for comment. Torres tells the Scene he wasn’t aware of Levy’s connection to Chavez.

    Regardless, Torres and others on the board are convinced that the THCC has turned a corner.

    I am shocked, The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce has always been
    number 998822 in my book.
    Among the Scene’s findings were that Chavez operated essentially as a housing agent for illegal immigrants, renting them apartments at above-market rates and profiting the excess.

    just another case of hispanics sucking the blood out of illegal aliens who
    come here for a better life and to follow in Chavezs' footsteps.

    :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

    He was renting over 90 apts. to illegals. This man is a sleaze in every way. If you read the orginal article that started all this, it's typical of the corruption rampant south of the border. He also was lobbying for illegals....turns out, he himself, doesn't have a driver's license and his name isn't Robert, but ISMAEL! He smoozed all the politicians and apparently threaten anyone and everyone who defied him.

    Want to know where we are heading......read the original article. I suspect he was part of the '86 amnesty, since he came here in '87!
