REVISITING ERNIE AND ERIN'S "LEGALITY" OF VENDING CONTRACT WITH COUNTY
---------------------------------------------------------------
By<b> Juan Montoya</b><br /><br />As we shift gears and slide into the 2012 elections campaign in full throttle, troubling questions remain about the vending machine contract that Cameron County signed with Central Vending Services.<br />In 2009, the previously, the contract was signed with Norma Hernandez, the wife of Ernie Hernandez â€" now the commissioner for Precinct 2 â€" and the company was known as Central Vending Services. However, this year's renewal was with CV Services and his daughter Erin (Hernandez) Garcia signed the contract on behalf of the company.<br />Wait, there's more.<br />If that didn't pass the stench test, consider this.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ7HgZrYDJoX2j-STSM5boxw99XNnHz54xUACtIHqwOojBgLUzsOSSQMtY1tLKoNYqWtlN-ReVt0DNFtzXdW0yhHGA1_Dt7bkbEZQqftcCgoW0be4LER9VyZJ80TnZ94ukPPh7svcZcgkG/s1600/ernie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="222" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ7HgZrYDJoX2j-STSM5boxw99XNnHz54xUACtIHqwOojBgLUzsOSSQMtY1tLKoNYqWtlN-ReVt0DNFtzXdW0yhHGA1_Dt7bkbEZQqftcCgoW0be4LER9VyZJ80TnZ94ukPPh7svcZcgkG/s320/ernie.jpg" width="320" /></a>When Hernandez’s wife and Garcia’s mother Norma Hernandez submitted the proposal to Cameron County in 2009, she identified herself as the owner of C V Services.<br />As Emma Perez-Treviño noted at the time: According to Cameron County’s vending machine policy, "The County prohibits operation of machines on county property of which profits go to county employees or county elected officials."<br />Everyone could see that the name changes and the shuffling of ownership of the company doing business with the county was just a ploy to keep the profits in the family. But the curious thing about this is that no county legal eagle never seems to have bothered to consult the state code to determine if the stratagem passed the conflict of interest test.<br />We have been advised by someone who should know that the county dropped the ball on this one. They point out that the Texas Local Government Code contains a statute that apparently controls this arrangement. <a href="https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&amp;pid=explorer&amp;chrome=true&amp;srcid=0B6lw4gOEnGiENDQwNWIzOWQtZTJiMi00MzkxLWEzNzItNmU5NTg2NDM2OTM5&amp;hl=en_US">[see link]</a><br />&nbsp;Section 171.001 is the&nbsp;pertinent statute governing a “Conflict Of Interest” for local (as opposed to state) officials, which is codified in the Code.<br />The Code defines “local public official” and “business entity,” while Section 171.002 defines a “substantial interest in [a] business entity,” which focuses upon a “local public official” in the context of having a “substantial interest” under this statute “if a person [is] related to the official in the first degree by consanguinity or affinity.”<br />&nbsp;This appears to confirm that if a County Commissioner entered into a contract with the County, the “excuse” that the business was recently transferred to his wife or daughter would run afoul of that statute (in regard to, respectively, affinity and consanguinity).<br />&nbsp;Under Section 171.004 (addressing “affidavit and abstention from voting required”), which gives rise to a criminal offense under Section 171.003 if Section 171.004 is violated, if the County Commissioner were to vote on that contract with the County, regardless of the claim that he no longer owns that business, as it was transferred to his wife or daughter, he would nevertheless violate Section 171.004, which would (under Section 171.003) constitute a criminal offense.<br />&nbsp;The remaining statutes (Sections 171.005 through 171.009) are germane (generally speaking) to this issue (although Section 171.010 is not).<br />So far, no one (except for Emma) has raised a question regarding the legality or appropriateness of the contract between the commissioners' wife or his daughter. Erin, by the way, is also running for the JP 2-2 position. If, as the Code seems to establish, the legality (or illegality) of the vending contract scheme is in question, wouldn't she, as the attorney she claims to be, do what is right instead of what may be legal?<br />In other words, are Erin and Ernie more interested in using the law to get around it than in imparting justice as she would have to do as a justice of the peace?<br />We're not lawyers, nor do we pretend to be, but the code appears to be pretty cut and dried on the illegality &nbsp;of the immediate relatives of a local public official inking a contract with the entity he represents? Are we right? Or did we miss something?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6016803033174468094-764350149201356839?l=rrunrrun.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>

MAKING US PROUD: PERRY THINKS CANADA IS A U.S. PROVINCE
---------------------------------------------------------------
<div class="entry-sharing clearfix"></div><div class="entry-content blogentrytext">By <b>Juan Montoya</b><br />It was a moment that would have made every true Texan with at least an elementary education wince.<br />In a campaign stop in Iowa,&nbsp;Texas governor and GOP presidential aspirant Rick Perry told a crowd that:<br />“Every barrel of oil that comes out of those sands in Canada &nbsp; is a barrel of oil that we don’t have to buy from a foreign source,” Mr. Perry said in Clarinda, Iowa, earning a loud round of enthusiastic applause.<br /><a href="http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattlepolitics/2011/08/23/perry-a-dope-bachmann-a-joke-romney-a-fraud/perry/" rel="attachment wp-att-12169" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-12169" height="320" src="http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattlepolitics/files/2011/08/Perry-150x150.jpg" title="Perry" width="320" /></a>Later, the audience reacted again to Mr. Perry’s assertion that buying so &nbsp; much energy from foreign countries is “not good policy, it’s not good politics &nbsp; and frankly it’s un-American.”<br />And that's been about par for the course with the Guv who has produced a gaffe a minute almost from the moment he announced for the Republican nomination in August.<br />Remember these fine examples? Perry claimed there are eight justices on the U.S. Supreme Court, then flubbed the date of the New Hampshire primary and the legal voting age (21), and referred to North Korea’s late dictator Kim Jong il as “Kim Jong the Second.”<br />And how can we forget the famous “Oops!” debate moment, when Perry could not remember the third cabinet agency that he would abolish. (It was the U.S. Dept. of Energy.)<br />The insult to our Canuk friends came about this past Wednesday while talking about the need to build the Keystone Xl pipeline that would link Canada’s oil sands development in Alberta with the U.S. Gulf Coast.<br />“Every barrel of oil that comes out of...Canada is a barrel of oil we don’t have to buy from a foreign source,” Perry told the crowd.</div>Does he not know that Canada is a sovereign country?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6016803033174468094-6075177463946809240?l=rrunrrun.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>

What If the City of Brownsville Thought Outside the Compadre System Box in Hiring a New City Manager?
---------------------------------------------------------------
by <a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001338858387">Jim Barton</a> on Friday, December 30, 2011 at 4:21pm <br /><div id="contentArea" role="main"><div><div class="uiHeaderSubActions rfloat"></div><div class="mbl notesBlogText clearfix"><div>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Juan Montoya of the <strong><em>El Rrun Rrun &nbsp;</em></strong>blog called it back in October, then refined his comments earlier this month on the City and Port of Brownsville's planned <em>compadre system shuffle, </em>with the Brownsville Police Chief, City Manager and Port Director swapping jobs.&nbsp; Oh, the two entities would go through the facade of a candidate search and qualification process but the three local good ol' boys would not step down from one high-paying job without the absolute certainty of the <em>bird in the hand </em>of another equally high-paying position.&nbsp; The first domino to fall was Brownsville Police Chief Carlos Garcia relinquishing the police chief position, then fortuitously landing the plum job of Chief of Security at the Port of Brownsville.&nbsp; Other candidates interviewed at the Port of Brownsville unaware the job was likely already filled.&nbsp; &nbsp;Now, it is rumored that City Manager Charlie Cabler, will step down as City Manager, only to survive a rudimentary selection process and be named Brownsville Police Chief with the Port of Brownsville's Eddie Campirano eventually named City Manager with the job's salary bumped up to match that of the Port Director position he relinquished.&nbsp; <br /><img alt="" class="photo_img img" src="http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/403300_270958892958737_100001338858387_698103_511172557_n.jpg" /><span class="caption"></span><br /><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </em>Who decided in the first place that an ex-police chief was the best man or woman in the country to manage the economic development, grant writing, public policy and labor relations for a quasi-challenged city approaching a population of 200,000?&nbsp; The appointment is simply illustrative of the City of Brownsville being firmly stuck in the compadre system box.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What if the City Commission simply ignored the shadowy <em>powers that be </em>from United Brownsville or worried not about hurt feelings and simply found the best candidate for City Manager?&nbsp; What if the mayor and city commission insisted on credentials consistent with other cities of Brownsville's stature and size?&nbsp; Those basic credentials could include:&nbsp; a masters degree in public administration,&nbsp; experience in grant writing, public policy and non-profit management and labor relations, prior experience as a management analyst.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What if the city was able to choose from candidates with successful city managment experience in slightly smaller, progressive cities in Texas or other states?&nbsp; These qualified applicants could be sorted out oblivious to their ethnicity or cultural background or current geographical location.&nbsp; Cultural or geographical inbreeding tends to weaken the governmental genetic pool, not strengthen it.&nbsp; New or fresh ideas may be unsettling initially, taking us out of our comfort zone or accustomed way of doing things, but a fresh look may be just what we need.<br /><img alt="" class="photo_img img" src="http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/400192_270959299625363_100001338858387_698104_1989477755_n.jpg" /><span class="caption"></span><br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A compadre system is a calabaza-driven system, not in the sense of an endorsed traceable cashiers check, but in the sense of rewarding those already in the system with the employment opportunities within the system.&nbsp; That method of operation excludes the better qualified, better educated, but not connected applicants.&nbsp; So, our city gets inferior performance at an inflated cost, maintaining the status quo.&nbsp; Our city stays stagnant, nonprogressive but the good ol' boys get taken care of handsomely.<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Brownsville suffers.<br /><br /></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4696772328771334084-5276274610437657167?l=meanmisterbrownsville.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>

Chief Charlotte Garcia has named rising department sleuth Chili Perez (see photo above) as the man to replace Det. Alfred Alpaca in the sensational case.<br /><br />Alpaca was the first detective at the scene of what many already say was the vicious murder of young Louise Herrera. Alpaca's weepy appearance before a press conference at the police station drew thousands of telephone calls to Chief Garcia's office - all of them demanding that Alpaca be taken off the case.<br /><br />"The citizens wanted someone else," Garcia said late in the day. "Many of them said Alfred was being too emotional. They wanted a hard-ass on the case. Chili Perez is that man."<br /><br />Ms. Herrera's body was discovered by a jogger cutting through thick wild brush and mesquite trees in an area known as a favorite haunt for coyotes. The jogger, who told police he was a mediocre welterweight boxer from Olmito, said he spotted the woman's body and at first believed it was a large doll. Cops declined to give the boxer's name, saying he remains part of the investigation.<br /><br />Victim Louise Herrera had been in the news of late following her accusation that <em>Paz Files</em> writer Rudolf Von Bulow had tanked her up with booze and then repeatedly raped her at his condo on South Padre Island. The case was working its way through the courts when Ms. Herrera's body was recovered by the coroner's office. According to Det. Alpaca, she had been stabbed in the back multiple times. Chief Garcia said Det. Chili Perez would not be availed to the press. Perez is known within the department as a no-nonsense officer with a photographic memory and a penchant for solving <em>New York Times</em> crossword puzzles.<br /><br />"Chili's sharp," said another BPD officer who requested anonymity. "He's the detective who worked the Judge Lupe Limas bribery case behind the scenes. Chili doesn't get publicity 'cause that's the way he wants it. I'd say he's got the sort of personality that may make you think he's just another lazy Mexican, but there, underneath his shitty hats, sits the brain of a chess grandmaster. He'll work all angles and he'll solve the case."<br /><br />According to Chief Garcia, there is no one suspect on the radar screen. She, however, poo-poohed any talk about anyone the public may have in mind, including Marquita Washington - the woman who expressed anger at being told her ex-boyfriend, LaCandrelle Jefferson, had been enticed by Ms. Herrera onto her bed. Jefferson, himself, was found shot to death inside his Mini Cooper recently. No arrest has been made in that case, either.<br /><br />Marquita Washington, meanwhile, is said to be somewhere in Mexico with her current flame, DaQuan Monroe, and their child. At last report, they were holed-up in a second-story flat in Acapulco, but a call to the apartment went unanswered today.<br /><br />Rudolf Von Bulow arrived in Harlingen aboard a Southwest Airlines flight shortly after noon, but dashed off to his island residence ahead of a trailing pack of reporters, who then camped outside the condo building awaiting comment. Von Bulow, who had been in France since the allegations surfaced earlier this month, had denied raping the junior college beauty, insisting that the deviant sex they enjoyed had been consensual. He nonetheless had offered the Herrera family $1 million to drop all charges, but, as with everything in the Land of Tomorrow, nothing had come of it.<br /><br />There was no comment from the Herrera family today. Efforts to reach them at their humble Cameron Park house were unsuccessful and a neighbor came out to say the family was incommunicado and in mourning.<br /><br />Det. Chili Palmer was seen leaving the police station in a battered 1980 Volvo sedan...<br /><br /><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:85%;">- 30 -</span></strong></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8418586410607151775-1483583836211867136?l=thepazfiles.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>

A Retelling of How the Bitch Stole Christmas

The whole TSC Mission!<br />Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason.<br />It could be her birth made her brown and not white.<br />It could be, perhaps, she got beat with a shoe every night.<br />But I think that the most likely reason of all<br />May have been that her heart was two sizes too small.<br /><br />But,<br />Whatever the reason,<br />Her birth or the shoes,<br />She plotted and planned and continued to schmooze <br />Staring down from her cave with a sour, Bitchy frown<br />At the warm lighted windows below in their town.<br />For she knew every Brown down in Brownsville beneath<br />Was busy now, hanging a Juliet effigy wreath.<br /><br />"And they're casting their ballots!" she snarled with a sneer.<br />"Tomorrow’s TSC-College! It's practically here!"<br />Then she growled, with her Bitch fingers nervously drumming,<br />"I MUST find a way to keep TSC-College from coming!"<br />For, tomorrow, she knew...<br /><br />...All the Brown girls and boys<br />Would wake up bright and early. They’d vote out her boys!<br />And then! Oh, the Choice ! Oh, the choice! Choice! Choice! Choice!<br />That's one thing she hated! The CHOICE! CHOICE! CHOICE! CHOICE!<br /><br />Then the Browns, young and old, would demand fees be decreased.<br />And they'd feast! And they'd feast!<br />And they'd FEAST! FEAST! FEAST! FEAST!<br />They would start questioning costs, and how they'd been fleeced<br />Which was something the Bitch couldn't stand in the least!<br /><br />And THEN<br />They'd do something she liked least of all!<br />Every Brown down in Brownsville, the tall and the small,<br />Would stand close together, with College bells ringing.<br />They'd have TSC-itis. And the Browns would start singing!<br /><br />They'd sing! And they'd sing!<br />AND they'd SING! SING! SING! SING!<br />And the more the Bitch thought of the Junior-College-Sing<br />The more the Bitch thought, "I must stop their TSC thing!<br />"Why for nineteen odd years I've put up with it now!<br />I MUST stop TSC College from coming!<br />...But HOW?"<br /><br />Then she got an idea!<br />An awful idea!<br />THE BITCH<br />GOT A WONDERFUL, AWFUL IDEA!<br /><br />"I know just what to do!" The Bitch Laughed in her throat.<br />And she made a quick Santy Claus hat and a coat.<br />And she chuckled, and clucked, "What a great Bitchy trick!<br />"With her coat and her hat, I'll look just like Saint Nick!"<br /><br />"All I need is a fall guy..."<br />The Bitch looked around.<br />But since fall guys are scarce, there was none to be found.<br />Did that stop the old Bitch...?<br />No! The Bitch simply said,<br />"If I can't find a fall guy, I'll make one instead!"<br />So she called her dog Alan. Then she took some red thread<br />And she tied a big title on top of his head.<br /><br />THEN<br />She acquired a plan<br />And some old empty sacks<br />On a ramshackle sleigh<br />And she hitched up her hacks.<br /><br />Then the Bitch said, "Giddyap!"<br />And the sleigh started down<br />Toward the homes where the Browns<br />Lay a-snooze in their town.<br /><br />All their windows were dark. Quiet snow filled the air.<br />All the Browns were all dreaming sweet dreams without care<br />When she came to the first house in the square.<br />"There is stop number one," The old Bitchy Claus hissed<br />And she climbed to the roof, evil plan in her fist.<br /><br />Then she slid down the chimney. A rather tight pinch.<br />But if Santa could do it, then so could the Bitch.<br />She got stuck only once, for a moment or two.<br />Then she stuck her head out of the fireplace flue<br />Where the in-district tuition all hung in a row.<br />"In-district tuition," she grinned, "is the first thing to go!"<br /><br />Then she slithered and slunk, with a smile most unpleasant,<br />Around the Board room, and she took every present!<br />Parking Lots! And Buildings! Professorships! Graduate gowns!<br />Libraries! Snack Bars! Book Stores! And Lawns!<br />And she stuffed them in bags. Then the Bitch, very nimbly,<br />Stuffed all the bags, one by one, up the chimney!<br /><br />Then she slunk to the tax rolls. She took the Browns' feast!<br />She increased the tax rate! She took the tamale-roast beast!<br />She cleaned out those tax rolls as quick as a flash.<br />Why, that Bitch even took thousands for a self-serving bash!<br /><br />Then she stuffed all the money up the chimney with glee.<br />"And NOW!" grinned the Bitch, "I’ll discredit trustees!"<br /><br />And the Bitch blamed trustees, and she started to shove<br />When she heard a small sound like the coo of a dove.<br />She turned around fast, trouble stared to brew!<br />Little Adela whose years on the board had been few.<br /><br />The Bitch had been caught by their little Brown daughter<br />Who'd got out of bed for a cup of cold water.<br />She stared at the Bitch and said, "Santy Claus, why,<br />"Why are you breaking our Partnership ? WHY?"<br /><br />But, you know, that old Bitch was so smart and so slick<br />She thought up a lie, and she thought it up quick!<br />"Why, my sweet little tot," the fake Santy Claus lied,<br />"There's a trustee or two that won’t vote on my side.<br />"So I'm taking it home to the Regents, my dear.<br />"I'll fix it up there. Then I'll bring it back here."<br /><br />And her fib fooled the board. Then she patted their heads<br />And she made up some bullshit and she sent them to bed.<br />And when Rene, Trey and Kiko went to bed with their cups,<br />SHE went to the chimney and stuffed the cash up!<br /><br />Then the last thing she took<br />Was the log for their fire.<br />Then she went up the chimney herself, the old liar.<br />On their rolls she left nothing but eleven for hire.<br /><br />And the one speck of cash<br />The she left in the house<br />Was a dime that was even too small for a mouse.<br /><br />Then<br />She did the same thing<br />To the other Brown's houses<br /><br />Leaving crumbs<br />Much too small<br />For the other Brown's mouses!<br /><br />It’s the time in the story, you were waiting for when<br />I dishonorably mention that putz, DP/M<br />That talentless hack that still darkens our door<br />For readers and notice he continues to whore<br />With cucuy uncounted he continues his edict<br />“I’ve written this bullshit, so now you MUST read it!”<br />We continue our story from here to the end<br />With no further mention of DP slash M<br /><br />It was quarter past dawn...<br />All the Browns, still a-bed<br />All the Browns, still a-snooze<br />When she packed up her sled,<br />Running the despicable game plan<br />That Wayne Moore had read.<br /><br />Packed it up with their presents! The ribbons! The wrappings!<br />The tags! And the tinsel! The trimmings! The trappings!<br /><br />Three thousand feet up! Up the side of Mount Crumpit,<br />She rode to the tiptop to dump it!<br />"The plan was so smart!" she was Bitch-ish-ly humming.<br />"They're finding out now that no TSC’s is coming!<br />"They're just waking up! I know just what they'll do!<br />"Their mouths will hang open a minute or two<br />"The all the Browns down in Brownsville will all cry BOO-HOO!"<br /><br />"That's a noise," grinned the Bitch,<br />"That I simply must hear!"<br />So she paused. And the Bitch put a hand to her ear.<br />And she did hear a sound rising over the snow.<br />It started in low. Then it started to grow...<br /><br />But the sound wasn't sad!<br />Why, that sound sounded merry!<br />It couldn't be so!<br />But it WAS merry! VERY!<br /><br />She stared down at Brownsville!<br />The Bitch popped her eyes!<br />Then she shook!<br />What she saw was a shocking surprise!<br /><br />Every Brown down in Brown-ville, the tall and the small,<br />Was singing! Without any presents at all!<br />She HADN'T stopped TSC College from coming!<br />IT CAME!<br />Somehow or other, it came just the same!<br /><br />And the Bitch, with her Bitch-feet ice-cold in the snow,<br />Stood puzzling and puzzling: "How could it be so?<br />It came without Regents! Or Reba the Hag!<br />It came despite Putegnat's coauthored plan!<br />And she puzzled three hours, `till her puzzler was sore.<br />Then the Bitch thought of something she hadn't before!<br />"Maybe TSC College," she thought, "isn't something to whore."<br />"Maybe TSC College...perhaps...means a little bit more!"<br /><br />And what happened then...?<br />Well...in Brownsville they say<br />That the Bitch's small heart<br />Is what gave her away.<br />And when her evil plan had been posted one night,<br />The board of trustees took offense at her slight,<br />They brought all the terms of the contracts to light.<br />And they brought back the toys! And the food for the feast!<br />And she...<br /><br />...SHE HERSELF...!<br />The Bitch was carved up like a beast!<br /><br />Rot in Hell, Julie! It's over! Good Night, Puta<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7460924536583987444-854263468163530223?l=brownsvillenoise.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>

Alfred Alpaca. "She was stabbed in the back and left to die at the base of a craggy mesquite tree near a ravine known as a haven for coyotes."<br /><br />Alpaca did not elaborate on who the main suspect may or may not be, instead noting that there are a number of people involved in the victim's life, including Von Bulow, former boyfriend LaCandrelle Jefferson and Jefferson's former galpal, Marquita Washington. The detective, fighting tears and sobs after saying the killing was "senseless and cruel," added Ms. Herrera was not pregnant at the time of death.<br /><br />Earlier reports had her saying she was carrying Jefferson's baby.<br /><br />The rape case had drawn wide attention in this gossipy part of Texas, mainly because Ms. Herrera had made serious allegations of being forced to perform deviant sexual acts while allegedly raped by Von Bulow following a long night of drinking and partying on South Padre Island. Von Bulow has denied the charges and tried to deflect criticism by offering the accuser's family $1 million. Ms. Herrera's death absolves Von Bulow of all allegations. He was said to be on his way back to Brownsville from Paris, France.<br /><br />Detective Alpaca would not point his finger at any of the main suspects, but many in this ever-saddened, forever-weepy bordertown say the principal suspect should be Marquita Washington. It is Washington who some believe was behind the recent murder of Jefferson. That charge was led by Wilona "Weesie" Washington, mother of Marquita.<br /><br />Alpaca did say the crime scene was "a bloody mess." Included in the findings was a rap songbook, something the detective said may have been used to force Louise Herrera to perform some songs before her death. "It's something you see in the inner city," he went on while dabbing his eyes with a handkerchief. "You'd have to know something about that lifestyle to understand it."<br /><br />Louise Herrera's body was nude and showed signs of sexual activity.<br /><br />"They just sat her up against the tree and left her there," the detective told story-hungry reporters gathered outside police headquarters. "The blood told it all, but it could've been a scene from a Norman Rockwell painting of a young woman merely enjoying a meadow on a bright, sun-splashed day."<br /><br />No comment came from the family, although one of her siblings said Louise Herrera had completed her initial studies in paleantology at Texas Southmost College and was to enroll at UT-Brownsville for Spring classes to complete requirements for her degree.<br /><br />"This one's on me," Det. Alpaca said of his hunt for the killer...<br /><br /><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:85%;">- 30 -</span></strong></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8418586410607151775-7828331983340646214?l=thepazfiles.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>

ARE WE BETTER OFF THIS YEAR THAN WE WERE BEFORE THE NEW CITY CREW TOOK OVER?
---------------------------------------------------------------
By <strong>Juan Montoya</strong><br />During his 1980 presidential campaign against&nbsp;Jimmy Carter, Ronald Raygun&nbsp;hit a nerve when he asked Americans 'Are you better off than you were four years ago?"<br />&nbsp;Now it's time for Brownsville residents to paraphrase the same question: "Are we better off than we were a year ago before we elected the new bunch at city hall?<br />The streets look the same, or worse. The economy is not much better. Millions are still being spent lavishly by our economic development&nbsp;alphabet soup boards (BEDC, GBIC, BCIC, etc...). And United Brownsville â€" accountable to no one â€" is still siphoning&nbsp;off &nbsp;$25,000 from the city, each of these boards, plus another four or five entities to implement a plan for which it has no legal authority other than the mandate of Lord of the Manor&nbsp;Fred Rusteberg, president of IBC bank and a resident of Rancho Viejo Resort.<br /><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1FfoiTiaPX9ZFlYwIcDvhIFzf54qWXnxi0Z1xWGDylB-JRcwbgCm3x9yEvwSe-qmRApqycGYlO1ZZgNPQcVYvQa8qVgPRdGVVa-LuO8X2wqcTvddguRHF9APkDDQJIisF0CUjCHu63a2I/s1600/ronald+reagan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="295" rea="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1FfoiTiaPX9ZFlYwIcDvhIFzf54qWXnxi0Z1xWGDylB-JRcwbgCm3x9yEvwSe-qmRApqycGYlO1ZZgNPQcVYvQa8qVgPRdGVVa-LuO8X2wqcTvddguRHF9APkDDQJIisF0CUjCHu63a2I/s320/ronald+reagan.jpg" width="320" /></a>We still have a city manager with zilch urban management training, much less a degree on the subject. We have his ally contract City Attorney Mark Sossi drawing more than $180,000 for part-time work while doling out plums to those he's beholden for previous sins. We have a city commissioner who has decided that the politically thing right to do is to make sure everyone is force dt eat healthy, uses no plastic bans at stores, and who is leading&nbsp;the good battle against those pesky cigarette butts.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">But yes, you may say, we got rid of that loudmouth, brash, and pushy commissioner Charlie Atkinson and dog lover Mayor Pat Ahumada. True. Instead, we have acquired the services of Stealth Mayor Tony Martinez who's content to let the sewage continue flowing from the city commission chambers, into the river and out into the Gulf of Mexico.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The public&nbsp;is still muzzled and prevented from having their comments aired on their public airwaves. And the white elephant called the Brownsville Sports Park is still draining away valuable public assets like a whirlpool.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">But we do&nbsp;have a&nbsp;wall to keep out the Mexicans. And, by golly, once we get together a plan (and money) to construct a Riverwalk with Mexico, we have the OK from the feds to remove it. Right.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">We have a new city commissioner who's being investigated for beating her mate, another&nbsp;who interferes with DWI arrests of her friends and makes no bones about it. We have&nbsp;fire department chief who has no business filling that spot and regularly get shot down when he's trying to push his omnipotent management style down the throats of his underlings.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The local newspaper hawks the message that the&nbsp;plastic bag ban&nbsp;has worked wonders for our environment. Really? Take a gander&nbsp;at the drainage ditch across Old Port Isabel Road from the Wal-Mart and tell me that the same plastic bags a year after the ban are still not draped across mesquite trees and snagged on weeds on the ditch banks? We might as well put a good spin on it and declare the plastic bag snagged across mesquite trees and fences the official Brownsville City Banner.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">You can't legislate cleanliness. And you can't legislate political correctness either. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">With the majority of the city commission content to allow the Powers That Be under Rusteberg and his power elite to have their way, there will never be any real progress made on behalf of the residents of this city. About the only silver lining to be seen in terms of economic development in town is the influx of upper middle-class Mexicans fleeing the violence in our neighbor to the south and bringing their money with them. And regardless of what anyone in the local chamber of commerce says, it wasn't the millions we spend in economic development that&nbsp;enticed them here.&nbsp;</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">But that's not why we built the wall, is it? </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Now, are you better off now than you were a year ago?.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">"There you go again!"</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6016803033174468094-8341418768587236982?l=rrunrrun.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>

Blues War In Brownsville

They say the dominant Mexican culture needs the traditional strolling musician to retain its true identity. To that end, this bordertown home to some 140,000 legal and illegal residents is asking the music sector to rally behind its move to bring back the celebrated street-ambling mariachi.<br /><br />"This crap about the Blues and the Jazz and the ha-ha-ha will simply kill us," said a worried City Hall insider. "We're Brownsville, Texas, not New Orleans or Memphis! We're more Mexico than Mississippi, more Chicano than Texan, more Vato than Redneck, more Chaparro than Negroe."<br /><br />Not since the border bandit Juan N. Cortina terrorized this part of the state has anything so unnerved Brownsville. Cortina's wild-flying bullets played a bad tune; the Blues now roil living room conversations here in the same manner that Cortina's maniacal assaults looped locals.<br /><br />"I can see maybe having some Blues records at the Mall," said Salvador "<em>El Bandolon</em>" Colunga, a resident of the poverty-stricken Southmost neighborhood. "But I want my corridos, my cumbias, my merengue, my Rigo Tovar, my Tejano before I want the Blues. My nagging wife is my Blues!"<br /><br />Yet, even as some wonder what the noise is all about, those pushing the Blues down local throats are doing it in warp-speed, coloring the idea with first-rate posters and writing up the mood in Blogs that approach the task with the zeal of a crackhead lighting up his next hit. It is at once comical and ridiculous. Brownsville's flirtation with the Blues is the equivalent of that now-gone flirtation with bordellos in neighboring Matamoros, Mexico. Came the time when city leaders there said enough is enough. The Bordello was shut down by the Mexican Army in a raid back in 1980. Here, the Blues are the new weed.<br /><br />"I'm hip to the trip," said Maria "<em>La Pelona</em>" Lopez, a 28-year-old divorcee interviewed at a downtown Tex-Mex cafe. "I partied in Austin one weekend and I found it absolutely exciting, like I was in another world. The Blues settle me down, not like Tejano, which is like being hit on the side of the head with a bottle of <strong><em>Coca-Cola</em></strong>. I'm for the Blues, yes."<br /><br />Another resident sees it as nothing more than the latest fad, something some in the city can say is something new coming to town, like the hula-hoop or the Davy Crockett coonskin cap.<br /><br />"We went apeshit with the Urban Cowboy craze," said Porfirio "<em>El Miserable</em>" Ochoa. "We had Disco and everybody went over to Mervyn's to buy the white Travolta shoes and nylon shirts. Then we had Rap and every freakin' young Mexican started talking like Black people and wearing their pants below their waist, like pendejos. That's who we are - followers, not trendsetters."<br /><br />Will the Blues find fertile ground in Brownsville?<br /><br />"It's just a few Old Geezers looking for it, writing it up," said Ninfa "<em>La Uva</em>" Jeantete, a local waitress. "They are harmless guys. Let them think what they want to think. My idea of the Blues is something else, but who am I to blow against the wind..."<br /><br /><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:85%;">- 30 -</span></strong></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8418586410607151775-1625265499358236431?l=thepazfiles.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
