We know Mayor Tony "<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Tormenta</span>" Martinez. He was born and raised in <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Harlingen</span>, educated in Texas, a lawyer and father in Brownsville. He was too much of a nerd to be a Chicano, but he likes to think of himself as a California/New York liberal who reads good books, drinks expensive wines and vacations in Europe. We know his thinking process, so we decided that we didn't need to inconvenience him physically for this interview.<br /></em><br /><strong>What is the basic difference between you and your predecessor Pat "El <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Perro</span>" <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Ahumada</span>?</strong> Pat doesn't know if he's coming or going. I know when I'm coming and I know where I'm going.<br /><br /><strong>Why did you run for mayor?</strong> To be quite honest, I saw the mountain and I decided to scale it. If I had to do it all over again, I would have elected another activity to amuse myself. Politics is for individuals who suffer from inferiority complexes. They have no true sense of self. In retrospect, I could have better utilized this time I'm wasting on a losing cause to write a novel or learn French.<br /><br /><strong>Why haven't you asked Ernesto "El Gallo" <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Gamez</span> to resign from the Greater Brownsville Incentive Corporation since he refuses to attend meetings as long as Ruben "El <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Gargajo</span>" Gallegos Jr. remains a board member?</strong> I'm not interested in these cock fights. One can make an <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">argument</span> for the entire board resigning or for the entire board staying. Does it make any difference?<br /><br /><strong>You have been seen in the company of Conrado "El <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Colombiano</span>" Cantu, Gilberto "Hooters" <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">Hinojosa</span>, "<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">Boozin</span>'" Bill Hudson, Carlos "El <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">Mago</span>" Marin, Abel "Disable" <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error">Limas</span>, "<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-error">Jumpin</span>'" Jim Solis, Eddie "<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-error">Panocha</span>" Trevino and Ernie "The Eel" Hernandez among other pernicious characters. Do you <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-error">regret</span> your associations with these blackguards?</strong> I'll drink with anyone. Hell, I'll even share a beer or two with a blogger.<br /><br /><strong>What is your opinion of your colleagues on the city commission?</strong> They respect my experience and expertise. They follow my lead. They understand that I can make or break them. Thus far, they have impressed me with their ability to follow my instructions.<br /><br /><strong>You campaigned on the platform that revitalizing downtown was one of your top priorities. From Jim Barton at Mean Mister Brownsville to Bobby <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-error">Wightman</span>-Cervantes at Brownsville Voice, there has been the sentiment that you are a do-nothing mayor comfortable with your figurehead status. Do you agree or disagree with this assessment?</strong> There is certainly an element of truth to that opinion.<br /><br /><strong>Do you plan to seek reelection?</strong> Fuck no!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8975636851109159442-1880841160686500263?l=downbrowntownnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
