MAMANDO Y DANDO TOPES: UTB CABRITOS HAS A NICE RING TO IT
---------------------------------------------------------------
<div><br /><div>By <strong>Juan Montoya</strong></div><br /><div>It has now become a <em>Brownsville Herald</em> front-page question (and online Facebook discussion) on what the new mascot for the University of Texas (nee UTB-TSC) should be.</div><br /><div>Never mind the massacre in Syria, the Pope's visit in Cube with Fidel, or the Supreme Court's impending decision on Obama's health care reform. What is of vital importance to us here in Brownsville is what beast, weather calamity, or standard-bearer will be named mascot of the fledgling UTB once TSC rids itself of its abusive mate.</div><br /><div>There are names thrown about that want to give the school's new team names like the "Cavalry," the "Knights," "Trailblazers," "Guardians, "Vaqueros," etc.</div><br /><div>Then there are others that favor local fauna such as "Sharks," "Barracuda<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2blq-lbksn3Y0XeD6yCSrU8MtEPuFE-N2EHoon_SxJoh_pFgFp7jx0CrPy5ow1-Tc8qoFsijYDh5OC8lvYII2SsazY7ys-MLuEKM9rJydhU7JV9dkPOsbJA8L1fKuILG6DVR_-pMPHQQ/s1600/cabrito1.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 219px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5725359052737184834" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2blq-lbksn3Y0XeD6yCSrU8MtEPuFE-N2EHoon_SxJoh_pFgFp7jx0CrPy5ow1-Tc8qoFsijYDh5OC8lvYII2SsazY7ys-MLuEKM9rJydhU7JV9dkPOsbJA8L1fKuILG6DVR_-pMPHQQ/s320/cabrito1.jpg" /></a>s," "Toros," even such eco-friendly ones like "Sea Turtles, "Texas Tortoises," "White-Tailed Deer," Ocelots," "Armadillos," and the like.</div><br /><div>We had once suggested that the UT Blood Ticks would bespeak to the parasitic character of the UTB versus TSC, but now that the university seems to have resigned itself to go off on its own, we feel we must withdraw that suggestion in favor of something with a more local flavor.</div><br /><div>Even though we can see how names like the "Cavalry," "Vaqueros," and "Trailblazers," may seem apropos given the history of the area (Ft. Brown, the start of the Chisholm Trail, the route of the (18) 49ers headed for the gold fields of California), a new institution may not be well served by a throwback to the past.</div><br /><div>Likewise, naming a football or baseball team after a sea critter, a burrowing animal or Bambi wouldn't quite strike fear into the hearts of their opponents on the field or arena.</div><br /><div>We suggest something easily identifiable with the region, a favorite of visitors to the border, and an animal that is at the same time identifiable with the naval character of our seacoast. The Navy, of course, has Bill, the Goat. We would never name a mascot "Bill," translated into Spanish as "Cobro," as in "<em>ya llego el cobro</em>" at the beginning of the month.</div><br /><div>No, we wold instead choose "<em>Los UTB Cabritos</em>."</div><br /><div>Think about it. </div><br /><div>Tourists and visitors from throughout Texas and the United States come to the border to enjoy the succulence of baby goats grilled over burning coals. And, at the outset of any new school, any established team would eat this team up alive. One can almost imagine the Seguin Bulldog players saying: "Hey, it's going to be <em>papita</em> playing UTB, we'll be having Cabrito today."</div><br /><div>However, you can't beat a goat for foraging the semi-arid plains of South Texas.

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>

He would listen to all voices in the community but would always particularly seek out and listen to the voices of the disenfranchised that were seldom heard or had little power.<br />As a Bi-National planner Albert was loved and respected for his success in building<br />partnerships to strengthen the economies and improve the quality of life for people on<br />both sides of the border.<br />Albert was also a gifted teacher who had great passion for both his students and his<br />subject matter. He always held high expectations for his students and, because they knew<br />how deeply he cared for them, they seldom disappointed him.<br />He carried this passion with him to Texas Southmost College where he believed in<br />every fiber of his being that the community college was the door of opportunity to a<br />new and better life, particularly for those who had limited access to higher education.<br />He also carried this passion to his position as Executive Director of the Border College<br />Consortium.

His commitment, however, was always to the students and he had<br />no tolerance for any administrator, faculty or staff person who took their role and position<br />Even in retirement, his commitment to helping poor students have opportunities in<br />higher education is evidenced by his working to establish the Santa Cruz Men’s Club<br />Scholarship Fund.</span></span></span></div><div><span><span><span >We learned last night that the name of the scholarship fund was to be changed to the Albert Besteiro Memorial Fund.

It was said that<br />sometimes people going into this area would disappear and not be heard from again. On<br />this particular trip he recruited a man who lived in this area to be his guide.

And so this taciturn guide came down and made a tremendous effort to carry Albert back to his simple abode where the wife used native plants to heal his wounds, fight the infections and calm his fever. They cared for him until he was well enough to return home.<br />Albert was remarkable in so many ways and one of the biggest blessings in my life was<br />the day he appeared at my office at the University of New Mexico.

A couple of years later Albert<br />served as best man and Ollie as Maid of Honor at our wedding and that made our joy<br />One of the things that I miss most is Albert’s incredible sense of humor and his infectious<br />laughter. He had this magical ability to enter a room of strangers and somehow instantly<br />transform them into friends.</span></span></span></div><div><span><span><span >Another unique aspect of Albert was his ability to always surprise you and often in the most unusual circumstances. In the early 80’s while I was in Washington D. C.. working with another dear friend of Albert’s, Manny Justiz, I received a call from Ollie that Albert’s heart condition had worsened and that they were going to do open heart surgery the next day. I told her I would come immediately and caught the next flight to Houston.</span></span></span></div><div><span><span><span >We were all worried and concerned as five-way bypass surgery was still a relatively new surgical procedure at that time. Ollie and I stayed with Albert in the preop room and, then after they put him on the gurney and were about to wheel him into the operating room, he reached out and took Ollie’s hand and mine.</span></span></span></div><div><span><span><span >While holding them he said: “Ollie, as Paul is our witness, I want you to promise two things before I go into surgery. First, if I survive the surgery, I want you to promise that you will stop always exchanging the gifts I give you. Second, if I don’t survive, I don’t want you to pay the doctor."<br />We are all blessed to have been touched by this man whose entire life was committed<br />to making things better for others. He had a kind, humble and generous spirit. He was a<br />loving husband, father, grandfather and a loyal friend. He also was a man of deep faith<br />who was without guile or deceit.<br />We all know that Albert is in heaven now. No intermediate steps for Albert for he was<br />a pure soul and his whole life has been dedicated to making things better for people. We<br />thank God that we were the fortunate ones who were able to share his life.</span></span></span></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6016803033174468094-4313192844872170560?l=rrunrrun.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>

BISD VS. JUAREZ ON; JUDGE ASKS BISD FOR FORENSIC AUDIT EVIDENCE
---------------------------------------------------------------
<span style="font-weight: normal; ">By</span><b> Juan Montoya</b><div style="font-weight: normal; ">Not only did the lawsuit filed by the former Chief Financial Officer against four Brownsville Independent School District trustees go on as planned, but the district was also ordered to produce the entire findings of the recently completed forensic audit performed on the district.</div><div style="font-weight: normal; ">Judge Andrew Hanen set Aug. 30 as the date for the parties to begin jury selection in the lawsuit filed by Antonio Juarez. Two trustees currently on the board â€" Rolando Aguilar and Joe Colunga â€" as well as as two former ones, Rick Zayas and Ruben Cortez, will have to answer the charges as individuals that they violated the rights of the former financial chief after they disagreed with his recommendations on the district's Stop-Loss insurance contract. </div><div style="font-weight: normal; ">Hanen had previously denied the defendants' motion for a summary judgement giving them qualified immunity for their actions on the case. They appealed to the Fifth Court of Appeals and lost. A further motion for a rehearing was not granted by the appeals court without comment.</div><div style="font-weight: normal; ">The district is also charged in the lawsuit.</div><div style="font-weight: normal; ">More tellingly, perhaps, Hanen said he would allow the plaintiff to amend his original complaint to include potential charges of conspiracy against the four and other district employees. He also said he would allow the plaintiff''s lawyers to depose other parties that may have been injured by the actions of the defendants.</div><div style="font-weight: normal; ">"If this case goes forward, it'll lay bare the way the former majority operated," said an attorney acquainted with the Juarez case. "The fact that he ordered the district to produce the entire port, and not just the executive summary leaves all possibilities open."</div><div style="font-weight: normal; ">Juarez, as you will remember is the former CFO who went to the feds after several of the defendants had previous superintendent Hector Gonzales remove him from his position after he recommended the wrong insurance company.</div><div style="font-weight: normal; ">The defendants were expecting him to recommend the company whose local agent of record was Johnny Cavazos, their benefactor.</div><div style="font-weight: normal; ">Instead, Juarez refused to play along with the defendants and went to the FBI with tape recordings where he was being persuaded on behalf of the four to blame Gonzales for the recommendation. In short, he argued, he was being counseled to use the district's grievance process and give the former board majority the justification to terminate the former superintendent.<br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div><div style="font-weight: normal; "><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6016803033174468094-7950630178186495541?l=rrunrrun.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>

LOADED WORDS: WHAT IN TARNATION IS HOLGAZANEAR?
---------------------------------------------------------------
<div>By <strong>Juan Montoya</strong></div><br /><div>In the Spanish to English online dictionary, the word "holgazanear" is defined as "to idle, laze or loaf around."</div><br /><div>The word was contained in a translation of an English-language letter written to all BISD bus drivers by Transportation Department administrator Art Rendon.</div><br /><div>The offending clause said in English: "BISD school buses are not to be used by employees to loiter in once they have finished their routes Employees may not use a bus t<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAOrfCNzSDChx-T9AtEpbX1BtP3FWVgo7r1Nai-0dqJ877uhLF_Gaqt1RICIgrpcR1f1QON75rHh7KUv5rdC7ZGqbajm4Zkc_zIGGtyZRU4JGOgCpFQ0XxKtIOhQT0v5J8dQNfYScSQ3U/s1600/bus.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5725011739119587810" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAOrfCNzSDChx-T9AtEpbX1BtP3FWVgo7r1Nai-0dqJ877uhLF_Gaqt1RICIgrpcR1f1QON75rHh7KUv5rdC7ZGqbajm4Zkc_zIGGtyZRU4JGOgCpFQ0XxKtIOhQT0v5J8dQNfYScSQ3U/s320/bus.jpg" /></a>o visit with coworkers."</div><br /><div>The Spanish translation stated: "<em>Los autobuses escolares del distrito no deberan ser utilizados por los empleados para holgazanear cuando ya hayan terminado sus rutas. Los empleados no deben de ir a otros autobuses para visitara sus compañeros de trabajo."</em></div><br /><div>Even though the word "loiter" in one form does mean "<em>holgazanear"</em> in formal Spanish, the connotations associated with it differ from person to person. In the case of the bus drivers, many apparently took the word to mean that they were loafers or did not possess the work ethic or the will to work. In other words, <em>"maltrabaja."</em></div><br /><div>This is quite different than the relatively neutral "loiter," or "hang out" that do not impugn the character or values of the subject. </div><br /><div>Why Rendon or his assistants chose to use that loaded word in the missive titled "Guidelines for clocking in and clocking out/Other General Procedures" is beyond us, but apparently the drivers and their supporters were not pleased.</div><br /><div>Lost in the translation (if you will) were other parts of the letter that did not belabor the point. For example, the administration was not cutting the number of hours to 32, but rather, as was stated in the letter, guaranteed 32 works weekly. It did, however, proscribe the manner of clocking and and out when the routes were over to deter unauthorized accumulation of hours not worked.</div><br /><div>Additionally, the letter prohibited drivers from "engaging in games of chance or pyramid schemes during working hours or on district property. The collection or solicitation of money by one employee to another for the purpose of promoting games of chance or pyramid schemes is prohibited."</div><br /><div>Just what is that referring it to?, we wonder. Is it actually gambling, or the locally popular <em>"tanda,"</em> where pools of investors (say 10) chip in a set amount ($20) every week and then take turns getting $200 when their place on the rotation comes around?</div><br /><div>Or is it office pools like those collected in the March Madness in college basketball or "porras" during the Dallas Cowboys season?</div><br /><div>Regardless, the missive also prohibited sexual harassment or other behavior leading to a hostile work environment, washing the buses outside the scheduled washing rotations, taking a bus anyway after a cancellation had been posted, etc. </div><br /><div>The district noted that drivers are assured of 32 hours of employment each week including benefits such as free health coverage and paid days for vacation, illness and holidays. There are also opportunities to earn additional and overtime pay for student trips when necessary, the district said in a prepared statement.</div><br /><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6016803033174468094-6276666389268680292?l=rrunrrun.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>

IT LIVES! CORTEZ RUNNING FOR TEXAS BOARD OF EDUCATION
---------------------------------------------------------------
By <strong>Juan Montoya</strong><br /><br />We heard about the recent fundraiser and "greet and meet" that former Brownsville Independent School District trustee Ruben Cortez held at the popular eatery Ricardo's.<br />We also know that Cortez is currently named in at least two pending federal lawsuits where the plaintiffs â€" former Superintendent Hector Gonzalez and former Chief Financial Officer Tony Juarez â€" have charged him along with the former majority (Rolando Aguilar, Rick Zay<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrXh_nomSxMyJFrKjHF-w_CorDNzDEZK94oBf4UAtbCd1XP0CbKIdBVgtM6XSmm-FT7I55KAzo-4kFqWjHopQk-g4c08EZDMjtbS7DIQ3SP1WelPhyCEFG5_OBZwjQA63hyCUYFVFPPDo/s1600/cortez-ruben.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 138px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5724982148044806002" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrXh_nomSxMyJFrKjHF-w_CorDNzDEZK94oBf4UAtbCd1XP0CbKIdBVgtM6XSmm-FT7I55KAzo-4kFqWjHopQk-g4c08EZDMjtbS7DIQ3SP1WelPhyCEFG5_OBZwjQA63hyCUYFVFPPDo/s200/cortez-ruben.jpg" /></a>as, and Joe Colunga) with retaliation and filed Whistle blower Act lawsuits claiming retaliation and firing as a result.<br />In at least another lawsuit filed against the former majority the BISD has opted to settle with former Special Needs Director Art Rendon for his termination by the four and the district for going to the federal authorities with evidence that when the four asked him to turn a blind eye to alleged wrongdoing, he refused and went to the FBI instead.<br />Ditto for Juarez.<br />Because of redistricting, all 15 seats on the Texas State Board of Education will be up for grabs in the November 2012 elections.<br />District 2, serves the counties of Aransas, Calhoun, Cameron, Goliad, Jackson, Kenedy, Kleberg, Matagorda, Nueces, Refugio, San Patricio, Victoria, Wharton and Willacy, as well as parts of Hidalgo County.<br />And guess who's running for the seat now held by Mary Berlanga of Corpus Christi who has announced she will not seek reelection?<br />None other than our own Ruben Cortez, who was soundly defeated in the 2010 elections where the electorate threw out his business partner Zayas and rejected the candidacy of Otis Powers who tried to make a comeback.<br />In his statement to the Texas Freedom Network, Cortez states that:<br />“I believe in a common sense approach. We must keep politics out of the classroom and this includes textbooks."<br />Now, to all of us that are acquainted with Ruben, this is hilarious. If ever there was a political animal, that would be Ruben. His mom Linda used to be on the BISD school board and is now running for reelection as a Justice of the Peace. His partner and him now hold the commissary contract at the Cameron County Jail and until there was an outcry in the local newspaper, were awarded the contract without the benefit of competitive bidding. It just so happened that his cousin was chief deputy at the sheriff's department.<br />They still hold the contract and rake in more than $500,000 a year from their captive audience and charge prices to the prisoners twice or three times what they could buy from local retailers.<br />In the Rendon lawsuit, sworn depositions indicate that Cortez forced the administration there to overlook the fact that the application period for a position in the department had expired and insisted that they hire his relative. After browbeating (and with three witnesses present), he got his relative hired.<br />Meanwhile, the Juarez case where he alleges bid-rigging on an insurance contract and the abuse of the grievance process to terminate employees using one against the other is ongoing. So is the Gonzales case where the principals allege that Cortez and the others conspired to fire both men (Juarez and Gonzales when they didn't get their way on the insurance contract).<br />And still lurking out there are the allegations that Cortez has been delinquent on his property taxes for years. In fact, expect more on this topic as we clear up the mess involving his purchase of a home from among properties forfeited by the local D.A.<br />And this is the guy who wants us to elect him to the Texas State Board of Education?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6016803033174468094-6376651149243997760?l=rrunrrun.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
