THE TIES THAT BIND RENE OLIVEIRA AND MELISSA ZAMORA
---------------------------------------------------------------
<span style="font-weight: normal; ">By </span><b>Juan Montoya<br /><br /></b><div style="font-weight: normal; ">Everyone in town knew that City of Brownsville Commissioner Melissa Zamora and her Elite Promotions had an inside track in running the campaign of Texas State Rep. Rene Oliveira.</div><div style="font-weight: normal; ">But it wasn't until the campaign report for from July to December 2011 was filed that we understood just how tight the rep and the comish really were.</div><div style="font-weight: normal; ">Oliveira's campaign report indicates that his candidacy spent no less than $57,0<img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 336px; height: 253px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiu2CWXRkLlb9Gx17LsyW5kIM0Zj_1YJCtG1okk_OCbVF_H1H9d3_Vi3pwjk_cK4Y1JjGw_OfKOjLZFGwDErJ_SNuCcxpGHJBnw-QHtmQ0i-l5mZlirma42-MUFoIgnhWkmZxbqyfNFVs/s320/rene.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716532382282446786" border="0" />00 with Elite Promotions for everything ranging from designing his billboard signs to Internet websites and social media pages and email marketing.</div><div style="font-weight: normal; ">On Aug, 31, 2011, his report indicates they paid Elite Promotions $27,000 for the design of the billboards, $8,650 for the Internet work on Sept. 29, and and additional $22,525 on Dec. 1 for an extension of the billboard contract through March 6, 2012.</div><div style="font-weight: normal; ">Now, there's no denying that billboard advertising is expensive, but our consultations with local website designers left them drooling over the payments made to Elite for the work performed. Combined with the other "goodwill" donations that the Oliveira campaign has made to local charities, it has left people wondering whether he is trying to buy his way to 30 years in the state legislature.</div><div style="font-weight: normal; ">And now, coming on the brouhaha that resulted when a car owned by the frolicking rep and driven by a girlfriend was involved in a collision and the commissioner was reported by police appe<img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH9fv62JoGFCjGZ3GniX3fz-0DiZDUBP_bsFjeOSbF-XxmmEIqC0mk6SKSSWy028Lc0KR0qkRa70WikvAxsNVLO4R-OrZF5H_yY2KpVVMDaMi0608HSDMFoiCzXoSj3x2goR05ba5u-zA/s200/mellie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716532084408484706" style="float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 159px; height: 198px;" border="0" />aring to intercede for the woman, the relationship is becoming clearer.</div><div style="font-weight: normal; ">Zamora <span style=" ;font-size:100%;" >said on th</span><span style=" ;font-size:100%;" >e Internet that she would step in for her friend anytime. Afterward, it was learned that Rene's car </span><span style=" ;font-size:100%;" >was uninsured when the crash occurred. We're sure that arrangements have already been made to smooth over the matter.</span></div><div><div style="font-weight: normal; ">But something that won't be smoothed over so easily is the notice of federal tax lien that the IRS filed against Elite Promotions last Oct. 28, 2011 for $11,602 dating back to Dec. 31, 2007. Other tax ending periods where unpaid balance of assessments are listed are March 31, 2010, June 30, Dec. 31, and March 31, 2011.</div><div style="font-weight: normal; ">First we learn that Rene didn't pay for car insurance for his car that was driven by a woman charged with DWI, and now we learn that Zamora's company is a tax scofflaw. What else lies hidden in the closet?</div><div style="font-weight: normal; "> </div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6016803033174468094-5547766494936497372?l=rrunrrun.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
