While we continue to spend thousands of dollars to build Brownsville Mayor at least three new offices, pay his buddies millions for downtown buildings and real estate with future debt, continue to give away valuable properties to the oil-and-gas rich UT System, our poorest people who use mass transit have to wait for the bus like this.
We are even racking up a bill at $39,000 (and climbing) to move a shack someone said belonged to Charles Stillman, the biggest Robber Baron of them all.
We have paid tens of thousands to outside consultants and "experts" to tell us that we need better streets, better sidewalks, and other common sense things that the average municipality needs. And we continue to pay an ethics-challenged city contract attorney hundreds of thousands of dollars to tell the city commission how to get away with not following the law when it comes to freedom of speech at city meetings, how to dole out lucrative contracts without going out for proposals to politically-aligned cronies, and give away the people's hard-earned money ($25,000 a year) to a shadow organization known as United Brownsville that is accountable to no one.
They bring in technocrats who talk about making Brownsville another Austin, San Antonio or Houston.
I once read a book called "The Shame of Cities." They could have used the photo above for its cover.

HELLO it's how democRATS elites roll. The dirty little secret is the RICH democRATS enrich and protect themselves. You people who vote for these assholes are just using you all and BUY you with a pachanga y un pollito asado LMAO LMAO LMAO
WAKE UP PENDEJOS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't forget the Space-X tax breaks to a company owned by a billionaire. Please do ask Antonio how he determined the value of Casa de Nylon at over 2 million? Where is documentation?
What's the cvb doing, I wonder...
Pos they say that el putete de ayala at the information center is no better than the other crook before him who stole big bucks from marketing monies, his organization knows shit about holding him accountable; he learned good from his predecesor and former chairs Gwen Benton now in jail from screwing the Yturrias, and George Gavito another crook involved with Limas racketeering case, Juan see if Ayala shares how he is spending tax payers monies to promote the few city's attractions for winter Texans, if there is budget money left after his fat salary, don't you agree Charlie?
The bus that is supposed to pick up my friend is never on time and has Ieft us stranded after dark. It sucks, it just literally sucks.. Downtown decays a little more each day.
What do snowbirds see? The see a place that
has shitty parking, rundown stores and
nasty old men cruising the streets for $10 blowjobs, that's what they see.
Really people? All the winter visitors see in Brownsville is all the corruption that is going on in Brownsville. At the courthouse, BISD, on and on. It never ends. We're just like the politicians of Mexico, but at least Mexico is discreet about the corruption. Here its done in the faces of everybody and we are ok with it...
juan nothing but a bunch of thiefs, snakes and rats, all inth ename of progress and economic development or so they say even at BISD school board, they always say "its for the children" the future etc etc etc, thats just a plain bunch of bull, its for my pocket and nada mas. Period
It is interesting to watch McAllen, Harlingen and other Valley communities grow and prosper while Brownsville swirls down the toilet bowl; throwing money away along the way.
Browntown, Always a Fiesta!..
Always a Fiesta! It sounds retarded far from reality
clean those pinche curbs up and put some damn bus benches in already.. at least on the major throughfares that out of towners see!!!
There's an expression in Spanish, "toma chango tu banana"; I attended a crapy party to winter visitors offered by the Brownsville information center, it reflects the poor way Brownsville appreciates snow birds, I heard the guy in charge was a penny pinched, no margaritas served like other upper valley locations...
You fuckers have it all wrong, not true, the "Barrio Boy" Ayala is well renowned to wine and dine at ease with tax payer’s money; expensive dinners and expensive alcohol (not wine – he is not that refined), before proceeding with fucking the cunt off; heard in a business trip of his: “I'm going to wine and dine that bitch, she's been asking for it”
