SETTING WIGHTMAN STRAIGHT...IF THAT'S POSSIBLE

"...Albert J. Holl, was the attorney representing BISD, not Baltazar Salazar. So why did Montoya lie? Hell he could not tell the truth and say Art Rendon just cost the district another $175,000, through his incompetence - that would make Cata and Luci look bad."
Blogger Robert Wightman

By Juan Montoya
We don't usually make it a point here to go tit-for-tat with vexatious writer and legal malinger Robert Wightman, but we were told that he had written that we were liars when we had criticized Brownsville Independent School District general counsel Blatazar Salazar for the district's loss in the Whistleblower Act lawsuit brought against it by former bus driver Alfredo Sobrevilla.
We did no such thing, and in fact, pointed out that it wasn't Baltazar representing the district., but merely keeping an eye on the case.
The post included the context of our chance meeting with Salazar where he made indecorous entreaties that we have our picture taken together so that he could send it to Wightman and make him believe there was some kind of conspiracy between us.
We wrote: "The courtroom was empty of spectators and a witness was on the stand. Salazar made a beeline to where I was sitting on an aisle chair and took the one next to mine. After a while, he engaged me in small talk about whether I had worked at the Herald with his sister Melba, that the next witness was going to make some strong revelations against the bus driver, that John Shergold and Larry Warner were always bringing weak cases against the BISD, that Judge Lopez was doing a good job keeping the testimony focused, etc.
All this was said in hushed whispers and I could see that Judge Lopez could hear some of it and turned in our direction once or twice.
The Salazar said: "Hey, Bro, you ought to let me take a picture of me and you together so I could sent it to (Bobby) Wightman so he can think there's a conspiracy going on,"
I couldn't believe what I was hearing and I told him I thought Wightman was crazy and the last thing I wanted was my picture with him in that blog.
He then said: "Hey, Bro, what if I took our picture and put a $100 bill in front so he can think I was paying you off? You got to let me do it, Bro."
I could see the testimony and the conversation was eroding and I told him as much and left.
I though that was weird that the BISD legal counsel (even in jest) was making such ridiculous propositions but only told a few people who were also surprised at the lawyer's banter.
Salazar thought the bus driver didn't have a case against the BISD and I later found out that the jury had awarded him something like $175,000 in the case. Granted, much of it would go to Shergold and Warner and to the BISD lawyers defending the district, but it was a victory nonetheless, proving Salazar wrong. He was obviously having a bad day and even though he wasn't the lawyer representing the district in the case, he was the general counsel to keep an eye on district cases there."
Alright. Now, where is the narrative did we say that Salazar was representing the BISD?
We didn't. However, it has become abundantly clear that Wightman has some kind of obsession with this blog and that anyone associated with it automatically becomes his target. Notice the photos of those arch criminals he has listed on his site.
Let's see. He has Catalina Presas-Garcia, Alex Dominguez, Mary Esther Garcia and Sofia Benavides, and (now missing) Municial Judge Ben Neece.
What do these people have in common besides being El Rrun-Rrun's friends? Presas-Garcia won an election as a BISD trustee, as did Alex Dominguez as Cameron County commissioner for Pct. 2 and Mary Esther Garcia as JP 2-2 and her mother Sofia Benavides as Pct. 1 commissioner despite the vitriol and bad will of this misanthrope blogger. In other words, the people ignored Wightman and elected them to represent them.
Aside from that, Dominguez and Neece are successful lawyers as is Alex Begum, another frequent target of the envious-driven Wightman, a disbarred lawyer.
This man – aside from proving he's an artless liar – is being poisoned by his own hate. Is there anyone he likes besides Ernie and Erin Hernandez?

The logo for BISD should be a "cork screw"....it most represents the management and administration in that aledged academic organization. Nothing seems to go "Wright" there. The students are ignorant, the faculty thrives on "following the leaders" no on teaching. Thus, the kids graduate illiterate in two languages and require more tax dollars for remediation at TSC.

I eas thinking about this after I saw the Herald article about yhe the trial. It said BISD lost, but that's not the way to look at it. BISD is going to appeal. That means more money spent on lawyers, and for the people at the top of the school district, that's winning, baby.
