.............MR. MARTINEZ, TAKE DOWN THIS SIGN!...............

(Ed.'s Note: As if candidates didn't have enough headaches to worry about, we received this photo and an email from a resident at West End Woods Subdivision showing a 4 x 8 sign along placed by  At-Large "A" city commission candidate the Gerardo Martinez on the right-of-way of Stillman Road before it joins Dennet. The resident says that not only is the sign on the right-of-way, but that all signs – unless they're from the developer or his assigns to sell the properties – are prohibited by covenant. We contacted the Martinez campaign and were told that they had received permission from the property owner and were in fact in the process of moving the sign closer to the wood fence behind it. The resident who first contacted us said that it didn't matter if the owner gave permission and that the subdivision's Declaration 6.21 (shown in graphic below) written by Frank Wood of Sanchez, Ellington, Wood and Dijkman, expressly gave the subdivision developer the right to remove any sign that did not comply with it. We passed the info along to the Martinez people but they remain steadfast that they have the permission of the lot owner to have it there. What do you think?

obviously a candidate who doesn't respect our community's homeowner's association rules won't respect the rest of our city. My family won't be voting for you.

Come on Cesar, don't start this trash, run with dignity, and not on negative bullshit.

Jeez, I thought you were another person.

Da mayor placed a voting sign on my vacant lot w/out my permission. He blamed his campaign workers...Er, his politiqueros.

Frank, my boy,

Looks like you need to brush up a bit on your Property Code. To wit:

Sec. 202.009. REGULATION OF DISPLAY OF POLITICAL SIGNS. (a) Except as otherwise provided by this section, a property owners' association may not enforce or adopt a restrictive covenant that prohibits a property owner from displaying on the owner's property one or more signs advertising a political candidate or ballot item for an election:

(1) on or after the 90th day before the date of the election to which the sign relates; or

(2) before the 10th day after that election date.


Hope the Woods End Subdivision has got a good defense attorney on retainer.

All you bandits getting caught with your hands in the cookie jar think it's ok to brush it off by attacking the person you perceive to be pointing out your wrong doing. Maybe there are other citizens who would like to see people who desire to govern us play by the rules. Is this really a problem? Not saying something about it is wrong. It perpetuates mediocrity. It perpetuates stupidity. It perpetuates wrongdoing. WE DON'T WANT AMATEURS GOVERNING US ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!

Query: Is someone who breaks the law negative, or is someone who points out the person who broke the law negative?

Using a blog to report your opponents errors is not campaigning on your own merits. I call that negative campaign. If he is worried about a sign not being placed correctly, then report that to the proper authorities. Why use a blog?

We do not need amateurs to govern us. We need professional bandits to do the job !

Mr. César de León is not running for mayor.

To quote late Pres. "Reagan , Mr. Martinez AKA da mayor, take down that sign". Let your Nacos free. With a stroke he parted the waters of the Río Grand. Text, found in the ancient Naco Scriptures recently discovered in the Grand Resaca of Río Viejo.

The Naco Scrolls have been deciphered. It tells the story of the founding of NACOVILLE . Da Mayor is mentioned disguised as a Lamb in Coyote skins infested with King fleas.
