SAENZ WILL DISPLAY NAME ON BILLBOARDS...AT PUBLIC COST

By Juan Montoya
Up until three months before the March 1, 2016 primaries, voters driving along the major highways in Harlingen and La Feria will see three billboards at a cost of $25,224 compliments of public funds expounding the work against domestic abuse waged by Cameron County District Attorney Luis V. Saenz.
Despite the objections raised by Precinct 3 Commissioner David Garza over the apparent political stock that Saenz might gain over his opponents in the upcoming primaries, Asst. DA Rene Guerra assured them that politics was not behind the erection of the billboards in the northern part of the county.
Garza asked why the billboards could not state that the offenses would be prosecuted by the DA's Office and not have the name of the elected officials featured so prominently on them. Guerra contended that it would be Saenz who was going to prosecute the offenses in court and that the inclusion of his name was appropriate.
Regardless of what fund is used, some argued, the money coming into the DA's Office was public money whether it was generated by forfeitures, fines, or county appropriations.
In the end, with some slight modifications required by the commissioners, they voted to approve Saenz's request to have his name featured prominently on the large billboards.
Saenz has been a prolific public persona who has sought the greatest bang for the buck with a number of issues besides the domestic abuse issue. He also took credit for the capture by the U.S. Marshal's Office of convicted fugitive murderer Amit Livingston in India, the closing of eight-liners arcades, and the forcing of DWI defendants to have their blood drawn if they refuse to blow into a  Breathalyzer.
Guerra did promise that the signs using the roses and the "black and blue" would not be used. Some critics had said the use of the roses and the bars were "weird."

Luis Saenz and his bitch for hire Melissa Hernandez, Camargo, Solis Landin and who knows how many more names we should add are a pair of sin VERGUENZAS. This is an idea of the home wrecker of the PIO officer. The ex journalist that would hunt for topics that misused public funds is doing the thing she would print on others. You are going to lose Luis, and take Mellisa with you...hire her at your practice....sin VERGUENZAS!

One corrupt DA (Rene Guerra) scratching the political back of an incompetent DA (Luis Saenz). Both are Dumbokrats and Saenz is in a campaign which he will likely lose because of his "self promotion". He hired well know "self promotion" expert, Melissa Zamora, to insure that Saenz picture, name and "bigote" would be everywhere. His white shirt and red tie were a part of this "persona" development. The hair on his upper lip was unique....up on one side and down on the other....like the character on the "Get Out of Jail Free" card in Monopoly. DA Saenz has done little during his tenure except promote himself and insert himself into the media. Luis Saenz is a DICK!

Luis is a thief that wants everything for free. Same old same Luis hasn't changed. He's vindictive and will stop at nothing until he gets his way. He won't even pay for pussy we the TAX payers pay for that too! Word is he has something brewing or is constructing,fabricating something against his opponent it's coming so they say in his office. We are paying for all his campaign needs.

Juan, look into Luis gambling and dirty laundry. Look into his associations with undesirables. We know he is not a good person and very soon everybody will because you rip what you sow. His day to answer is coming. Another sad day for Cameron County.....
