ONCE BITTEN FOR ILLEGAL SIGN, TREVINO STILL NOT SHY

By Juan Montoya
Those of us who had the pleasure of knowing politiquero par excellance Jorge Briones (Peace Be with him) were treated to some esoteric political humor as we went thtough the local election process.
Whether it was city, county, school board, the port, the college, or even state and national elections, Jorge was the kind of guy who could worm his way into the confidences of most candidates and make them believe his efforts were mainly responsible for getting them eelcted.
To that end, he was the master of the dirty trick. Well, not so dirty, perhaps cunning.
At debates where people from the audience would pass around papers with questions for the candidates, he would make sure he was at the end of the line where he could remove questions that might have been embarassing for those he was supporting and remove them unbeknownst to the moderators.
This, of course, delighted his candidates to no end. More tnah once, candidates to judgeships, law enforcement and judicial races would be invited to dine at his home wher ehe lived with his mother and his wife Aurorita (peace be with them as well). His photo albums were filled with politicians and celebrities from both side sof the border.To make the long story short, he never missed a beat.Jorge used to tell a joke in Spanish about the United Nations sending international observers who were sent to monitor presidential elections in Mexico. I forget what sexenio it was, but it went something like this.
The elections observer from Argentina was a woman named Viola Casillas (Voting Booth Violator), the two Japanese observers were Sibotas Yoro and Tekito Tuboto (If You Vote and I'll Cry and I Will Take Your Vote. From Iran came Ayatole Koneldedo (no translation other than they'll play you), and from France Pierre d' tu Votto (I'll Lose Your Vote), Tumbo Tuboto (I'll Dump Your Vote) from South Africa, and from Vietnam Ho Dang Tse (Jodanse). Funny as that was, Jorge never repeated a joke if he knew he had alsready told it before to particular listeners.
Now we hear that one of our local politicians doesn't know that playing the same trick doesn;t go over well.
We had reported here before about the illegal sign that supporters of Democratic Party runoff candidate for Cameron Coun ty Judge Eddie Treviño had placed in front of the Central Public Library which was cited by the city's inspectors. The sign was larger than 4' X 8' adn was placed on a trailer without license plates or a tractor attached to it.
Now we have come upon yet another Treviño sign chained to a city light post and obstructing the right-of-way in front of Cobbleheads. It, too has caught the attention of the city guys and a red sign notifying the owner of the violation is also attached to it. (See graphic above.)
In the case of the first trialer, since early voting was over when the citation was issued, it turned out to be moot. In the case of the second one, it'll probably end up as a no-cause as well since today is the last day to vote in those raaces until November. Without a Republican opponent, whoever wins today will have the coast clear to become county judge.
Some people never learn, we guess.
Or as Jorge used to say when he was telling his joke: Why was Eddie so confident of the result? Vaclav Arselo (He is Going to Steal It). 
 Because one of the elections observers is from the Czech Republic. His name? Vaclav Arselo (He is Going to Steal It).

Eddie Trevino is a product of his gender and times. When he was rising as a lawyer, men of his generation had to put on the most professional face every minute - unlike the Anglos around them. Men weren't rewarded for being fun loving and human - you had to prove that you could work twice as hard as the White Man just to stay even. Luckily, those times have changed, but these habits run deep. Eddie Trevino is in his own way running a Modern Pachuco campaign. Let him, Juan. You remember those days.

Hays County Certificates Awarded

(Kyle, TX) The Hays County Adult Education Center announced this semester's recipients of General Education Development Certificates. All of the candidates completed 4 subsets of tests in English/language, math/science, reading and geography.

The awardees were Eddie Bowlcutt of Kyle, Imperial H. Martinez of Barf Springs, Brenda Purdygood of Kyle and Edward Paws-Marteenez of Road Kill.

The G.E.D. is the equivalent of a high school diploma in the United States and Canada.
