FIREFIGHTERS WREST BACK UNION CONTROL FROM CHIEF



Special to El Rrun-Rrun
The union elections for new officers of the Brownsville Firefighter Association Local #970 has seen the anti-Chief Carols Elizondo faction – himself a precious union president – wrest back control for its members.

Since his appointment as chief, Eliozondo had installed the officers and once he accepted being chief, elections forced out his majority on the board.

Initial results indicate that Lt. Jorge Lerma is the new union president, Capt. Margarito Gracia will be the next vice president and Mario Guerrero, an Asst. Chief who also won, will fill out the new union leadership. Guerrero was bypassed in promotion when the city administration with Elizondo's blessing, gave it to Ernie Estrada, a firefighter with close ties to city manager Charlie Cabler.

There are only partial results and the totals have not been canvassed.

Was that Capt. Bob buying a big bottle of Advil at HEB. Oh, he was with McHale.

One of these days promoting friends, relatives and family is going to cost some lives. It is careless and repugnant to believe that quality should be overlooked for "other" reasons. Shame on the city and out city officials for allowing these hiring and firing procedures to exist.

Wasn't Advil the captain was buying, was Preparation H.

Firefighters - and the chief - are wusses. PeeDee boys can kick their asses any day of the week.

Capt. Bob (who should change his title to pirate Bob) is a drunk looking for a fight. The cry baby gets into all sorts of problems then cries about them. I wouldn't doubt he would need a big bottle of advil.

Agree with anonymous of the 18th at 12:45 A.M. Is it true that la cara de wienne want to run for Lucio, Jr's or Oliviera's position. WHEN?
Let's get her out of BISD, la ditto de Silvia. She does not speak for herself now. Oh, how Caty is missed porque con ella no jugaban como
con la Minnie Winnie. Not soon enough for the next elections.
