To a space alien coming in from the outer reaches, it might seem as if the San Benito City Manager Manuel de la Rosa is acting as judge and jury that administrates so-called justice to the wrong individuals.
De la Rosa has proven his acumen for doing exactly the opposite things. For example, he fired the EDC Director and turned case over to the PD to investigate criminal activities.
* Results: That case is still there and nothing has resulted, according to the Police Chief Michael Galvan.
Galvan, in turn, was accused by the San Benito Police Officers Association for a dozen or so violations of police policy and conduct unbecoming. evidence indicates he may have lied under oath in a mediation hearing, and some fellow officers have said that he sexually harassed a female officer and was laughing when he was touching her inappropriately.
* Results?: Nothing done by City Manager.
A police office arrested for DUI and other charges.
* Results: No Action taken by City Manager.
And San Benito's Fire Chief Raul Zuniga, with 30 plus years of dedicated service, is under a cloud accused of some violation that has not been made public. The Police Chief’s private recordings verify that De la Rosa and Galvan had discussions about him and about his salary and other topics long before this incident.
* Results pending: Reports have surfaced that De la Rosa wants Zuniga to have a demotion and reduction in pay.
Meanwhile the “Three Blind Mice” (Mayor Benjamin Gomez, commissioner Carol Lynn Sanchez, and Rene Villafranco) fully support the De la Rosa. A new kind of justice is evolving in San Benito.

The city manager can suspend the fire chief for some allegations but he can't suspend the police chief for the same. Maybe something like scratch my back and I will scratch yours. POBRESITO San Benito time to get rid of the clowns cause they ain't no CIRCO in town.
Rene Oliveira bad stuff is so much he can fill a blog for years
This sounds like a personal vendetta the city manager has launched on the fire chief. And the taxpayer will pay in the long run. The mayor and Commission have the power and duty to stop the nonsense. Do it for the sake of everyone.
El mayor e commissionarios no tienen Los tanates o cojones para cortale el pinche pedo al gringo nalgaprietas .
So, San Benito seems to have a lack of adult leadership, just like Brownsville.
Yip the mayor and city commission are being bullied a half pint. Very very sad.
And Galvanized people will learn the hard way.
In his re-election run a current city commissioner took a contribution from the law firm that the city attorney works for. Ain't that a big time conflict of interest ? No wonder he wants to keep the city attorney on the city payroll and voted to keep him on. Like they say don't bite the hand that feeds you. Ain't that right R.V.
Well at least the mayor gave up his parking space to the veterans. But wait a minute what else has he done ?
Take note citizens,taxpayers and voters of San Benito of what is going on in Brownsville. A city official recorded private conversations and ill things were said. The San Benito police chief did the same thing. The difference is in Brownsville they are taking care of business. But in San Benito the Mayor, Commission and city manager are turning a blind eye.
What exactly did they take care of? The tapes were only released after the fire chief was demoted as retaliation. Yet everyone else is still sitting exactly where they were.... So what exactly are they handling besides apologies. Open your eyes to reality.
