FROM OUR FILES: THE FAJITA CAPER, AUGUST 23, 2017

We swear we're not making this up.
A heretofore reliable source has leaked some salacious morsels about an ongoing investigation by the Cameron County District Attorney's Office on the pilferage of around $1 million by someone at the Juvenile Probation Office who then covered it up with the purchase of – among other things – beef fajitas.

The criminal mind, is, in this county, if anything, maliciously creative.

We haven't learned all the details from the source at the leaky administrative office of the county at Harrison Street but, if we are to judge by the past, the details will filter through the doors in due time.

What we do know is that the DA's Office sent a letter to the county judge and commissioners touching on the subject. Was there anything to it? Or was this a fishing expedition on the DA's part to ferret out leaks? We are making an info request to the county's legal counsel for a copy of the letter.

Some observers find the sending of the letter of particular interest since the juvenile probation office is under the purview of the Board of Judges. Did DA Luis V. Saenz send them the same letter? If not, we wonder why. In the case of former Cameron County Judge Pete Sepulveda's investigation, no such letter was sent to the commissioners court. That makes the sending of the probation office curiouser and curiouser.

Is this bait by George Delaunay, of the DA's Public Integrity Unit, to see if the guilty flee when no one accuseth?

Why the juvenile probation office require the purchase of fajitas for its operation is beyond us. But stay tuned. The fajitas will be done in due time.

The property tax statements finally are out and I will go tomorrow to pay mine. It grinds my ass to pay them because so much of my money will end up in the pockets of crooks, thieves and corrupt politicians.

$1,250,000.00 worth of fajitas stolen over a nine year period! That is $133,000.00 per year to feed only 100 inmates and they didn't even eat them. The auditor, purchase orders, box checking and policies never did a damn thing to catch it. Either some of the money got spread around for people to look the other way, or we have the most incompetent public employees in the world. These fools make me angry and ashamed.

It is time to turn the County back over the the gringos, because they couldn't do any worse. At least, it wouldn't be our own people ripping us off.

Im not an expert, but all foods have a grade.

A very long time ago, I worked at a repacking company sending food to prisons in Texas. Class A and Class B foods would ship to Save-A-Lots and grocery stores.

ALL Class C was for prison.

These were Class C fajitas - or fajita de caballo road kill

I wonder where this meat was being sold after it was delivered to the jail? I bet a lot of it was used for las pachangas done for buying votes. Who ever thought that fajitas would be
on a menu for those people who were being punished for wrong-doing. At HEB's I just take a stroll around the fajita display, sniff and walk out after I check the price on the sticker.
Can't afford but hamburger meat and I have never misbehaved and never given any fajitas unless I splurge once in a while and buy a 1/2 kilo at Bigos for a Sunday meal. Now the DA
is saying they are looking into it to see if charges will be filed. What???? Give those two assistant young ladies at the DA's office that Cesar offended a chance to prove themselves by solving "The Mystery of the Fajita Escapade in Cameron County."

So I guess the purchasing polices in place are not working at all, wonder what other stuff or items county personnel is buying and no one know, well maybe in another 9-10 years they will find out. County commissioners and county judge time to look at those policies ASAP and change them so else well another mess the taxpayers have to foot the bill.
