POLITICAL CAMPAIGN SIGNS VANDALISM GETTING BRAZEN

(Ed.'s Note: The vandals defacing the various political candidates' signs across town are getting even more brazen. Apart from vandalizing signs at some of the most traveled intersections and thoroughfares Brownsville, they have now struck at the signs in some of the best lit places like the one above at Capt. Bob's Restaurant where they painted the horns and whiskers on the JP Mary Esther Sorola sign placed below the marquee.

The intersection of Paredes and Price roads is one of the most heavily traveled here and we wonder when they did their dirty work and no one saw them. It is possible that either Dairy Queen, Capt. Bob's or some of the businesses across the street may have had surveillance cameras on and captured the culprits. In fact, the Brownsville Independent School District's main building is next door. For her part, the candidate said that after the first round of vandalism and the expense associated with removing and repairing the sings, she is just going to let things be and let the police do their work.

The cost to the candidates is considerable. They must pay for the manpower (or is it person power?)  associated with removing and repairing the signs and then erect them on the same places again. At $30 a sign to replace each one, it adds up to real money pretty quick. Why Sorola has been targeted is anyone's guess since so far no one has filed against her. But then again, logic has nothing to do with this, does it?)

The price for running for political office in Brownsville and Cameron County. Even if these acts were in broad daylight, most citizens are not likely to get involved. They know that if is done by teens, nothing will be done and no one is likely to be charged or penalized. Just young "terrorists" training for their future and protected by their parents.

Who does not like Mary Esther right now? I give you three guesses and the first two don't count. Would you think that "she" would be responsible for that? For real?
