No sooner had we published the latest posting on the misspelling of a word (progess instead of progress) on Brownsville Navigation District's chairman Carlos R. Masso's political signs, that the good chairman
sent back a salvo of pictures on other transgressors.
This time it was political gadfly Moses Sorola who is challenging his fellow board member Martin Arambula and his cohort and fellow "contra" Argelia Miller, who is running against Masso.
Masso correctly pointed out that the signs of both candidates lack the necessary word "for," to indicate that both are running "for" the positions and not leave the impression that they currently hold the office.
"I guess I missed that one when I looked at the proofs for my signs," wrote the BND chairman in response to the unfortunate oversight. "That was my mistake. At least my signs are not in violation of the election code. My opponent failed to include the "for" before the position she is seeking and she failed to include the "right-of-way" notice. Let's see you do a story on that."
Point well taken, Mr. Masso.
We understand that – as was the case with Eddie "Pee-Wee" Rodriguez's signs in the TSC race – the violation does carry some penalties under the election code.
If you look at the offending signs closely you can tell that – except for the names – the design and materials are exactly the same. Knowing Ms. Miller, she probably had Mr. Sorola foot the bill to get a volume price.
Given the forecast of a week of rain in the city, we expect that few of the signs will survive a steady downpour.
Now, given the poor chances that both candidates are given to actually upset Messrs. Masso and Arambula, does anyone really have the heart to complain to the Texas Secretary of State?

Leaders with the Catholic Church have reassigned the longtime general manager for the Rio Grande Valley’s PBS station.
After 15 years of service, Monsignor Pedro Briseño has been reassigned to full-time parish ministry at his current parish Immaculate Heart of Mary in Harlingen.
The Diocese of Brownsville owns the Public Broadcasting Service affiliate.
The recently-installed Bishop Daniel Flores made the announcement of Briseño’s reassignment on Tuesday morning.
In a prepared statement, Flores said the growth of the Catholic Church in the Valley makes it necessary for more of the clergy to be assigned to full-time parish work.
Flores said he and the entire diocese are grateful for Monsignor’s expertise and his fifteen years of selfless service to the field of telecommunications.
“He can be proud of the growth and maturation of RGV Educational Broadcasting over the time of his presidency,” Flores said in the statement.
Flores informed the RGV Educational Broadcasting board of directors about his decision at their Monday board meeting.
The board appointed former KMBH Chief Engineer John Ross as interim president and general manager.
The board of director will be conduct a search for a permanent replacement for Briseño.
Bishop Flores met with KMBH staff on Tuesday morning to announce the change.
Your stories are old, how about new ones.
Let's all vote for Argelia Miller and for Moses Sorola.
