For someone used to do pretty much as he damn well pleased while counsel for the board of the Brownsville Public Utilities, Eduardo (Pee-Wee to his friends) Rodriguez got the message we put out in a hurry.
An anonymous writer instructed us (and Pee-Wee, too, it seems) on the legal niceties that the Texas Election C
ode requires of candidates for public office. Apparently, the code deems it a misdemeanor to place signs for a position which 
the candidate does not currently hold without stating he is running"for" it. In other words, Pee-Wee could not just place his name and the position without stating he's a candidate "for" it.As you can see in the be"for" and "after" examples, someone (maybe his ad agency or sign painters?) realized they had goofed (the candidate above who has the final say on campaign literature?) and hurried the day after we published the post placing stickers on the signs that were already on the ground.
We wonder, will the thousands of pushcards and other campaign literature already printed and handed out also be changed?

Montoya what did you do to the tribune, they picked up and left. From one day to the next, what a shame. Glad you are still here, keep exposing the corruption and all the crazy things the people do in Brownsville.
The tribune was doing a good job to, they were trying to raise the concious of the poeple of South Texas. Do you have a mission statement???
I know your blog exposes a lot of corruption, thank you for your work.
