w government without accountability to the public even though it receives its funding from publicly-funded entities. Now, we were gladdened to hear one of his opponents voicing the same concerns. Edward Camarillo, during a recent candidates' forum, with Carlos Marin in the audience, said just as much. "My only concern is that it (United Brownsville) lacks accountability," he said. This "imagining" and now "unity" does not come cheap. It is the crown diamond of the $900,000 Imagine Brownsville pipe dream that was paid for by the City of Brownsville in the waning days of former Mayor Eddie Treviño's term. It's budget calls for $381,000, of which $206,000 would be in in-kind services that participating entities would provide, including $85,000 for an executive director. The plan also calls for each participating entity to chip in $25,000 each to fund Imagine Brownsville's staff and projects for a yearly total of $175,000. Local entities such as the city, PUB, the school district, college-university, the port, etc., each voted to accept a Memorandum of Understanding with the so-called Comprehensive Planning and Coordination Board (which has itself metamorphed into the Civic Committee for United Brownsville) invented by local banker Fred Rusteberg to impose the will of a shadow government on our city. Ahumada said another $800,000 already spent in city services and staff time should be included in the bill. The plan purports to be a master plan that is expected to guide the community’s growth for the next 10 to 20 years. However, it carries no authority to force local entities to follow it. Ahumada and PUB board member Ramon Hinojosa raised doubts about the scheme to use public money to finance an appointed board of political sycophants and business lackeys. "I asked them how long we were supposed to continue funding those $25,000," Hinojosa asked. "They couldn't tell me. Will it go on for the next 10 or 20 years?" Ahumada , a strong critic of the whole Imagine Brownsville scheme, was even more acerbic in his questioning. He has asked whether public money should be used to fund a body like the committee that is accountable to no one except its members and those who appointed them. "There is no transparency and no accountability in this," he agreed. Imagine Brownsville will be made up of the executive director of each entity (or a nominee by the majority of each) which in turn will appoint a private sector counterpart to form the whole committee. The entities include the Greater Brownsville Incentives Corporation, the Brownsville Community Improvement Committee, the Brownsville Public Utility Board, the Brownsville Navigation District, the Brownsville Independent School District, the University of Texas at Brownsville-Texas Southmost College, and the city. The first three (GBIC, BCIC, and BPUB) are made up of members appointed by the city commission. That group will then oversee the activities of an executive director, a facilitator, a grant coordinator, a legal services staff member, and an administrator assistant. Not all of these entities have agreed to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with United Brownsville to come under its umbrella and fork out $25,000 a year for its operating budget. But, as Hinojosa rightly pointed out, ultimately it's the local taxpayer who will pay for it. "Whether it's the GBIC, the BCIC, of the BPUB, the money is coming out of the same pocket," Hinojosa contended. "It's city taxpayers footing the bill." And, even with a so-called Memorandum of Understanding, the legality of such an entity running roughshod over the entire local governmental landscape is questionable . "They (members) can only recommend," Hinojosa said. "They can't force anyone to follow what they recommend." In fact, City Attorney Mark Sossi said that the so-called Comprehensive Planning and Coordination Board is an "informal" entity and is not subject to the Texas Open Meetings Act. However, plans by this board are already on the boards to guide the social, economical and educational development of this area without public accountability. In other words, local residents or elected governmental bodies cannot hold this shadow group accountable to anyone except for the members of the board itself. Critics also point out that since the Imagine Brownsville "master plan" was not really a planning instrument such as the one in place by the City of Brownsville, it is hard to see how future city commissions can be forced to comply with the goals set forth by this ad-hoc entity. "A real plan includes changes in the codes of the different departments and ordinance changes that must go through the public-hearing process," said a former city planner. "In either of those cases, this Imagine Brownsville master plan doesn't meet those criteria. And aren't we forgetting that the city already has a master plan required by the state and federal governments?" Ahumada contends that the "plan" amounted to an accumulation of existing plans and U.S. Census information. Further, he said that no other entity such as the University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College or the Brownsville Public Utilities Board contributed to its start-up $900,000 cost. The residents of the city are picking up the whole tab and this unelected committee is going to use public funds to operate it," said Ahumada. "Who are they accountable to?" The "plan" is 470-pages long and is a compilation of suggestions held in forums held across the city by its organizers. However, as Emma Perez-Treviño points out in a recent Brownsville Herald article, the CPCB has met to organize its future "coordination" with no public oversight or participation. This is intriguing in that this group's stated aim is to guide the direction of the city's future. It's not like we didn't know what the problems are. We live in a poverty-stricken region. Half our population is English illiterate (if not also Spanish). We can't decide whether we want to become a tourist/service attraction or a manufacturing economy. Our infrastructure is non-existent. Our drainage system harks back to the bygone days of agriculture, when we were satisfied with building ditches to bring in water from the river, not drain it out to the sea. We are content to attract outside industry by giving away our tax base as an incentive and offering our people as cheap labor. And our local university and its administrators have made an industry of giving up our tax base and dumbing down our students. To drum up the fact that only 16 percent of our students graduate from the local university is downright embarrassing. Yet, these folks are held up as paragons of our community and live lavishly while the local taxpayer is further burdened not only with subsidizing their lifestyle, but also subsidizing the wealthiest university system fed by the oil and gas royalties of Texas. So what's our response to these very basic issues? Instead of biting the bullet and going about fixing the problems such as adopting a massive public works project to institute a true drainage system, we settle for retaining ponds and using the streets as ditches for the water runoff to the antiquated irrigation system we use for drainage. What do we do to make us feel better about this? Nothing an expensive massive feel-good public relations campaigns won't cure. Want to attract tourism? How about a nice slogan and a Breeden logo:"A History as Big as Texas?" Yeah, that's the ticket. Never mind that when the tourists come all they'll encounter will be windswept, shopping-bag decorated mesquite scrub land and second-hand stores and tire shops. Look up at the sky and what will they see? A conflagration of utility wires and electric poles on either side of our thoroughfares. And why haven't the smart boys come up with a warm and fuzzy PR campaign like "Adopt a Pothole" so that we can get the citizenry involved in making this town a better place to live? And how about our unemployment? Are we content to continue using the university as a incubator for "production engineers" for the maquilas across the river? Do you know that half of the welders along the Gulf Coast come from Brownsville? Unless you tap into the corruption and compadrismo either at the BISD, PUB, BND, the county and the city, youse gotta go, bro. Of course, if you want to be connected, you gotta keep your trap shut. It's just not good form to point out that the emperor (and empress) have no clothes. Emma over the Holler pointed out that between all these entities we pay close to $500,000 to "public information officers" to make us feel good about the squalor around us. Now Imagine (United, etc.) Brownsville (or whatever new name that Rusteberg-Garcia shadow government has now adopted) is here to solve our problems. You don't have to think about dropout and the unemployed and illiterate.We will simply imagine all that away. For a small, fee, of course. How long can this go on? The answer to that question? Until we say enough and put a stop to it. The powers that be have demonstrated they don't really care. The people who are supposed to address those issues instead are satisfied to pay some slick PR guy to make it (imagine it) all go away. Believe it or not, it's going to be up to us to change it. As the election for city commission appraoches, we wonder whether other candidates for the city council will see the light as Camarillo apparently has and call Rusteberg and his shadow government what it really is.

UNITED WE STAND, FOR A SLIGHT FEE, OF COURSE
By Juan Montoya Mayor Pat Ahumada has been saying it all along. Imagine Brownsville (now metamorphed into United Brownsville) is a shado
w government without accountability to the public even though it receives its funding from publicly-funded entities. Now, we were gladdened to hear one of his opponents voicing the same concerns.
