When former Cameron County Safety Officer Robert Lopez resigned his position after the controversy erupted over the hiring of Pct. 2 commissioner's brother-in-law Roberto Cadriel, County Administrator Pete Sepulveda directed Public Works Supervisor Louis Ara to look for a replacement.
He let Ara know that he wouldn't object if he picked his friend Gilbert Galvan, who lived off FM 803 in the rural area north of Olmito.
Even though county employees say that Galvan did not possess the
certification to carry out the duties of a safety coordinator, he was issued a county truck and let loose upon the unsuspecting residents of the county. Workers noticed that Galvan loved to tear out out of the county barn in Precinct 3 (San Benito) and spin the wheels of the country ride.
Last Monday, speed caught up with Galvan, who failed to negotiate a turn off FM 803 and the intersection of Henderson Road. He lost control of the vehicle and struck a tree near the intersection. When he couldn't drive it away, he had to call a tow truck at county expense to take it back to the county barn.
Since this happened after working hours (Galvan was allowed to drive the truck home and to work), there was no alcohol or drug test required of Galvan, who was then issued the old truck that belonged to Pct. 3 commissioner's secretary. The secretary had received a new car and her truck, formerly used by Garza and still bearing the commissioner's logo on it, was handed over to Galvan, who is now tooling along the county roads in it.
"He just dumped the other truck in the yard and jumped on another one provided for him by Ara," said a Pct. 3 resident. "How can the county allow a person like that to be driving around? Is it because he's Ara and Sepulveda's friend?"

Nothing but beaurocrats, friends, cousins, uncles, bums, the Ernie Hernandez types. Hijole, puro mugrero. Pinche condado.
How could they let this happen? Where is Sofia Benavidez or Ernie Hernandez? Its time for them to put a stop to this, and start doing something good for the county.
Don't worry as long as you pay your taxes on time they have money to buy more trucks.
Y por eso estamos como estamos.
Ya ni la chingan, no tienen verguenza.....
With a few more of these assholes and the county will be in deeper shit.

As I was driving by fm803 i saw some workers from precinct 3 removing a tree were Galvan wrecked his county SUV.I stopped and asked them what they were doing with the tree and they said they were going to take it for a drug test. Stupid tree didn't move.
Mr. Montoya, its no secret that family and close friends get hired to work for the county? It only proves that there will be continuous problems with issues like these because those favorable persons that were hired can keep their mouth shut to keep their job. We the voters just chose to allow this type of hiring and or corruption to continue. Maybe, one day we will actually see this county prosper with taking blackeyes from the likes of these people?
