POWERS FOR SALE? FROM THE HORSE'S MOUTH






http://itismybusinesstoknow.blogspot.com/2009/07/otis-powers-talks-to-joe-colunga.html

(Ed.'s note: We were combing though our files and came across snippets of the taped conversation between Place 3 BISD candidate Otis Powers and Chief Financial Officer Tony Juarez. As Powers makes his bid for another term on the BISD board, it might be well to remember that this tape was allowed to enter into evidence by Federal Judge Andrew Hanen in determining whether a conspiracy existed to deprive both Juarez and former Sup. Hector Gonzales of their constitutional rights.
In the first snippet, Powers tells Juarez how he's "talked to all of them" (board members Rick Zayas, Joe Colunga Rolando Aguilar, etc.) about whether Juarez should file a bogus grievance against Gonzales to give the others a justification for firing him.
In the second, Powers is talking to Colunga over the phone about having his attorney Mark Sossi file a lawsuit and serve Caty Presas-Garcia during a board meeting. Powers said that after Presas-Garcia was served, she wouldn't think about Colunga anymore when she went into executive session.
In the third, Powers tells of how he received advice from former blogger Bobby Wightman to sue Presas-Garcia for alleged offenses relating to privacy FERPA guidelines.
It should be interesting to note that Powers had been defeated for the board of trustees but still maintained communications related to ongoing matters of the BISD board. Powers is a candidate for the BISD board against Argelia Miller in Place 3.)

You forgot to mention one important factor. Otis was not a board member and Juarez called him for advice! Nothing illegal about that!

Otis Powers is a joke just like the BISD board. The only reason they all run is for the free district paying trips they get to take at tax payers expense. Wake up stupid people of brownsville and stop voting for these clowns.. let them pay for their own trips.

I am the owner of the land in front of Yturria Elementary. No political signs shall be placed on or affixed to any private property without the property owner consent (that’s the law). Property owners or designee have the right to take down any sign we do not want and do not need the candidate’s permission. Argelia Miller had no permission to step on my property and put a sign. Mr. Powers have handled my estate and personal affairs of over 20 years. I trust Mr. Powers with all my business decisions for over 20 years. I told Mr. Powers “have Orlando Trevino to remove the sign”. I will file criminal charges against Argelia Miller for trespassing (we have pictures of your sign on my property) and filing false statements against Mr. Powers if she continues the false accusations, lies and blogs.

"Please explain the job description of Adriana Villarreal and her dates of employment with the election department. (Ms. Villarreal stated to CAVA and others that she is the election department employee responsible for hiring election workers)


We have several sworn statements from voters who were turned away from being election workers due to their affiliation with particular candidates.
We have received complaints about election judges and clerks working at polling places who had affiliations with particular candidates.
We have received complaints from voters about teenagers serving as election judges in a disorganized and disruptive manner at polling places.
We have received complaints from voters about polling places opening late during elections.
We have received complaints from voters about long-standing polling place entrances being moved without proper notice being posted on the buildings.
We have sworn statements from voters who witnessed ballots being removed from early voting locations by non-election workers for curbside voting.
We have sworn statements from voters who witnessed electioneering within certain early voting locations and within the 100 foot perimeter of a polling place.
We have sworn statements from voters who witnessed curbside voting assistance given by van drivers without the administration of the required oath or the required supervision by election judges or clerks.
We have sworn statements from voters who witnessed poll watchers for particular candidates taking photographs, in an intimidating manner, within the polling place.
We have sworn statements from voters who witnessed phone calls being made to a particular candidate telling her to take the vans to another polling location because there were poll watchers at a particular polling place.
We are finding that election judges and clerks were allowed to work without being registered voters, to work in polling places outside of their district, and some workers may not be United States citizens."

Dear Mr. Calvillo and Mr. Powers,

1.Mr. Calvillo,
a.I put the sign there because I thought I was given permission by you and your relatives. If it was a mis-communication consider my sign removed.

a. Mr. Powers told me in front of his uncle Orlando that you were mad at BISD because BISD did not want to buy YOUR land, maybe the asking price was too much), and that the previous Board was in the process of buying YOUR land when Mr. Powers lost his campaign. Rest assured that win or lose I will keep a close eye on how many of your properties BISD will buy and at what price.

2 Mr. Powers,
a. You of all people should know the campaigning rules and not to park your three campaign trucks, illegally in front of the Public Library especially on the Bike lane, exposing all the bicyclists to danger and to be run over by a passing vehicle. Yes, that is why the Brownsville Police asked your three campaign trucks to move along and not park illegally on a bicycle lane.

b.We agreed that our campaign was going to be clean, and I intend it to be that way.


c.This still serves as an official notice to stay away from all my signs, do not mark, temper, nor remove them from any place, if my signs bother you, then let me know personally. It's not like we don't see each other at the Public Library almost everyday.

Very Respectfully,

Ms. Argelia Miller

Argelia, why don't you remove your sign from Mr. calvillo's property. Signs don't vote, people do and believe me, we are behind you 100 percent. Calvillo is supporting all the losers.
