By now we know that Cameron County District Attorney's public information officer Melissa Zamora gets paid by the public to spend a good part of the day reading the blogs and making comments during working hours.
This seems to have become the norm even though a county Human Resources memo to all county workers specifically forbids the practice. We know that keeping your ear to the ground helps one be a good PIO to your boss, but if the rules don't apply to everyone, what good are they?The comments attributed to Melissa was posted at 3:58 p.m. while Saenz usually has a meeting with his staff s where the PIO should be taking notes instead she's reading the blogs and commenting on them.
One of her many tasks over at the DA's is running Saenz's Facebook page and posting on his behalf even during business hours.
As far as we can remember, no DA or PIO has ever gotten involved on the blogs and cared so much about what the public think. They used to just just prosecute criminals and crooked politicians and not worry about what their public relations gurus fuss about.
And just down 12th Street toward the river, commissioner Jessica Tetreau-Kalifa is giddy with economic development fervor.
She informs us that District 2 is popping with new businesses and jobs and that economic nirvana is just over the lomas of Boca Chica. The "new" business is Chick Fil A.
Somehow, her being the commissioner there we're sure had something to do with the national franchise setting up shop close to the college and the University of Texas-Brownsville. Why this powerful fast-food chain would even contact any member of the city commission to do business is beyond us. You can fool some people sometimes, the saying goes.
We'll just wait for the inevitable picture opportunity to see out buxom commissioner to take the perfunctory publicity shot with the golden shovel.
We can say, however, that, Chick Fil A, a Florida-based company, was around way before Jessica even thought of public office. The company wanted to be close to TSC instead of having to deliver to them.
The rent at the oddly-named Multimodal Terminal was way too high, did not include parking, and the company needed a drive-thru window. So the new site next to the McDonald's which puts them down International from the college suited them just fine.
So if Comish Jess wants to take credit for the "new" company, well, one has to take the good with the bad.
What, pray tell, was her role in getting the Golden Corral to abandon its Boca Chica site and move out of the district? With Jess mired in the economic development mix, she was bound to have a hand in that, too, we're willing to bet. You go, girls!

I did not make that comment until close to 6 pm. I was already home.
Smelly Melly at it again!
Blogging during working hours.
Sorry Juan but Chick Fil A is a Georgia based company and always has been. Wrong again.
(Melissa Zamora gets paid by the public to spend a good part of the day reading the blogs)
Ha! So damned typical.
Dags.
I also hear there's a used VHS cassette shop about to open and soon to follow will be neat scotch tape shop (they stole the idea from an old Saturday Nigh Live skit. Yes, Brownsville is booming and all those Mexican billionaires can't wait for the new super Mexican highway to open so they'll be able to come and open all those new businesses.
Juan,
This has nothing to do with this story but you should know about this young girl. Why does it take Wired magazine to find this?

Hey Juan. Chick Fil A is based out of Atlanta Georgia. Not Florida. And Chick Fil A is not persuaded to open a store by politicians. They do their own research to see if its work spending money in making a store at a location. Go get a real life Jessica, because Chick Fil A honchos wouldn't give a rats ass what you think or persuaded them to open another store in Brownsville, Those plans were started by Chick Fil A even before you became an embarrassment to the Brownsville area when u became a commissioner. Don't think people voted for you because it was you. We just had to vote for the least evil one of the two idiots running for office. Hope they get a better candidate to vote you out of office next election.
Hey Zeke, it's coming...
NUMBER ONE (1) THE D.A. IS KNOWN AS A LEG SPREADER;THAT IS WHY SHE HAS THE RUN OF THE OFFICE/ SINCE WHEN CAN THE D.A. NOT ANSWER ?s,TO HAVE SOMEBODY(MELLY) RAKE IN THE TAX PAYER MONIES;BIG BUCKS;IF THAT BE THE CASE; EVERY DEPT.HEAD WILL HAVE TO HIRE SOMEONE TO DO THEIR TALKING;(AKA)PISTOL PETE;JUST CAUSE THE COUNTY WAS IN THE BLACK (THIS YEAR);MONEY ALL AROUND,FOR THOSE THAT ARE CLOSER TO THE MONEY CHEST,THAT DIP THEIR HANDS AND GIVE THEM SELF; RAISES(WASTED);
Come on Melissa your such a liar, you should know that Google automatically posts when the time and date the message was sent. You had your blog and you are a liability to the DA office. You think that because you bullied when you were a commissioner and threatened people to get fired. You have ALWAYS LOVE to get people fired and claim to be a victim. You are an embarrassment to the District Attorney
Malissa Z. is the female version of Bill Clinton. They will lie to your face and turn around and make themselves the victim and blame the other person for what they did. The only difference between Malissa and Clinton is Malissa is giving Oral Sex and Clinton was receiving Oral Sex but both deny it. Both have said I didn't do it then they get busted and said Oral Sex is not Sex because there was no penetration then came the evidence and both said OK I did but it is not like you haven't done it either. I was vulnerable and wasn't thinking when I did it. Tell me one person that hasn't done it....well let the first person who hasn't sinned throw the first stone. She is always the victim after she gets caught. You should learn LUIS it happened to you once before and history has a tendency to repeat itself.
D.A.s OFFICE;WHEN ARE THE COMMISSIONERS IN C.C. GOING TO WAKE UP AND TAKE CONTROL OF THE WAY THE DEPT.S ARE BEEN RUN? WHY DO WE MAKE UP DEPT.S;(TITLES) SO WE CAN SET-UP OUR BUDDIES SO THEY CAN MILK THE COUNTY DRY? WE ALREADY HAVE ZOMIES IN CHARGE OF PUBLIC WORKS;FOLLOWING THE CARROT, IN FRONT OF THEM; WHAT HAPPEN TO PUBLIC WORK, SUPER.OPENING? WHERE'S THE MONIES FOR THAT SLOT?WHO GOT A RAISE?(H.R.ROOKIE)?
These attacks on Melissa Zamora and Jessica Tetreau are cruel and unfounded. Everyone knows that Zeke Silva is behind all of this garbage. Bad, Juan, very bad.
whats with these county employees? The walking dead or what, just to pick up a paycheck every 2 weeks and not serve the public, bad.
Lets see if I get this right Melissa Zamora and Jessica Tetrau...you both can't stay off facebook or the blogs, then Melissa gets busted posting during a staff meeting at the DA office and Jessica lying that she had something to do with Chick Fil A coming to Boca Chica and you turn around and blame Zeke and Juan for posting your stupid comments? First of All Zeke didn't post the comments Melissa and Jessica Did. 2nd. Melissa you posted on Mean Mister Brownsville on and Alex Dominguez and Zeke Silva picture. What does that say Melissa that you are after Zeke Silva reputation and job at the DA office. You have been trying to get him fired for the longest time. Both you and Jessica are so vain that you need peoples praises to make yourself good and put down anyone that doesn't agree with you. You both chose to be public people. Your personal lives have been posted on facebook and blogs by your own selves. Quit trying to blame Zeke, Juan, Jim Barton, Jerry McHale or anyone else for your stupid mistakes. FYI Melissa we are tired of you stealing county money. When you are paid to do a job and are on the blogs that is stealing county time. We PAY YOU to work not to be doing google search or blogging. Do that on your own time. Both of you deserve what you get for being stupid and self centered individuals. Grow Up and admit when you do mistakes. Both of you are grown ass women Start acting your age and not your shoe size, although both of you have big ass feet. Well that is what your husbands say when you shove up their ass when your kicking it. UUUUUUYYYYYYY
Shut up Zeke.
At 3:39 PM Melissa we know that is you. Still haven't learned your lesson? I'm thinking about filing a complain against you for stealing our tax payers money. Lets see what your boss will say about you being on the Blogs during business hours.
Shut up Zeke. If you had an education you might understand that part of a PR or PI job is knowing what kind of pertinent information is in the media, blogs included. You are in over your head and are trying to make yourself look smarter than you are by trashing a very smart, articulate professional who happens to be a woman. You are only exposing yourself as a mean spirited jackass. By the way, this isn't Melissa Zamora. I'm one of many women in this town who is sick of your blatant, bullshit tactics. There are a whole lot of us out here waiting for your next move.
You still haven't learned Melissa when to shut up and get off the blogs. When would any professional especially the DA allow his staff to be interested in what the people have to say. Why would the tax payers pay anybody to be monitoring the blogs. Blogs come one. No one is bashing women here just exposing Smelly Melly and Dumb Jessica. There is also twice of us tired of being ripped off by these so called powerful women who are an embarrassment to professional intellectual women who have succeeded by using their intelligence and not their ass. Mel does not get along with other women that is why she is isolated. It is documented she can't work well with others. She doesn't last in any job because she is verbally abusive and arrogant, plus she smells really bad. She only goes around old men in their 60's telling how good they look, how smart they are and the idiots fall for her BS. Really look at her she is always after old men.Why because they are smart, have money, power and low self esteem. Then here comes Melissa laughing at their jokes, telling what they probably don't hear from their wives of 30+ years of marriage. She knows how to play these idiots.
Callate- shut up, people dis-like Smelly because she has crossed many people. Vieja Basura
