ITS' A BIRD! IT'S A PLANE! NO, IT'S JESS, THE SUPERBABE!

By Juan Montoya
Hard on the heels of single-handedly bringing joy and prosperity to her district constituents, City of Brownsville commissioner Jessica Tetreau-Kalifa was complaining n her FB page about the cancellation of the annual Christmas parade.
What a shame, said the commish.
Too bad her official and social schedule were full, or else she just might do something about those naysayers at the city, Brownsville Independent School District, the social service clubs, etc, to save the parade.
"Very sad to announce...that our Christmas parade has been cancelled...very sad."
But hey, the life of a dynamic city commissioner doesn't leave much time to do much of anything, what with doctors' appointments, opening art exhibits, advising the city on airports, driving to SA, and then attending the city commission all within 36 hours, well, a gal can only cover so much.
Then, after prodding by her loyal following, she insists that it ain't the city's fault that the parade was cancelled, no sir.
Then after Mary Garza said that the schools should get their money back because it wasn't their fault the parade was a no-go, she turned a mite defensive.
"The City of Brownsville...(does not) have any say in the cancelation (sic) of the parade."
Jess repeated the statement that the city had nothing to do with it after Jesse Rodriguez complained that Winter visitors are looking forward to the parade as part of their annual visit here.
Well, that vile canard was enough to prompt our precocious commish to jump into action and goad the various entities involved in the parade to get their act together and not deprive the geriatric Midwesterners from enjoying the sight of shivering little bodies shivering atop their Xmas floats.
"Just reached out to Charro Days to let them know the City of Brownsville is ready, on board, and asking them to reschedule the Christmas Parade on Monday."
According to her Tetreau's heavy lifting apparently nudged those malingerers at the various civic organizations to get their act together and get with the program. The fact that she claimed this as her own incentive drew the praise from the usual adoring suspects: Cheezmeh and JP 2-2 Erin Garcia-Hernandez, who were quick on the draw to spew their cliches.
"Never doubt the power of a united people. Hats off to Commissioner Tetreau. Power to the People!," gushed Erasmo Castro.
"United we stand, divided we fall," chimed in Erin.
Wow.
We are impressed that within the short time span of 36 hours of a packed social and domestic agenda the commish was able to still twist recalcitrant arms and do the heavy lifting of the Grinch bureaucrats of the various public entities and service clubs to get the snow birds their parade.
And imagine that she did that even after she asserted that the City of Brownsville had no say in the cancellation of the parade.
She makes a few well-placed phone calls and speaks for the whole City Government, BPD,BISD , Traffic Control, Lions Club , vendors and local business all while in San Antonio? Wow and without any help but from the Cheezmosos and Erin Hernandez or any other Commissioner.
All it took was one phone call from the Commish and it was done. What next? World peace? Global warming? How about raising the minimum wage so her employees can make  make their Christmas a real one?
Now that will take some real heavy lifting!
