For the past few months, parents dropping off their kids at St. Mary's Catholic Church have grown livid when they see a taxpayer-bought vehicle registered to the Cameron County Clerk's Office pull up and see a parent drop off her kid at taxpayer expense.
We were alerted to this just yesterday by one of our three readers who said that the new Suburban purchased by the county for clerk's office was being used as a personal vehicle by an employee who works for County Clerk Joe Rivera.
Rivera, as we know, is currently in a runoff with attorney Ruben Peña.
Now, the county has passed a strict policy restricting personal use of county vehicles in face of mounting fiscal shortfalls during budget deliberations in the past.
Is the crisis over? Or is this just a case of St. Mary's being on the way from someone's home to the Cameron County Courthouse?
Obviously, the courthouse is in the other direction so that theory goes out the SUV window.
We're not nitpicking here, but the fact of the matter is that most county taxpayers are not pleased at the when their public servants flaunt their positions and use or abuse the resources provided them at their expense.
Rivera might well call attention to his subordinate unless he wants the outrage to snowball into displeasure at the polls.
Say it ain't so, Joe!
(After we published this post none other than Jolting Joe called us to say it wan't so. He said our informants had it wrong because Ms. Sanchez [the person we originally named] did not even have a child. However, he said that he is looking into the use of his department's SUV that was used to ferry someone's child to the Catholic school. In fact, he assured us that no one is authorized to use the county vehicles in his department for personal use. Later he told us that it wasn't a mom after all, but a dad on his way to a conference in Laredo who thought nothing of dropping off his kid before taking off down the road. And that's the rest of the story.)

WHAT A FUCKING HYPOCRITE YOU ARE, MONTOYA. If this was a worker for Ruben Pena you'd shove it under the rug. Fucking sell-out! Do right by your people, mamon!!!!
No shame, jerks, milking the tit, and there are more.
All empolyees with official (tax payer purchased) vehicles, should have to list their mileage and provide travel vouchers for their use of the vehicle. Next, perhaps we should have GPS in all vehicles and have a regular review of the GPS to see where the vehicle has been. Does the city have liablility insurance for non-employees???? If not, the driver should be held accountable for the liability of any, non-employee that might be injured in an accident. And, Ruben Pena is a private citizen and can use his private vehicle in any way he wants....and he pays the liability.
Remember that some County employees are considered prima donnas. If they had to "work" out side the county workforce , they just wouldn't cut it . They'd starve to death. This also includes some of the county Attorneys. Furthermore, many of these critters are illiterate in both languages. If some had a 1000 hands they would not or could not find their Derrière!
Lol...please people! !! Mrs.Sanchez dont even got kids of that age that could go to that school! Her oldest is out there serving our country for idiots like you Montoya!!!! Why dont you mention Letter Perez; HildaPerez & Lucindo R.who do have kids of that age...and which they are supporting RUBEN PEÑA!! ........ALL THIS IS POLITICAL.....aughhhhhh que FLOJERA! !!! MONTOYA..GET A LIFE LOL
Joe Rivera is an abuser. He is part of the problem , not the solution. Say "NO TO JOE". Vote Ruben Pena!
Sandra Sanchez doesn't even have kids that go to that school. How come there aren't any children and parents around in that picture? It seems like someone is using this picture for political purposes or trying to make someone look bad.

County Watch Dog....what the fuck did you just try to say? .....You should get back to the basics....of writing.
Ruben Pena doesn't drive any public vehicles, jackasses. Joe Rivera, on the other hand, is famous for abusing his authority by forcing his employees to sell his golf tournament fundraiser tickets for the last two decades. Using a publicly owned suburban gas guzzler to ferry kids around is nothing to a crook like Joe.
Say no to Joe. VOTE RUBEN PEÑA FOR HONEST LEADERSHIP!
Tis has got to be the oldest field of candidates ever in Cameron County. La CHICHE ESTA BUENA. Joe Rivera 74, Pete Avila 74, Omar Lucio 82....y QUIEREN MAS! Let competent younger people run...retire with dignity like Aurora De La Garza.
beware the Blanket is coming !!!
To 4:42pm You must be a JOE lover;If you can't make it out,then you need to stay OUT:I am just telling you the facts the way it is;The basics of writing is not to use that kind of WORDS in your comments;If you can't face the FACTS (plain as day)then keep it to your self;What we need is to EXPOSE this KIND of People ;It's all about them(ME);It's like the HOE;
Its was probably the idiot supervisor Robert Briones and he was probably still drunk from the night before.....he was taking whatever womens kid he slept with the night before.
