Well, just when you think that politicians would get the message that hanging around what is left of the Hernandez vote-harvesting machine is the kiss of death, guess who was seen courting their support?
Would you believe Brownsville Independent School District board of trustees candidates Robert Rodriguez and Cesar Lopez.
Both were seen at one of the casino night events so favored by the Hernandez to flaunt their politiqueros. Foremost among these minor demons was Joey Garza, a loyal Hernandez flunky who formed part of the vote-harvesting machine.Joey specializes in dealing cards at these events. During the Erin Hernandez campaign for Justice of the Peace 2-2, his name appears on voter assistant lists showing he was one of the operatives who hauled in the elderly voters from local adult day care centers. His name also appears on mail-in ballots collected by other politiqueras. When the elderly voters were asked if they knew who he was, to a person they all said they didn't and couldn't explain why his name was on their ballot envelopes as having collected the ballots.
That Lopez and Rodriguez would court these operatives' services to make their run for the BISD board does not bode well.
Lopez faces Luci Longoria, Rolando N. Guerra, and Juan Pacheco in Place 1.
Rodriguez is facing Carlos Elizondo in Place 2.
That these two candidates were willing to court the favor of the Hernandez crew – Ernie, Norma and Erin were all there – indicates that they think the rehabilitation as political movers and shakers is well underway.
In that race she endorsed former constable Pete Avila against Mary Esther Garcia, just days after the news broke that a former secretary in his office had settled for $150,000 with the county on a sexual harassment complaint. That sealed the deal on Avila's candidacy.
Minerva's endorsement may not have been the straw that broke the camel's back, but it didn't help Pete either. Is history repeating itself?
When he learned that his opponent for Place 2 was hobnobbing with the Hernandez and their minions at the casino night fundraiser, Elizondo said that it showed who was really behind Rodriguez's campaign.
"Dios los hace, ellos solos se juntan," Elizondo laughed.

County paid $150,000 for Pete Avila indiscretions, now Gloria M. just heard that the county judge jumpted to make the settlement without trying to reduce the request, so she seems to want some of that county money. Thus she and her attorney are looking at how her emails with da judge can get her some of that money.
dr.montoya was having lots of fun at the casino night.
extend my contract for one more year !
You will know when Boxcutter is involved. Just check the signs.
Seems that I remember seeing a picture of Elizondo hobnobbing with both Lucy and Cata on this very site. That definately says a lot for who's behind him. Is he still laughing?
puras ratas... de dos patas.
well said Mr. Elizondo.
As we all know who is behind Carlos Elizondo's campaign: The "movers and shakers" of BISD Lehman, Hinojosa, Gonzalez, Rebdon, and of course, HEALTHSMART
Yea Montoya, then you have some idiot judge rule against the voter ID law!!!
Gonna get all my friends and relatives to vote for Carlos Elizondo. He will do what is right for the students, teachers and All employees of the Brownsville Independent School District.
Lucio Longoria and Cata Presas have a lawsuit against BISD for millions because of the ridiculous, stupid behavior of each member on that lousy board including themselves. Cesar Lopez is a lowlife crook salivating over every kickback dollar. All incumbents must be given the boot.
You are koo koo Ben. Your boy is going to lose.
Robert Rodriguez and Cesar Lopez are using the politiqueros of the Hernandezes, Lucios, and Arnold Flores Jr. Can you say DIRTY? We better hope that Carlos Elizondo gets all his supporters to vote.
Ben is a rat in the movie "Willard". Ben ran with a hoarde of Rats. This is deja vu!
Carlos Elizondo is just another Cata Presas-Garcia. Working to get contracts with BISD!!! How is he any better that the rest of the candidates??????
I will not vote for anyone that is associated with the dirty Hernandez clan!!!! They are bad news and dirty and dishonest people. I'm staying away from all those like ARNOLD FLORES, LUCIOS and the HERNANDEZES, THEY ARE ALL CORRUPT AND MANIPULATE POLICY TO FAVOR THEIR OUTCOME AND THEIR BENEFIT. SPREAD THE WORD THESE PEOPLE ARE BAD AND LETS KEEP THEM OUT OF POLITICS!!!!!!!
Who cares dont vote for them we will
