Quick now. Did you notice the missing faces when you last went by the Cameron County Courthouse?
How about the Dancy Building?
Prominent among the missing is Cameron County Building Maintenance director Marcelino Ybarra, long rumored to have been a conduit through whom county services and material flowed out to past and present county officials. Marcelino was everyone's friend if they had the right connections with officials close to the top of the pecking order.
County sources tell El Rrun-Rrun that Ybarra faced an ultimatum of resigning or being let go and he chose to leave on his own.His departure follows the indictment of Juan Millan Lemus, 63, the leader of the construction maintenance department who worked directly under Ybarra.
Cameron County District Attorney Luis V. Saenz released few details about the charges against Lemus when the indictment except to say that Lemus was accused of theft.
Saenz told the Brownsville Herald when the indictment was issued against Lemus in January that the supervisor was accused of taking some county-owned tools.
“He’s accused of taking some tools that belonged to the county. There was a job site at the restitution center and as they’re working at that job site they discovered there were some tools missing,” Saenz said. “And Mr. Lemus was found to have them in his possession.”

Also missing – although she's back again – was JP 2-1 court administrator Sylvia Rodriguez and another clerk. At first, people thought that the pair had left on their own free will but later, when Rodriguez returned, it seems that there was a reconciliation between her and her boss JP Linda Salazar.
"They probably went to the Island and made up," said a county wag. "After they talked about it, she returned."
Sources tell us that when Ybarra was given the ultimatum, he consulted with his lawyer, former Cameron County Judge Gilberto Hinojosa. When he failed to give notice of his decision to the county, it was taken as a resignation and he left the county.
For years, the buzz around the county was that Ybarra and his maintenance crew were used as a personal building force by various public officials who used them to wok on their private homes. However, after an investigation by the Cameron County Sheriff's Dept. there were never any charges filed against him.

Marcelino did many many jobs for joe rivera.. at his home and his island condo .and so did that lemus guy...county tools..county time.. joe rivera even took his staff to clean his property in corpus...on county time ...all you have tp dp is ask ...
These guys are low men on the totem pole. When Luis Saenz prosecutes Hernandez and Rivera we'll believe things have changed. Until then it's all just window dressing.
Don't forget Charlie Helmet. The county awarded the accounting contract to Mr. Charlie Yelmo's firm.
Very true..
This isn't the first time that Marcelino has taken inappropriate action while heading the Maintenance Department yet no action was taken by Sepulveda or Carlos Caicos
Joe G Rivera- a legacy of CORRUPTION, that's what his signs should really read, time to vote him out. Get all the dumbocRATAS out of office. Say no to joe, juan, gilberto and the corruption they represent.
Viva cascos!!! Sacar a rivera...ya basta ...
