Precinct 1 Justice of the Peace Benny Ochoa came from Port Isabel and a host of others trickled in from all over Cameron County to have County Clerk Joe Rivera administer the oath of office fro their respective offices.
Ochoa, who said he had left Port Isabel at about 8:30 a.m. said he left early to have some gorditas in a cafe on International Blvd.
"They don't make them over at the port the way they make them here," he said, as he milled around with the rest of the elected officials who gathered at the Dancy Building to take the oath from Rivera.
Conspicuous for her absence was county-clerk-elect Sylvia Garza-Perez, whose difficulties in acquiring a bond surety to cover her office has thrown a wrench in the works for her taking office.
So far, she has been able to acquire about $100,000 in coverage but her office requirements are for another $400,000, to total $500,000.
Some of those present at the oath-taking ceremony said that it was possible for the new county clerk to have four persons put up her surety at $100,000 a piece for this year. Public officials require bonding at different levels .
"I don't know who would agree to put up $1,000 in collateral or personal property and have it held for a year," said one. "I don't know who would agree to do it."
Garza-Perez was not the only one who didn't show up for the oath. County Judge Carlos Cascos was also absent. It is possible for both to take the oath at a separate time with Rivera. This year the county will have a new county clerk, a new district clerk, several new constables, justices of the peace, as well as other elected officials like Pct. 2 and Pct. 4 commissioners Alex Dominguez and Dan Sanchez who did not have Republican opponents this past general election in November.

Karma is a bitch sylvia
KARMA! What goes around comes around!
really !!! if the county puts out her bond , this means the tax payers will dish out for it !! they will raise the fees to the tax payers just watch ,,,, Sylvia you will not last in office , ignorant
Such showings are meaningless and the presence or absence of anyone has no real meaning to anyone. The corruption of the Dumbokratic Party will continue even if they swear on the bible or any other holy book. "Korruption R Us" in Cameron Co. politics.
Nadie la quiere asegurar por que saben que es rata la pinche vieja Sylvia
you are a big RAT Sylvia .... you and your minions..... will go down soon , all those brown nosers , kissing your ugly ass, to get a JOB ... you will be looking for another job soon.... lol
Sylvia you should do all of CAMERON county a big favor and resign in the position as county clerk, you should of never been a candidate, you know that, you know the best candidate for that position is Arnold Flores, you ladies are just a puppet for Joe, gilbert, Cindy and our disgrace of a mayor tony.. Be a leader and step down, face it you are not liked or welcomed in CAMERON county, you should fix your credit...
Hey Sylvia cavesa De nopal, didn't your buddy Big Balls Joe Riveria tell you , that you needed to have good credit for the position of county clerk, I guess not .. He doesn't care about you, he always knew that a cavesa De nopal couldn't ever win against Carlos Cascos,.. Meaning you... He got what he wanted and yet he didn't win, and your getting what you deserve, Karma remember that word...... For being an Asshole, and playing both sides.. Just resign man up and resign.. Do the county a favor and step down.
If insurance companies won't take the risk of bonding her for the full sum, there is some kind of serious skeleton in her closet. Of that, you can be certain.
That's right
