(Ed.'s Note: Remember those crowd cartoons where you're supposed to find Waldo in the crowded drawing? In the chaotic scenes with many moving parts, it's always a challenge to find Waldo grinning out at you from among the many cartoon characters inked on the easel. Well, Brownsville Independent School District trustee and new Fire Department Chief Carlos Elizondo is rapidly becoming a Waldo of sorts. Unlike Lenny Perez (who Elizondo, as head of the firefighters union despised), Carlos now eschews the traditional garb of the firefighter and prefers to dress nattily in a tailored suit instead. At the recent unveiling of the Female Veterans United sculpture of a woman veteran walking holding her M-16 at the ready, the firefighters were out in force. As many as three or four FD vehicles were in the crowded parking lots around the Veterans Memorial Park on Central Blvd., including the hook and ladder with a huge U.S. flag hanging way up on top of the extended ladder. Can you find Carlos (Waldo) in this photo? He is the bald guy in the suit in the designer glasses grinning at another firefighter at left. Right after this photo was taken, a cloudburst sent evryone scurrying for cover. Carlos still faces some stormy court times over the discrepancy on the captain's exam where his scores improved twice to place him over applicant Sacramento Diosdado, who promptly sued. Who changed the scores? No one knows and the former head of the city's Civil Service division says he had a bout of dementia before he resigned in the wake of the questions over the change to Elizondo's tests scores. Nonetheless, Elizondo has been able to overcome other questions about his eligibility for fire chief with some aplomb and the city administration has been willing to overlook some of the questions raised on his background check. There are even some that say that he is being groomed to take over Charlie Cabler's spot as city manager. We'll keep you posted on his ascent (or descent) as time progresses. There's Waldo!)

I believe the Charlie Cabler part, wouldn't be the first time I heard that rumor. What are his credentials to take over that high paying job?
Elizondo is the right man for the job
I do not think that Waldo is qualified for that position, if he cheated on an exam, I could just see what he will do next.
It's not "natural" for a Mexican to wear a suit & tie.
Yea he's talking to the cha cha "la chino"
The guy's got "Premature Ejaculator" written all over his face.
what credentials CHARLIE CABLER have to be city manager the only one RATA GRANDE
This guy is a total joke, he is a lap dog to many, that is getting away jumping all the hurtles and rings to claim his treats. Sit Carlos, now roll and jump through the hoops, good lap dog, good.
Carlos is in conflict of interest by being fire chief and a board member due to handling contracts and not following through with fire codes. His vote to give a raise to Baltazar salazar is also a conflict of interest since carlos also accepted political contributions from baltazar. Carlos is a wet noodle and has no respect for the law nor dignity to step down all he cares is how much he can steal from the public to enrich himself and fast before the public tit is taken away from him.
Carlos should not be a BISD BOARD MEMBERS, WORD AT RIVERIA HIGH SCHOOL IS THAT HIS WIFE MIGHT BE AN ASST. ADMINISTRATIVE, OR PRINCIPAL. THERE IS ALOT Wrong there a lot of educator's more qualified for this position.
Qualifications to be hired in this town is to be a piece of shit.
First order of business when carlos elizondo took over the chief position was to shredd all the writeups that he was given by the previous chief. News for you carlitos, there is 3 sets of copies done before you got your hands on the cookie jar. So shredd all you want little girbel, an order another shredder while you are at it.
Well said
Rachel Figueroa- Rachel Figueroa- Rachel Figueroa- Rachel Figueroa, Odee Leal- Odee Leal- Odee Leal, Figure it out guys these 2 are the reason why Waldo is the Fire Chief!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another pendeja there was Jessica Tetreau. Anything to get "likes" on Facebook.
Now she's giving away heart attacks in a bag by handing out 99 cent McDonalds burgers downtown. "Let me post about my generosity on Facebook. Then I'll go downtown and have bystanders (including on the clock city employees) take pictures of me handing out burgers I bought with my husbands credit card because I don't work. Then those bystanders will upload the photos to Facebook and people will continue to ignore the fact that I'm useless and they will like me for a little while longer. I have to come up with more publicity stunts to make people forget the huge gorilla party I promised. Hopefully they're dumber than I am and will accept these burgers and forget about all my empty promises."
Too funny!!
What did Figueroa and Lea do to get him hired?
OK Odee!!!! you want to know how you and Rachel got him hired. Your own employees let the cat out of the bag, You and Carlos got together and exchanged opinions about fire personnel, your own employees tell everyone all your bullshit, and that you want Carlos to clear the way and cover up all your incompetent BS with the fire. If you ask around your office and stop doing personal shit at work all day you will find out all your mistakes and lies are being noticed.
Rachel who wears outdated 80s polyester suits and her poofy mullet 90s hair and her "Mr. Ed" toothed sista are very open and tell all when they get tipsy topsy both of them are babbling drunks and tell all about their influence especially the close family relationship with Carlos and your family.
Yeah she is stuck in the 80's. How on earth did she get that job?
Lol this is funny shit. But at the same time it's sad because it's probably true.
