TOP 22 "EXTERNAL ATTORNEYS" AT THE BISD $$$ TROUGH

(Ed's Note: We have been getting queries about the attorneys who have cashed in on the Brownsville Independent School District's reliance on external attorneys over the past 10 years following our post Friday that stated that more than $5 million has been spent on outside legal services.
 
We are now reprinting the results of the compilation of legal firms in descending order of payment totals put together by the two lead auditors of the BISD. The list only goes to June 2015 so the real totals to the present are yet to come. As you can see, the BISD has become a cash cow for legal referrals since the district's general counsel Baltazar Salazar does not specialize in educational law.
 
A former board majority appointed him there and subsequent majorities have kept him. This "kept" lawyer has made cash contributions to many board members and board candidates to grease the wheels and keep himself in the BISD gravy.)

As long as BISD board members allow it, this will continue to channel money into certain people's pockets! Man, you BISD people are not satisfied that Joe Rodriguez is making a killing from the district in every sense of the word! Yet, you BISD guys hire and pay out major money to his families law firm? I just wonder when the Feds are going to wake up and go after you corrupted people?

Puro ratero. Funny how many of those attorneys have relatives working for bisd at the main administration building. There's enough for everyone to go around I guess

What is your problem with Laura Reyes? Did she take monew from her clients and never reported it? Did she deposit money that belongs to the court into her personal account? Did she sue Cameron County for financial gain?..Let's see the facts, she is young (how many times have I read here in the blog that BISD needs new blood?), She is hungry, She accepted a small contribution from a not so like businessman and didn't hide it, she has NE experience (no one elected for the first time has), She has no educational background? Well she has kids that may or may not go to BISD in the future. The list goes on but there is nothing wrong with her other than the fact that she spanked Caty "La Travesti" Presas ass and now Juan you might have to work to pay for your phone bill and your own beers.
