NEECE HOSTS POST-ELECTION FUNDRAISER AT 1/2 MOON

(Ed.'s Note: Former Chief Municipal Judge Ben Neece, now District 4 City of Brownsville Commissioner, will host a post-election fundraiser Thursday to retire some campaign expenses with a Casino Night he will hold at the Half Moon Saloon.

Since taking office, Neece and his colleagues on the commission have voted for several initiatives they hope will improve the city's mission "to provide safe, efficient, and reliable public transportation with courtesy, concern and professionalism to all passengers, visitors, and citizens of Brownsville."

So far, they have passed initiatives to form audit, budget and agenda committees which will scrutinize the various departments in their performance. The members of the committees have yet to be appointed, but there is no mistake that they want to hold city officials accountable to the public.

Stick your guns and hold their feet to the fire, guys! See you at the Half Moon!)
