Two thugs walk into a Matamoros business and demand the owner pay them a certain amount of money before a certain date or they will burn his store, rape his wife and kidnap his children. In Mexico the victim can't even turn to the authorities because the two thugs might be off-duty policemen. So much for a worthless piece of paper.
There has been much talk during Mayor Tony Martinez's six-year reign about establishing a code of ethics, but there has been no action because it might prevent the City from doing business as usual. Even printed, it might prove as meaningless at the City's personnel policy manual, which apparently writes rules only for appearances' sake
The policy manual clearly states in Section 702 regarding political activities that:

The policy manual clearly states in Section 702 regarding political activities that:
"B. Specifically, City Employees may not engage in the following activities: 4. Hold an elective City office or hold an elective or appointive office in any other jurisdiction where service would constitute a direct conflict of interest with City employment, with or without remuneration. Upon assuming such office, an Employee shall resign or shall be dismissed for cause upon failure to do so."
Former Fire Chief Carlos Elizondo, recently demoted by City Manager Charlie Cabler, has thumbed his nose at this regulation for months. His critics, led by political activist and muckraking journalist Juan Montoya, have asserted categorically and relentlessly that Elizondo is in clear violation of this regulation with his position as a BISD trustee, yet the municipality is failing to enforce its own regulations.
(Ed.'s Note: There is some precedent for this to happen. In El Paso, a fire department lieutenant was given the choice of keeping his job with the city or the seat on the board of the school district that he had just won in an election. In that case, the firefighter gave up his seat and retained his job. A replacement was appointed by the board's majority.

When Elizondo won his election to the board in 2014, no one brought out the prohibition.
"The City is imitating Donald Trump," states Justo Leyes, The McHale Report's legal expert. "He lies, so his subordinates lies. The City refuses to enforce its own rules, so the employees fail to follow the rules. This perhaps accounts for the chaos at City Hall where very few municipal workers seem interested in doing their jobs."
Everyone knows that Elizondo is in flagrant violation of this regulation. In the latest example of his compromised position, where will he stand when the BISD sues the City over the exorbitant rates that PUB has been charging the school district?
Does the City have a responsibility to save the BISD by forcing Elizondo to choose which of two masters is he going to serve? His former underlings accuse him of being a crook for allegedly pocketing more than $8,000 from their political action group for his own use. At the BISD he recently voted for a $3.7 million project without the school district seeking bids.
"The BISD has lost the confidence of the community because hanky-panky is the most accurate description of its modus operandi," said a watchdog. "The board of trustees recently voted a huge tax increase without asking for the public's approval. Now they are sitting on $100 million that they plan to invest in infrastructure. Can you imagine the orgy of contracts that is going to result from this money and the possibilities for kickbacks? Can we trust Elizondo to do the right thing? Can we trust the City to enforce its own rules?
Or is trust, like the ocelot and the University of Texas/Brownsville, extinct in the Third World Capital of the United States?

Forget about this clown and his chic. They dropped like Sossi. It is Rene Oliveiras turn
They look dirty
Well in San Benito they make their own laws. They have an ethics ordinance but the don't abide by it. The mayor and city Commission let the city manager do what he wants and he has them shaking in their boots. Mayor and Commission start doing the job you were elected to do.
No pasa nada! Same crock of sh*!, with different people in place.
Everyone follows Ren Oliveiras lead which is, "LINE YOUR POCKETS WITH CASH AND THE HELL WITH THE COMMUNITY."
Voting for a 3.7 million dollar project without any bids? I wonder which compadre owns that construction company.
Montoya no more corruption. Keep fighting it . From Sluggo Sanchez and Vicks Valadez
Caga palo means a human excreting shit sticks. Sometimes peopLe are caga palos which means they produce nothing positive in life and use situations while really not working. Basically the only production they perform is producing shit sticks. That is what a caga palo is. Rene Oliveira is a CAGA PALO
OK, once again the Irish sage has told us water runs down hill. You would think he could tell us something that is not obvious.
where is the fucking FBI WHEN YOU NEED THEM !!!
Like a wolf in sheep's clothing,you try to hide your deepest sins of all the things that you've done wrong and I know where you belong.
Wait for next elections, all incumbents going out. BISD,CAMERON COUNTY,STATE REP all out. Surprise candidates will announce when you least expect it. OMG, this is a revolution, Art MacDonold, Laura Betancourt,Leal. Enough of Betancourts. Announcements are forthcoming and it will shock the political community. The community is tired of these BOZOS. People are hard at work to dispose of all these self serving office holders. A "REVOLUTION" coming up, a "REVOLUTION" my friend is what is needed. A "REVOLUTION"...
How can Rene Oliveira be so stupid? How can he dare mess with somebody else's wife and how can she be so stupid to mess with him! As a legislator he is incompetent, as a person he is untrustworthy, as a lawyer he's no good. As an alcoholic and womanizer, he's very good but,nevertheless, he's not a good friend. Stay away from this person (Oliveira), He will steel your wife if she's stupid like he is. What a poor lost soul he is....
he's wife is a total moron, She has a very bad attitude and think's she is better than everybody else. We don't like her at BISD. She's a person without a "HEART". Sorry but, it's true. She's not nice!
I think the check was made out to "Bernie Mestrada" Construction.
Are they twins ?
Here is the deal. It is all about cultural DNA.
North American was settled by English, French, Dutch and German people who came to build a life farming and in trade. They were settlers. Yes, some natives objected and they were dealt with unfairly.
Central and South America was settled by Spanish conquerors who came to rape, pillage and go back to Spain and live in wealth. The natives that objected were killed and enslaved.
Forward to 2017 and you will see the evolution of those two cultural DNA strains. Why is Mexico, Central and South America different from the USA and Canada? It is all about DNA bro, all about DNA.
Mexico still have the mentality of the conquerors whereby the masses are screwed to enrich the pockets of the ricos. If you were not born a rico, you must resort to crime, corruption and taking bribes.
You mean his deputy cheif oh chit! Cannot be true.
If you make laws and don't enforce them, then gangs, cartels and mobs prevail and the people fear them more than the government. The U.S. is headed that way because the Snowflake Liberals don't want to enforce laws (especially immigration laws), because the ones breaking the law are likely to vote with the party that doesn't want to enforce laws....Demokrats. This direction, as we see in groups like Antifa, BLM, et al, leads us toward anarchy....no respect for the law.
FbI only has 3 agents in brownsville
There are too many crooks in brownsville
It's a numbers game
From Chief to THIEF so �� sad.
What they need to do is get with the phone company to look into her calls from the past 2-4 years for her office line, if it's true what the students say that she's always on the phone and sends them away the proof would be there. She spends hours on calls I'm sure you can tell if it's personal, who talks for over an hour to a parent. They can see if the same number keeps coming up she doesn't have very many real friends so who ever she is gossiping with will be on the bill. She doesn't get paid to play counselor to her friends and ignore our kids.
That is not what a caga palo is. Stop trying to educate others on slang when you don't know what it means.
Who's phone line do you want to bug? Better still, take all the phones away from everyone and see what they are going to do. Puro chisme? No work! Come on bloggers, do not use pronouns in reference to the person you are complain about - be puro macho or macha and mention the name so that we all know whom you are talking about. No le tenga miedo a nadie! Especially if you sign anonymous.
Come on man. This guy is an adult and knows right from wrong. If it is true he has to deal with it.

I was replying from my phone to Sept 10 @ 9:21am
It shows you highlighted under the comment you are replying to. That being said I was talking about Mrs Elizondo how she is useless as a counselor to our kids the other blogger commented that Cindy was a moron that was full of herself totally agree with her.
What a nice looking couple.
What about our DA? Isn't he accused of theft? Will he have ramifications like Carlos has gone through? Most likely not he runs his office as if he is above the law. The dirty fucking crooked mustache scoundrel!!
Yes plastic surgery brought to you by citizens of Brownsville, and Mercedes Benz.
Yes BISD, look into Mrs. Elizondo's daily activities. She does not do her job and she does not help kids. The principal at the end of the day will have to answer to her inefficiencies. Like husband, like wife. Both are "Persona Non Grata". They need to go to church and repent but, sorry, it may be to late. They created their own crises. They thought they were too good for all of us. We don't think so! "KARMA"...
Actually a "caga Palo" is someone who is constantly shitting on the stick...like chickens or birds do.
How weird, both crooked scoundrels and both run/ran their offices like they are above the law!
Maybe Carlos should worry about his own problems and not try to shift the blame.
I love it, I truly do. The local Meskins can't even agree on what these expressions mean.
Somebody should ask why that skank took money for sex from that dentist as recent as within the past year...or maybe about all the vatos she banged for drugs. Stop worrying about Oliveira and start looking closer to home, P.
Like they say " toda la cagada va a flotar " Y Carlos ya estas flotando !!!! Mierda de cagada que eres, the world will see.
Caga Palo means someone who is complete fuck up. Always fucking up. Not on purpose because the person is incompetent and always fucking up. There you have it.
