BEN CORTEZ: OPEN LETTER TO SAN BENE CITY MANAGER


From: Ben Cortez, Concerned Citizens of San Benito 
To: Manuel De La Rosa,
City Manager City of San Benito
Re: Chief of Police Recordings

Dear Mr. De La Rosa,

This is to inform you that hearing several of San Benito Police Chief Michael Galvan’s recordings and sharing them with several members of the community, it is obvious that the Chief is a very disturbed individual.

There are no recordings that are police matters.

They demean members of the community, police officers and their wives. The comments are false. He then expects his men to support him. He violates policy and procedures. He has even lied to you. He has lied in mediation hearings. He has done so many illegal and unethical things and gotten away with them and feels above the law.

The worst part is thinking that he knows more than the the Cameron  District Attorney, Ex-Mayor Celeste Sanchez and calls a respected Justice of the Peace (deceased) a drug mule and drug dealer advocate. He alleges that some police officers’ wives are swingers and promiscuous.

The Union has lost his trust. Some Commissioners have lost his trust. The public will be allowed to hear these recordings and a petition will be circulated and submitted to the mayor and commissioners.

Finally, you as the City Manager will have to explain your reluctance to reprimand this individual. This is almost identical to your experience in Jonestown. There is more damaging information, but will be produced as needed.

(P.S. The city manager has not disciplined Chief Galvan for  his unethical conduct, but yet he was quick to demote the fire chief for some as of yet unstated reason. The citizens need help exposing the city manager's ill doings.)

These two guys have brought discredit on the Police Dept. and to the city doesn't the city commission see that not only are they the laughing stock to their peers but that this is a powder keg ready to blow up in their faces, they need to do something now!If they decide not to I'm afraid will be seeing several new faces come the next election and you can take that to the bank.

Mr.De La Rosa. Whatever happened to the complex investigation you had going on the X-EDC DIRECTOR SALOMON TORRES ? The investigation into the police chiefs recordings? The sexual harassment? The letter of no confidence on the police chief ? You have done nothing to address the issue. Mr. De La Rosa GO HOME. Oh one last thing and why has the MAYOR AND COMMISSION not taken action on you ? The TAXPAYER and VOTERS ARE WATCHING THIS.

The mess in San Benito is easy to handle. All the mayor and commission need to do is listen to the chief's recordings. If there are violations of city policy, rules and regulations then take action.To easy.

To the Mayor and Commissioners what is it going to take to get rid of Chief Galvan? Just look at the number of good officers that have left the PD it's not for better jobs it's because u can't do ur job with Galvan as Chief. Mayor and Commissioners u need to listen to our Officers that remain. Just look at the Firefighters their moral is at the highest level. Just look at the sick leave it's been cut by at least 70%. We have good officers it's time you guys help them out. All of u are elected by our citizens so let's do this and get a real police Chief

Mr. Benito E. Cortez (aka Concerned Citizen),

How many effing times do you have to be told that the recordings “illegally downloaded” from a PRIVATE SERVER at the SBPD are private and anybody in possession of said recordings are subject to prosecution for “possession of stolen property”.

Everyone in the city of San Benito is aware that you and your crony’s have been shopping snippets of these recordings to the San Benito News, the VMS, the Monitor, and all the RGV TV stations. They have all told you the same thing…. ”There is no story there!” The recordings were “legally recorded” as allowed by the State of Texas. No laws (federal or state) were broken.

The only two commissioners who have no confidence in the City Manager are your two buddies in the City Commission, Tony Gonzalez and Esteban Rodriguez. They voted against hiring the City Manager from the very beginning. There is no secret there. Everyone in San Benito knows it.

In regards to the “No Confidence Letter from the SBPD union”, of the few members of the SBPD who signed, the majority are out on long-term “Workers Comp” and want to keep it that way. Chief Galvan and the Administration want to put them back to work but they are against that; hence, their willingness to sign the letter.

Finally, the spelling and grammar by some of these San Bene commenters are, for lack of a better word, atrocious. The word is MORALE, not MORAL. The word is WONDER, not WOUNDER. The statement “Just look at the Firefighters their moral is at the highest level.” If what you are saying is that….their moral(e) is at the highest level?,,,, that means they are happy with high morale.

Please don't judge the rest of the San Bene residents by the illiteracy displayed here.

I was disappointed that ELRRUNRRUN was open to publishing these nonsense. I hope Mr. Montoya does not agree to publish these "illegally obtained" recordings.

Boston is nice this time of the year. The city of Austin is looking for a city manager. Go home.

The citizens of San Benito should be grateful to have one of the best qualified Police Chiefs in the State or Texas working for that city.

Where is the arrest on the person or persons responsible for the so called theft of the chief's recording ? Let me guess its a very complex investigation. The truth of the matter is the city can't​ afford the contents of the recordings to come out.

City property, city time, city employee! Where do you get that it is private? It is the tax payers property! And we the citizens want to see or hear what type of employee we have acting as a Police Chief.

Privacy and security are important to any office or business (public, government, or private). Each government office at the local, state, or federal level tries to balance the interest of consumer privacy with the requirements of open government. They try to ensure that they are protecting your privacy as best they can under the laws.

The information retained by a municipal government will not be disclosed to anybody simply by walking in and demanding to see the information.

The information will be released after the City receives an open records request and they are REQUIRED to disclose the information under the Public Information Act.

Just because the city is funded with taxpayer dollars does not mean that any citizen or city employee can download information and make it public. How would you feel if an employee downloaded your personal information from the Human Resources server and made it public just because the server was purchased with taxpayer dollars?

If you want information from the City, you submit a request for information by following established procedures. After legal review, the information may or may not be released depending on the confidentiality involved.

Get real Dude! City vehicles are purchased with tax payer dollars, why don’t you go take one for a ride. When caught, try using the excuse “I am a taxpayer and I paid for the city vehicle.” Good luck with that.

Your argument has no merit.

Okay CHIEF settle down. At the end of the day when the sneaky recordings come out who took them isn't gonna matter. What gonna matter is what is said and who said it. I call buff. Mr. Montoya has been around long enough to know what he can and can't do.

Mr. Benito E. Cortez & Co.,

This is not the CHIEF as you imply.

At the end of the day and the copied taped recordings are made public, it IS going to matter to those in possession of the copies and to the employee who copied them illegally and distributed them. Here is a hint for you: MOTORCYCLE.

Please, stop your BS-ing and make them public. I believe Mr. Montoya has received the heads-up he needed to realize what he is dealing with.

Either make the tapes public or SERIOUSLY.

Have a pleasant weekend!

GO ASTROS

10 signs for spotting a sociopath

ALL MICHAEL GALVAN..... and all his co-workers can confirm this. Lol!!

#1) Sociopaths are charming. Sociopaths have high charisma and tend to attract a following just because people want to be around them. They have a "glow" about them that attracts people who typically seek guidance or direction. They often appear to be sexy or have a strong sexual attraction. Not all sexy people are sociopaths, obviously, but watch out for over-the-top sexual appetites and weird fetishes.

#2) Sociopaths are more spontaneous and intense than other people. They tend to do bizarre, sometimes erratic things that most regular people wouldn't do. They are unbound by normal social contracts. Their behavior often seems irrational or extremely risky.

#3) Sociopaths are incapable of feeling shame, guilt or remorse. Their brains simply lack the circuitry to process such emotions. This allows them to betray people, threaten people or harm people without giving it a second thought. They pursue any action that serves their own self interest even if it seriously harms others. This is why you will find many very "successful" sociopaths in high levels of government, in any nation.

#4) Sociopaths invent outrageous lies about their experiences. They wildly exaggerate things to the point of absurdity, but when they describe it to you in a storytelling format, for some reason it sounds believable at the time.

#5) Sociopaths seek to dominate others and "win" at all costs. They hate to lose any argument or fight and will viciously defend their web of lies, even to the point of logical absurdity.

#6) Sociopaths tend to be highly intelligent, but they use their brainpower to deceive others rather than empower them. Their high IQs often makes them dangerous. This is why many of the best-known serial killers who successfully evaded law enforcement were sociopaths.

#7) Sociopaths are incapable of love and are entirely self-serving. They may feign love or compassion in order to get what they want, but they don't actually FEEL love in the way that you or I do.

#8) Sociopaths speak poetically. They are master wordsmiths, able to deliver a running "stream of consciousness" monologue that is both intriguing and hypnotic. They are expert storytellers and even poets. As a great example of this in action, watch this interview of Charles Manson on YouTube.

#9) Sociopaths never apologize. They are never wrong. They never feel guilt. They can never apologize. Even if shown proof that they were wrong, they will refuse to apologize and instead go on the attack.

#10) Sociopaths are delusional and literally believe that what they say becomes truth merely because they say it! Charles Manson, the sociopathic murderer, is famous for saying, "I've never killed anyone! I don't need to kill anyone! I THINK it! I have it HERE! (Pointing to his temple.) I don't need to live in this physical realm..."
