IN THE 197TH RACE, A PLETHORA OF SIGNS PLACED ILLEGALLY





(Ed.'s Note: What do the three campaign signs above have in common? Would you believe that they are considered illegal under state law and City of Brownsville ordinances?  Many of our readers have told us that numerous Sonia Herrera signs (for 197th District Judge) have been placed on the right of way, a violation of state law.

And the Adolfo Cordova trailer signs (also a candidate for the 197th) violate City of Brownsville ordinances that say that the largest signs permitted are 4' x 8'. This is the first time Cordova has vied for elected office, so he (and his campaign workers) might not be as well versed in election rules. Herrera, on the other hand, ran against Judge Arturo Nelson Cisneros before for the 138th District Court.

Cordova, for example, might want to address the issue quickly since the city inspectors have already placed a red tag on this and on others mounted on trailers (click on graphic to enlarge).  
Besides Herrera and Cordova, Gerardo "Gerry" Linan and Carlos Masso are also in that race.

Cordova will not get my vote! If he can't interpret and manage within the election laws, I have no confidence that he can interpret and manage within any legal situation. He can blame this on anyone, but in the end, the buck stops with him as the candidate. Making mistakes in the campaign can be indicative of his making mistakes in office. Cordova is out with me...doesn't pay attention to detail.

Political advertisement paid for by Carlos “I’m doing the same shit but I pay Montoya to smear my opponents” Masso.

Take a gander at trevino signs on 7th street and Harrison. Not only on the right of way but on county property.

Herrera has no clue what she is doing so I’ll chalk that off to being dumb but Cordova is taking a page out of the Sanchez boys book. It’s didnt work for Dan and it won’t work for him! This guy thinks he’s above the law already and he hasn’t won anything!

And Cordova still has not removed the tagged sign as of this week? Come on Cordova, you are a smart attorney, what the hell are you doing? Monkeys running your campaign is what.
Meanwhile Linan parties it up with loose women at all the local bars, what a great judge that would make.
