Acting through an attorney as a "body corporate," Texas State Legislature District 37 encompassing most of Brownsville and South Padre Island claims it has been subjected to continued abused by its current representative since he has held the seat for the past 34 years.
District 37 – through its spokesperson – charged the abuse has been continuous and that at times Rene Oliveira – the alleged abuser, was joined in the gang rape by the state senator Eddie Lucio Jr. and his son, Eddie Da Third.
"District 37 says that it's time it came out and told the world about the ongoing abuse because it wants to encourage others in a similar situation to come out of the shadows and speak out," the statement reads. "I was handed over to Rene many years ago by his influential family, but everybody kept the dark secret hushed up. Enough is enough."*For example, even though he claims he champions education, Oliveira would have to admit that the number of people with less than high school education is 40,134, or about 41.7 percent compared to the statewide 18.4 percent.
*Persons in poverty numbered 65,090, or 39.1 percent compared to the statewide 7.7 percent. Likewise, per capita income was $13,416 compared to the statewide average of $26,513.
The term barefoot and pregnant comes to mind. At the same time, Oliveira announced in his campaign finance report for the filing period from June 1 through December 31, 2017 that he has collected $126,107.70 in contributions to continue the orgy and seek reelection.
Some people have short memories. In 1991, Lucio and Oliveira bought into the disastrous "partnership" between TSC and the UT System (Rene's alma mater) that required the college district to foot the bill for UT to "partner" with TSC.
The taxpayers of the poorest community in the state and nation would pay for the oil-and-gas wealthy UT System to be here. Over the next 21 years, the community college district – under the "leadership" of President Julieta Garcia – "transferred" more than $1 billion to the UT System, indebted its taxpayers with $120 million construction bonds, and produced dismal graduation and retention rates in return. Tuition was charged at university level even for vocational classes and the community college mission abandoned.
It has only been since 2011 that an independent TSC board of trustees opted to separate itself from the UT System and gain operational independence two years alter in 2013.
But before that happened, the trustees went to Lucio and Oliveira and asked them to support the separation and allow the college to return to its original mission of providing affordable, accessible opportunity to local students.
Oliveira had submitted a bill ( HB 3689) backed by then-UTB-TSC president Julieta Garcia to turn over all the assets of the community college to the UT System diametrically opposed to the wishes of college trustees and residents. It took the testimony before the committee of TSC trustee Adela Garza and even gadfly Erasmo Castro to try to convince Oliveira to amend the bill to make TSC an independent institution. Even the chairman of the committee disapproved of the original Oliveira bill. A substitute bill had to be filed by State Rep. Dennis Bonnen, a Republican to boot.
If not for the resistance to the bill by the TSC trustees and district residents, Oliveira and Lucio were content to have TSC and all the assets nurtured by the district's taxpayers since 1926 gobbled up by the UT System, except for the $128 million in bond debt. As it was, Oliveira submitted a bill that in effect erased the $10 million in rent owed TSC by the UT System.
Now the worse fears of those back in 1988 that the new entity – in this case the UT Rio Grande Valley – would relegate Brownsville to a satellite campus without say so in its operations or academic decisions, have come full circle and a self-fulfilling prophesy.
These turns of events for the worse in the educational opportunities for students in the Matamoros-Brownsville are were made possible by our state legislators despite the fact that Oliveira's uncle – the late Arnulfo "Nuco" Oliveira – served as president of TSC and Pan Am Brownsville before his death.
Additionally, trustee David Oliveira – Nuco's son and Rene's cousin, both Texas Exes – showed his loyalty was to the UT System and not to the people of the district by voting for Garcia's plan to turn over TSC's assets to UTB and to continue to let the community taxpayers subsidize it.
But even worse than that, both Oliveiras and Lucio were willing to turn their backs on the 224 years of the labor of love of Matamoros and Brownsville residents to provide an education to their children.
At least three women say they had "creepy" experiences with the Lothario of Browntown but can't get themselves to complain about them. publicly. If and when they do, they might provide some specifics about his behavior.
And poor District 37, didn't even get a kiss out of it.

Look at that picture of Tad Hasse wearing those filthy shoes along with the jeans he has not washed in years. He looks and dresses like a bum and wonders why no one will take him seriously.
Can thise same group file a similar action against the Mayor and commissioners here in Brownsville? Sounds like these elected officials here have done the same thing to the city as he has done to house district 37.
Hasse is a disgrace. Educational? He looks like a Hobo!
The citizens of Cameron County "don't just accept corruption, the demand corrupion", thus Rene and the Lucio, Jr. and Da Turd are our elected officials; guaranteeing corruption in government. Is it because of the Democratic culture, the culture of the "palanca", or just the fact that local voters are ignorant and continue to serve the patron. Rene Oliviera is a womanizing wino and his list of contributors indicate that his vote is for sale and that he has no loyalty to local constituents. He was loyal to Queen Julieta and UT System and took their side against local taxpayers. And look at what it got us; a return to the 1980's system of a split university and Brownsville sucks hind tit again. Rene is a slug!
I will vote for anyone running against Rene Oliviera, Eddie Lucio, Jr. and Eddie Lucio III (The Turd). All are a threat to the development of the area, as long as their votes are for sell to special interests.
I read in the news there was a Representative in Pennsylvania being investigated for using state funds to settle with victims accusing him of misconduct.
I wonder if Fartandhold in Corpus should be investigated.
Everybody knows Oliveira is a bonafied DRUNK and WOMEN ABUSER. Eventually it was bound to catch up to him. Now is his time to pay for abusing staff and women in general. What's up with this "GANG RAPE" that he participated in! We demand to know more. We know of women that he took advantage off (Sexually) and when he was done with them, he would just move on to the next conquest/woman. He has been using his power over women for years, he is heartless when it comes to getting what he wants (Sex). Watch, more women are going to come out to denounce his abuse. The Lucio's are no better. The Monster's/Oliveira's time is now, let's get rid of this sociopath.
I think the correct spelling is FartONhold. FartANDhold reverses the order of internal combustion. Once you FART, you don't have anything to HOLD; whereas you can HOLD and HOLD until your intestines balloon with shit gas AND THEN you pop open the chute and let it rip. I could be wrong.

In TOTAL AGREEMENT with you.
Need MORE independent voters, hard to do in this region that no honest democrat or republican want to even recognize that exists.
Rene is coming up in the world. He was in Cobbleheads tonight with a very hot blond in a red dress.
Was he paying out of his pocket or charging everything to the tax payers? pinche mamon
Democracy only works when there is an informed and involved electorate. Where an informed and involved electorate is not found, then office holders are selected by party (knot on the string) or planca. Brownsville people have no expectation that government will work for them, their only hope it to know somebody in power that will do them a favor if needed.
This is the reason that deeply embedded and corrupt office holders will continue in office. The folks can pull the strings and levers if a favor is needed.
To: 11:50
You want to get a point across learn to first write coherently. You make no sense.
I understood 11:50 pretty easily.
Ill give you the cliff notes because I doubt you'll understand.
In short he said that Brownsville is where it is due to its ignorant voters.
Was that so hard?
2:19 PM... I am truly sorry that you failed to understand, but I didn't want to write in 4th grade syntax or Pocho. Sometimes, I forget just how English challenged the people here are.
To know it all at 11:50
But you did pendejo, (Tex-Mex) don't know what pocho means. Have you ever heard of Colloquial, I guess not.
You mean like pretty easily ad cliff notes (study guides). You are the true example of ignorance here in the RGV. Must be from somewhere up north...
Do not go very far with your ignorant voters. Just look who got elected President. Seems like the whole country is full of ignorant voters.
So sorry that this area is not fit or measures up to your standards, but there is a way out. Just leave or live with it. Degrading, chastising and humiliating the area where you live only shows your Obnoxious and emotional mental state of mind. Embrace and help. Do not destroy, because it make you a part of what you hate.
11:50 here....FYI I was born in Brownsville 78 years ago and am a product of the Brownsville Schools and TSC. This doesn't make me from the North, nor does it mean I hate Brownsville. I had plenty of opportunities to leave, but decided to stay because I care deeply about the people of Brownsville.
Some folks here are very thin skinned about Brownsville, thinking it is perfect and should not be changed or improved. For them, living in the poorest and least educated town in the country is something to be celebrated and be proud of.
Caring about the people of Brownsville, means trying to lift them from poverty and ignorance. This begins with recognizing and acknowledging the root problems. We have corrupt leaders at all levels, who do not have the best interest of the people at heart. The people continue to elect such people, because they are ignorant of what good government is, never having seen it. They take their notions of what government is and does, from Mexico to the South. Certainly you can point to examples of bad government to the North, but it corruption at a far lower level. We set the high water mark for electing crooks.
So continue to dis me if you wish and instruct me to leave this place, but I am here to stay and will continue to work for the betterment of the community as a whole. However, I will not put on blinders or fall back on, "well pues, that is who are are", bullshit. You can never be better and more unless you think you can be better and more.
No body asked you for your resume or your history. The only concern is your put down of all the citizens here, and your continuation of insults. In your 78 years you have learned nothing but hate for this town and its people. You continue to double down without any respect. You continue with your rants about electing corrupt politicians, yet you offer no statistics or documented proof. You call this town "the poorest and least educated town in the country is something to be celebrated and be proud of" your words. Show us proof of that.
Who the heck do you think your are? People exercise their right to vote and if that politician turns out to be corrupt, in your mind you blame the voter.
Well Mr. Phd. highly educated in politic and know it all, you are wrong.
So you are trying to lift US from poverty and ignorance by insults and Innuendos. You wrote "well pues, that is who are are", bullshit. You can never be better and more unless you think you can be better and more" Well said so we should take your advice, while you can't even express your views, fine example.
What are you saying that the whites up north are less corrupt, and you blame Mexico. What sewerage pipe did you crawled out of?
12:56..
There is no such word as "sewerage". There is a "sewer" through which "sewage" flows. You asked for proof of ignorance, well there you have it.
but "it" corruption at a far lower level.
"We" set the high water mark - including yourself as an ignorant voter
well "pues", that is who "are are"
planca - no such word
You certainly are not perfect either.
