Excuse my ignorance, but what is OP-13 or whatever? There goes the Gallegos name again, so is it also related to the IES?
Well well well
bluster just like trump
Doubt there is any relation to IES - one is self made the other government contracts
Unless you see something the rest don’t
OP 10:33.....wish you could create some good paying jobs instead of giving $ to questionable back slapping events.
All these things OP 33 does are nice, but likely just generate income tax breaks and only produce further welfare dependence when we should be making a work force with independence from hand outs.
After talking to someone from this organization I was not at all impressed. They seem to only want tax breaks and a pat on the back for helping.
Too bad the well publicized pitch to rehab the old hotel downtown didnt work out.
It's all about $.
If you really want to make Brownsville great again and have the $, get an investment group of multiple millionaires from our area to do a miracle on this eyesore.
Yea! How much has the blue jean mayor/millionaire contributed to the city. He takes from the city for his ventures and pockets. What about millionaires Ruben Gallegos'team? They only give when their name goes on it and they go around telling everyone how great they are.
