AFTER BROWNTOWN, SAN BENE, MISSION, NOW MERCEDES

The Mercedes City Commission named former city of Brownsville’s longtime attorney Mark Sossi as its new legal counsel on Tuesday.

The city issued request for qualifications for a new attorney following the resignation of Juan Molina, who worked in Mercedes for 14 years. Molina said he resigned to focus on “other business ventures” as well as continue with his Weslaco-based law firm.

Sossi, who identified himself in front of commissioners as part of the Brownsville-based Troiani & Sossi Law Firm, said the firm was started “specifically representing governmental entities.”

Sossi currently serves as city attorney for San Benito and handles civil service negotiations for the city of Mission.

“ It’s very inspiring and very motivating to be part of projects,” Sossi said, noting he is “very thankful” to the Mercedes City Commission for the opportunity.

Sossi, who’s been an attorney for 34 years, and his law partner Anthony Troiani will attend Mercedes City Commission meetings and ensure the city is complying with the Texas Open Meetings Act as well as the Texas Public Information Act. They will also provide legal guidance when the city commission is in executive session.

Nothing wrong with Sossi patronizing strip clubs, just don't marry the table dancers.
