WANNA PAY TAXES, GET NEW PLATES? COUNTY CLOSED TODAY


(Ed.'s Note: If you can make out through the glare, you will be able to read that the Cameron County Tax Assessor-Collector's Office in the old Wells Fargo Bank building is closed today. In Texas, the official holiday is February 18, but the county folks decided to preempt the state, apparently. In fact, all other county offices are also closed. Only the staff at the Cameron County Elections Office is doiong some busy work and had to come in today. We're sure that some folks will be miffed when they show up and find the building on Levee Street closed. City of Brownsville, state and federal offices are open.)

It's bullshit. It's so they can sleep off the cruda from their Super Bowl parties. San Benito CISD pulled the same bullshit as their "weather make-up day."

yeah right, the real reason is that in the past over 60% of the county employees call in sick on the Monday following Super Bowl Sunday. So instead of attempting to open with the remaining 40% of county employees our County Commissioners shut down the county with the assumption that they are celebrating President's Day.

Yes, Our County Democrats leading by example by not respecting the actual Holiday. They can change their beliefs for Holidays, Illegal Immigration,the Border Wall, Security, Privacy, Abortion, Sexual Harassment, the Exploitation of workers and uneducated people as they need be to meet their agenda. What can you expect when the Whole Democratic Party Nationwide believes they can do whatever they want, whenever they want and to whomever they want. What a Disgrace. God Bless the USA.

Actually it was closer to 50 years not 40, but who cares he's gone anyway.

Good for the city. Only believe what the herald don't write.
