PCT. 4 RUIZ VOTES, ABSTAINS, FROM PRIMERA AGREEMENTS


May 2018 - Interlocal between County and Primera is approved unanimously.
Commissioner Gus Ruiz,  Pct. 4, states he doesn’t need to pull any items from consent agenda.



(May 2018 Video 1, 2) – Interlocal agreement included in consent items; some are taken out for discussion. Comm Pct 4 does not abstain.

August 13,2019  (Video 3, 4)Commissioner Ruiz,  Pct 4 votes for the Interlocal
August 13, 2019 - County reimburses Primera for monies not spent on project after project is complete and closed out.That's Auditor Martha Galarza explaining the payment to the court. Comm. Ruiz, Pct 4 abstains from the reimbursement approval to Primera during claims. (Video 4)

So what had changed between the first vote and the second? Shouldn't have Ruiz abstained from the first vote as well? Or has he unilaterally decide whether there is any conflict of interest on his own?

Es Bribe or no es Bribe? Conflict of Interest o no? folks you all be the judge. Big raise o no big raise? that is the question?

Gus "Da' Pussy" Ruiz has some explaining to do. Maybe he can explain himself before he votes for his "raise".

The potential for corruption seems high in the County Government. There seems to be no shame and no continuity of government procedures. These greedy bastards are taking advantage of the system and the taxpayers of Cameron County. Let's hope the house is full for the upcoming public forum on their pay raise. Greedy pendejos.

Instead of complaining in local blogs, all that curse, call names, SHOW UP to the county commissioners meeting, take a friend, a neighbor, get a good size crowd, find 1 or 2 good speakers and simply say to them that if they vote themselves a raise, to enjoy it while they can, the people will vote them out.
Our local Democrats have NO SHAME, they are no different than the orange baboon. I am ASHAMED and EMBARRASSED to see what inept people run our county.

The solution is easy just tell the court to remove the port from our tax rolls and the pay raise will not be contested by the tax payers. DO IT!!!
