(Ed.'s Note: Nobody disputes that the members of the Cameron County Commissioners Court - after 24 years without one - deserve some kind of raise. But the bite they are taking out of the pie seems an excess to many taxpayers. If someone did a survey, we would predict that the majority of the public, say 60 to 70 percent or more, would be against the size of the raise.
The chickens come home to roost this coming Tuesday. Will a majority (three votes) bite the bullet and approve the raises? If they do, they will have to bear the umbrage of an enraged population. If hey don't, they will still be held in suspicion for having proposed the raises in the first place. This is not the place where a politician likes to find him/herself.)

Well, why don't you commission a credible fucking survey, Montoya! smfh
You offer nothing to support your headline. Wow.
Look at the outrage on the name change of the street and they went ahead and approved it, so the same here they don't give a dam the whole universe could be againt this undeserved pay raise and they wouldn't care. The example has been set and the city started it.
Elections are next year just take note on who will vote yes and vote all of them out this coming election.

Read the comments estupido must be a paid supporter what they offered you a job a pay raise hire your whole family at the county???
Can I have your commissioner spot guys, I love working in a position that doesn't have to show up to work and get pay$$$$ make plenty of mistakes and spend money on your friends first and taxpayers last
What a life in Cameron county.
Where can I apply for the County Judge or County Commissioner spot?? Show up once a month to sit on your ass for 2 or 3 hours. Now that's living!! There has to be something morally wrong with all of you elected officials if you believe this pay rate is right. If there is an once of integrity in any of you you please consider doing the right thing. Then again it's Cameron County, all of you SOB's are greedy and corrupt.
County judge and county commissioners should be a volunteer position maybe give them $50 for a meeting for gas. It's not like they actually work for the county. Most have full time jobs and do this county thing part time for compadres getting kick back money and contracts for el primo. Also I would like to add that Guz Ruiz your career in the county is over literally anyone can run and beat you next election your a disgrace to the office and the Marine core.
Cameron County’s population is nearly 424,000, according to a 2018 Census Bureau estimate. Its per-capita income is $27,241, among the lowest in the state, and has a poverty rate of 31.2 percent.
And while there a number of other metrics that could be taken into consideration — per-capita income and poverty levels for instance — the county believes raises are justified, he said, while adding that he doesn’t speak for the county judge or commissioners court.
Compared to counties with populations of 100,000 and more, Cameron County was second from the bottom in what it pays elected officials, he said. Among counties with populations of 300,000, Cameron County was the lowest, Sepulveda said, noting that the disparity is worse for some elected official positions than for others.
NOW WE KNOW WHY HE WAS RE-HIRED!!!! PINCHE MAMON!!!
IN OTHER WORDS HE DON'T GIVE A SHIT WHAT WE THE TAX PAYER MAKES A YEAR.
Yea, but like the mayor and city commissioners in Harlingen! THEY don't listen to their bosses being the taxpayers!
They'll give themselves the raise and just hide like Gus when the people of Santa Rosa were looking for his representation and help!
And most of them have their regular income from "other" regular jobs...pero, they put on a good smile when they ran for office...y la gente, hay pobrecitos....as if they did'nt know how much the job paid before running for the office.
Juan sepulveda is just another little mamoncito, bailed out on the City of Pharr back in late 199o's when the finance companies called the note on the pharr int bridge, he didnt know what to do so he quit, left the city in ruins. So you all really think he is a genius? really puro cabrito ese puto.
That picture reminds me of ALL the county commissioners bunch of envidiosos, muertos de hambres todos!!!! They should use that pic on their re-elciton campains. If they don't we will to remind every voter not to vote for any of them.
