"Noting his strong support for community colleges as a state official over the decades, Lucio said nevertheless that “the Texas A&M System is the only system poised to take action immediately. ... There’s no doubt where I stand in support of junior colleges. However, we have a chance to have the presence of two major flagship universities in this community.” Brownsville Herald
Special to El Rrun-Rrun
If Senator Eddie Lucio Jr. had had his way, he and former State Rep. Rene Oliveira would have passed bills in their respective chambers that would have transferred the assets of Texas Southmost College to the UT System and abolished the college this community has nurtured since 1926.
The gall of this demented eunuch to say he has shown "strong support" for community colleges as a state official.
It wasn't until TSC supporters showed up en masse to his state office as he and Oliveira were put their noggins together on how to steal the assets of this community to hand it over to the oil-and-gas-wealthy UT System that our own little Eddie realized the peasants were having none of it. For years he has relied on his orthodontist-created Cheshire-cat smile to weasel his way to reelection.
It's time for Eddie to go.Like Oliveira, he has outworn his welcome. He has repeatedly shown he represents no one's interest than his own.
As they say, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. He now wants to anoint his son with the mantle of the Texas senate because, well, because he is cut from the same manta as his father. He gets a cut from every water district in his state rep jurisdiction, and even was the legal counsel for none other then the Ruben Gallegos (senior and Jr.) scam flying under the radar as International Educational Services.
Little Eddie III was getting $125,000 a year to put his stamp of legal approval to the Gallegos tag team as they collected some $700,000 each yearly and lived high off the hog babysitting undocumented kids until they could be sent off to relatives up north.
And Senator Eddie Jr.'s Democratic colleagues in the legislature consider him a part of the opposition because he has traditionally courted the favor of Republicans who see the Rio Grande Valley as part of Mexico. Yup, Ed is their chum, or should we say chump?
His vote with Republicans to do away with the "two-thirds rule" that gave Democrats a voice effectively did away with that protection and allowed Republicans to run roughshod over every Democratic interest, including the blatant gerrymandering of the state to favor their right-wing agenda.
In the past, senators used the rule to scuttle measures on voter identification, abortion and redistricting. But no more, thanks to Lucio.
Like Trump, he fawns over veterans, but never served.
And he imposes his morals on women, authoring a bill that requires them to be preached to on alternatives to abortion and make them view a presentation arguing against their decision. Why should they be made to go over that dreadful path once again to please his morality? It's bad enough that they had to deal with their conscience and then be made to walk through that arduous road again to please Eddie and his buddy the bishop.
Maybe he should introduce a bill in the Senate to require background checks for priests to red-flag potential pedophiles.
"Strong advocate" for community colleges? Give me a break.

If a terrorist in another country killed Americans, the US would at least request extradition. But how many people in this country cannot even comprehend that Mexico would do the same thing for a shooting in the U.S. A clear demonstration of how our self-perceived exceptionalism destroys even a semblance of perspective.
Verification Alex Dominguez is running for State Senate. He has my support. He proved himself as effective and as a real Democrat. Alex just needs to announce. He is playing with wildfire. Lucio Jr at the last minute will pull his application for a place on the ballot so his son can file a last minute application. Alex just needs to do it. He will have my support from day one.

He seems to be okay with TSTC getting the mod over TSC, and TSTC is a "community college," so what's your fucking beef, Montoya? Did you drink from McHale's beer last night, Guey? smh
PEE WEE NO VALE WEE WEE

Why doesn't the "special to El rrun" writer rrun for office? Put your ideas to work for the greater good instead of just harping about problems all the time.
Yet, you idiots vote this POS crook into office along with his utra-brite son? i wonder if he still has any of that $22 Million that he and the port commissioners five fingered?
Lucio III (turd) and daddy lucio want to do the benny ochoa scam like in port isabel, but i think the people got a hold of that one, sorry eddie junior AND THE TURD it aint going to happen that eazy.
On an early Sunday morning around 7 am in 2003, I saw Eddie Lucio II drive up to the sidewalk in front of Jacob Brown Auditorium on International and drop off a young man who was obviously tipsy. Lucio's shiny black SUV had just come across the bridge from Matamoros. He and the young man were in the backseat and someone else was driving when this young man was ejected. I have always wondered about this...
El Mojon es Puto
The ‘best job in America’ pays $108,000 a year - but in the poorest city in the country you can get a city, county, school, port and any board job at over 200k a year.
ahhh someone is starting to pay for posts ...must be because of an upcoming election season...
we all know "who" is parading a candidate around town.
es puto o joto?
the turd es mariconcito? just asking?
Eddie Lucio Jr, believe it time to retire dude, ya mamaste muncho. Ye el Turd dont it think about running for your daddys seat cacahuates.
The guy behind el sucio on the first pic is going "why is he scratching his ass"?
Gee I wonder what the payoff was for this little trick to come about? Speaking of tricks,
There is lots of buzz about the ‘second causeway’. Shouldn’t that be the THIRD causeway?? People forget about the one that disappeared!
Some of the shit that gets pulled here in El Valle is beyond belief!
The famous one is the bridge to no where now we have a training center to no where, LNG to your nose and a steel company in hiding great work beyond belief.
Nice entry, Atkinson. Just keep pulling TSC’s strings. We all know who you are.
TSTC is not a community college. It is a Technical College and a member of a state system. The only Community College serving the immediate Brownsville area is TSC (the oldest junior college in Texas). The decision to go ahead with the MOU for Texas A&M, a fine institution which I have attended, over the local tax supported entity whose mission is explicitly to address technical, vocational and academic preparation for students in our community is a scandal!
Welcome to scandalville texas where money rules
Who cares if he's gay ! No matter what he is ,he is still DISHONEST !! Wasn't he on IES payroll working 40 hr. weeks and how was that possible? Now he uses his 40 hr. weeks to push presentations for his gyms. Wasn't daddy on "THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE PROJECT"? Daddy pushes his high morals, but how many skeletons are in their closets? Little Eddie has a great teacher by his side and Yes , they may try to pull the Benny Ochoa scam.. Maybe there should be a law to prevent these insider scams from happening. The word shame is not in their vocabulary.
