Special to El Rrun-Rrun
Today, after tabling the issue last Tuesday, the members of the Rio Grande City Consolidated Independent School board voted to fire current Brownsville Independent School District board counsel Baltazar Salazar who was requesting a three-year contract through which he would be paid $18,000 per month, or $216,000 per year.
Currently, he is billing the district $250 per hour. Members had questioned his billing of hours and said they could not afford the high-priced, Houston-based lawyer.
Did the board members of the Brownsville Independent School District know - or approve of - the fact that Salazar, who commands a $280,000 annual salary, was also moonlighting as board counsel for the Rio Grande City school district?
They already knew that Salazar had tried to expunge three felony convictions and that it was appealed by the Texas Department of Public Service and that the 13th Court of Appeals had reversed the expunction by the 107th District Court in Cameron County, in effect, confirming the convictions.
If the simple ranchers from Rio Grande City had gumption to fire Salazar, what's stopping our BISD board from following district policy against hiring felons? It just so happens that the president of the BISD board - Minerva Pena - boasts about her former employment as a DPS trooper. So who will he side with?

Thanks RGCISD board, this is the scum of the Valle.
juan you know how the sausage is made over at BISD, everyone gets a little piece each time salazar gets paid, follow the money honey.
How does a guy with 3 felonies become a BISD Attorney people can't even be substitute teacher with a background like that smh.
Minerva "And believe me, I used to be a state trooper" Pena,,,,,, fact is, she was not an actual trooper, but only a pencil pusher in an office.
but he gives us free taxi rides
all the way to spi and reynosa airport
questionable billing practices, no accountability for services, Rio Grande ISD or BISD?
Texas officer charged with murder, resigns after shooting
How many have been killed by police here in Brownsville HOW MANY????? And they are still working Juanito we need to know
If they get rid of him that means that Gustavo Ruiz (who is a lawyer ask him) could take his place. Ruiz could drive his ambulance to the meetings and then give the rides.
WOW do it so he can finger everybody do it do it do it
Salazar is the identical twin of Donald Trump. So he thinks! He does what he does because Congress/school board allows him to do. Interview each board member and see how each feels about this white/orange hair idiot. Half the time he does not even pay attention on what is taking place at the meeting.
And, maybe, he can become the whistle blower to expose all those shananigans under the table, even those coming from him.
Fire him so he can spill the beans
Dedo dedo dedo fire him
Everyone here post the dumbest things they can think of. Juanito this is the definition of nonsense! Guess when you have a drinking problem this is all you can do; spread half truths.
