GARCIA'S APPOINTMENT MAKES IT SIX BISD BOARD MEMBERS



















(Ed.'s Note: On Tuesday, 138th District Court Judge Arturo Cisneros Nelson administered the oath of office to appointed Brownsville Independent School District trustee Eddie Garcia, a retired Brownsville Police Dept. officer. Garcia is replacing trustee Erasmo Castro, who was facing a removal action petition and lawsuit under Texas law that allows for the removal of elected officials after they have been charged with various violations, including DWI.

Garcia will serve until the next general election in November.

There are six trustees serving on the BISD board due to the bond restrictions upon trustee Dr. Sylvia Atkinson who has been changed with eight felony counts in federal court. Castro is charged with one misdemeanor DWI count. Atkinson, on the other hand, has eight felony counts of conspiracy and bribery and no removal petitions have been filed to remove her although she "voluntarily" said she would not attend district events, including board meetings, to comply withe the bond requirements imposed by the court.)

Otra vez, la burra al maiz! Same family controlling? Eddie is married into the Mariano Gonzales' family, the Aurora de la Garza family and the Luis Saenz family. What does that tell you? A generalization says, De el tal pelo, sale la estilla. Please, Eddie, prove these sayings wrong. We need someone in that board that has some common sense and does not let others pull their strings. Oh, two family members on two of our school boards? Something does not smell right! Prove yourself and prove us wrong.

Why do they bother? BISD is a cesspool. Still, teachers and kids excel. Adults suck the big one.

The suit was kind of big for Eddie. Erasmo dressed like a clown and acted up. Eddie, please bring respect. No clown shoes!

The gringo kid Art Nelson has morphed into Auturo Cisneros Nelson with the passage of time. Strange how Browntown politics can have such a profound changing effect on a fellow.

Eddie was worthless as a police officer, why do you all think this will change things? He could not handle patrol duties after getting kicked out of the detectives squad. A self proclaimed "legend", but his reputation follows him.

Wasn't he a security guard?

Ask the girls at the Horizon Clinic how they feel about this guy.

Yea, that's the problem, he's too nice! I can't see him in a scuffle or a foot pursuit. But I guess he was able to stay under the radar. Married to that family. OOOF. No wonder she walks around making a face like she's smelling dog poop all the time. Poor Guy!
