juan will it matter? Really whoever is the new asst city manager. I surely dont see any difference in browntown. Its all the same, Bernal is a small town manager-la villa, falffurias. Seems to be like the scarecrow in the wizard of oz-no brains, nl direction, no leadership skills etc. Problem is too much bureaucracy, too many chiefs and NO indians. Things will never change os well, we will just continue with McAllen eating our lunch.

Its all about salaries the more idiotas you have under your supervision (sic) the more money you get paid.
Now the rest of the city department directors will follow suit.
City of Directors and Ass-_____ fill in the blank: A kisser, mamones, family, friend, night friends etc...

Bernal felt that if BISD new supt needed 2 new deputy supts, why should he lag behind. Gutierrez hired 2 of his Lady Buddies from Edinburg at almost over a half million dollars plus his $350,000 to run a district that was being runned by one lady with complete success. Board kept telling her to cut down on personnel and not hire replacements because there was no money, so where did this new money come from. Where is Bernal getting the money for his deputies?
Compadre system is alive and well in Brownsville and we sit here and just watch them get away with it.
