FRIENDS OF LIBRARY GIANT USED BOOK SALE IS ON!

(Ed.'s Note: It comes around just once in a great while, but bibliophiles in the city will tell you that the Friends of the Library giant used books sales is a bargain. Not only can you get your fiction, but biographies, non-fiction, educational, reference and even Spanish-language books are sold at a bargain rate of 50 cents for paperbacks and $1 for hard cover. 

We strolled through the tables and came out with four hard-to-get tomes in Spanish corridos, cancioneros populares and refranes. The selection is huge. You'll kick yourself if you don't go peruse the offerings. The sale lasts from January 24 to February 9.)

EDDIE LUCIO III AND JR SUCK!!!
The property tax consulting firms are not your ally if you are a typical Texas homeowner. They are a root cause of the problem

The equity appeal scam is lucrative industry in Texas. Bettencourt and the Republican contingent in the legislature have company when it comes to pulling the wool over the eyes of Texas homeowners. If you look at the staff roster of Popp Hutcheson, you will see Eddie Lucio III listed as special counsel for the firm. Eddie III, a Democratic house representative from the Brownsville district, is also the son of Democratic state senator Eddie Lucio Jr. When it comes to trickle-down theory, both Democrats and Republicans enjoy the color of money.

Bargain rate? That is what they are normally sold for! What do they use the money for? Perhaps to buy books related to Brownsville History or South Texas and so that the Texana Section is returned to the Southmost library?

People don't ever arrive at brownsville airport at 5pm it will take you approx 4 hours to get to international blvd and another 2 or 3 to get where all the motels are at (express). This is ridiculous and really an incompetent operations from the city elected officials. No wonder this airport will never ger off the ground. Run by incompetent administrators and I understand that the director recently got promoted? REALLY?

On Friday, Rodriguez implied that the reason for the seals was in part because information related to the case and possible co-defendants is not yet public.

If those people that write so dirty about Brownsville ARE and/or LIVE in Brownsville have that mentality about their hometown, then THEY are part of the problem. Dont write in a blog. Stand in the commission chambers and protest, VOTE, get a candidate that you like or YOU run.
It's not the same. We all talk, we all are better than them, AS LONG AS WE ARE NOT ASKED to do "their" job.

I heard he was going to the airport as the new director at 100k a year highly qualified just like the city engineers with their plastic curbs

I heard the city is going to open classes to offer GEDs and hire more directors at 80k a year... The classes are free. Enrollment and seats are going sky-hi
