LET'S MAKE TEXAS SOUTHMOST COLLEGE GREAT AGAIN!

Special to El Rrun-Rrun

Last week I filed for re-election to the Texas Southmost College Board of Trustees. I am very proud of the many accomplishments that our college has achieved over the past several years.

Not only have we been accredited by SACSCOC, but our nursing program is thriving alongside the newly created workforce programs of welding, scaffolding and shipfitting with an all-time-high enrollment of more than 9,000 students.

It has been an incredible honor and privilege to serve our community as chairwoman of the board, but our students’ impressive outcomes are what bring true joy. The board has committed significant funding for new technological, workforce and academic programs as well as much-needed renovations of our buildings and grounds.

All of these challenges have been accomplished while lowering tuition twice and without raising taxes, a pledge I renew today. The board of trustees have put students first and their futures are the light by which our policies are guided.

I am truly humbled by your past support. This is my hope for our students: Our commitment to excellence at Texas Southmost College is not simply a slogan, but a goal to which we have dedicated all our efforts.

The true evaluation of any candidate is found in a simple question: Has he or she kept his or her word with the voters? With confidence I say that I have kept my promises.
I look forward to informing the constituents in our college district all that we have accomplished as well as our vision for the future. Once again, I humbly ask for your vote and support.

Adela has had her run. Vote her out!!!!

Adela is not a visionary or a person who can frame the college's future. She is Old School, for one. Plus she meddles in other city politics, like in the last mayor's race when she went all ga-ga for Trey Mendez. Embarrassing.

Question for you: Why is Sylvia Atkinson still on your payroll? Is that so that she can claim she has a steady employment as required by her bond requirements? This character puts a blemish in your staff and besides that, she seems to have strings pulling another one of your staff members. If they keep moving the trial date, how much longer will you keep her on paid administrative leave and who is doing her job?

MAKING AMERICA VULNERABLE AGAIN

Anonymous said...

Jan. 31, 2020, was the worst day for democracy in America since April 12, 1861, when South Carolina forces opened fire on Fort Sumter. Both days represented a moment when an old guard representing a dying way of life placed their own survival ahead of that of the United States and our Constitution.
In Texas the creation of the texas rangers a law agency made up of crimminals and murderers was the worst day in Texas

Re: Scoop

Brownsville is getting ready to give some airline $1mm to start up air service to Orlando an Las Vegas.
How many tourists do you think we are going to get coming here from those cities? Are they brain dead.
If those cities want our tourists, let them pay for the subsidy. Right?

Is this true ?

TAKING ACTION IS “ON THE VOTERS ”

Abbott spokesman John Wittman told the Tribune that the governor, who declared an “ethics emergency” this year, “will continue to advocate for stronger ethics reform going forward” because EDDIE LUCIO III EDDIE LUCIO JR should “be voting with the taxpayers’ pocketbooks in mind, not their own.”

EDDIE LUCIO III business ties with public entities a conflict of interest.
State Rep. Eddie Lucio III, a Democrat from Brownsville who has done bond underwriting work involving Cameron County — where his district is located — told the Tribune that it was unfair to call that work a conflict of interest.
The filings list Lucio's law practice as a party to eight underwriting transactions between three finance companies and Cameron County — where Lucio's district is located. Lucio said that he received "nominal" payment from the underwriters' attorneys for "very simple" work such as processing documents and collecting signatures.Underwriters effectively buy all the bonds, then profit by selling them to investors at a higher price.

EDDIE LUCIO III acted as intermediaries in bond deals. This means a finance company paid EDDIE LUCIO III to negotiate directly with the public entity that wants to issue the bonds.

“Let’s do something big; let’s think bigger and that’s something that when I was elected I thought ‘let’s make Brownsville a destination city, let’s bring people from other parts of the state, let’s bring them up from Northern Mexico and really make Brownsville a destination place’,” Brownsville Mayor Trey Mendez said. FROM THE DAILY.

What about the potholes, flooding, TRAFFIC JAMS EVERYWHERE can't get to the airport and can't get to a hotel after arriving here from the airport fixing these problems is THINKING BIG ESTUPIDO. WHO WANTS TO COME HERE TAKE A BATH AND CHANGE YOUR CLOTHES FIRST PINCHE GUEY...

You know, you could easily fix this by modifying the first sentence with " "Last week, I, Adela Garza, .." or finishing the last sentence, " ..., I , Adela Garza, humbly ...", who wrote this? Not everyone is familiar with Adela Garza.

No vale Adela!!!!! She specifically wanted Sylvia Atkinson at TSC and had President Rodriguez make her a position with federal funds. They didn’t even post the position correctly. There’s witnesses who heard her demand a position be made for Atkinson. Thanks to Adela: Tercero, Rodriguez, Atkinson and worst have been hired at TSC and are running TSC to the ground. 9000? How many of those are dual enrollment? Brownsville go vote this parasite out! She keeps costing the tax payers lawsuits. And SACSCOC accredited? What a joke! Creative accounting like schools at every level in the crooked RGV!!!!! El Valle tiene pura rata!!!! Todos componen papeles para mirarse recto y derecho por fuera cuando están pudriéndose por dentro! How much did TSC pay the SACSCOC President to be a keynote speaker for a commencement? Open the books! It’s public record! Pura ratas!!!

Adela needs to go. She can save herself by resigning for allowing so many deals to be cut with Atkinson starting during the time she was in Los Fresnos. Adela allowed Atkinson to treat us employees like shit. Forward to present, Adela led the way for Atkinson and Tipton to run programs for TSC for BISD. This is a total conflict and Adela seems to turn the other way. Pitiful for South Texas to have this type of leader leading the college. My vote is not for Adela.
