We will find a way as she can stand up and I will kneel down to conform to the Law, said the Scumbag Rene Oliveira and he will Muff dive with whiskey as his sanitizer.
Send the police to BISD to arrest those who violate or have violated this declaration. Check the bus stops that will now serve as feeding stations for the kids. check the campus where teachers are required to go to work. What is wrong with this guy? But, he surely does know how to pick up his check every month and back up to hand the checks to his top-paying assistants. ]
what does meter suspended? You can't park downtown?
Day-care center will not comply sent police officers to enforce the declaration. The owners think that no body can touch them ,they are a bunch of arrogant AH's
Seniors need protection these idiots want money so they won't stop
I am sick of Erasmo Castro and his stupid ignorant followers (many of whom are BISD teachers and admin). All he and they are doing is causing panic. This is a time when we must come together to make tough decisions. The superintendent is doing the best he can in light of all of the unfortunate circumstances. People need to be patient and trust those in charge to make the necessary decisions in the best interest of all.
I thought our federal government, through lockdowns and social distancing, would be the one to prep us for martial law.
Browntown once again trying to be on the cutting edge. Trump should take note, this is how it's done.
Trumputo is very familiar with local politicians they won't do anything with out any enhancements in return
