(Ed's Note: Can you, dear reader, make heads or tails out of this? I can't. All we know is that after an hour of secret deliberations and argument, the court decided to keep the public in the dark.

Some speculate that the government went along because it doesn't want to tip its hand on pending indictments against potential co-defendants. Does this mean that more people in town should be worried that there is a bus and that they will be thrown under it?

A few hours after she posted in her page that she is "feeling hopeful" with Brownsville Mayor Trey Mendez and Cameron County Judge Eddie Trevino. Figure that one out.

Whatever the mumbo-jumbo means, who care! It seems that this one will be anothher one of those sure cases that will be thrown out because of the stupidity of a judge or a lawyer. Yet, when it comes to a minor traffic ticket, the defendent is pinned against the wall and castrated. That is why Sylvia walks around as if her shit smells like a rose. if she gets away with this one, I guess i may as well vote for Trump. Let us know what else you find out, Juan, for i am sure the Herald will be muted itself. As for a visiting judge or change of venue judge or whatever, they all play the same game. If the trial is held in October, will we be able to show up for court and possibly behave in a matter that they know we are truly upset with the "unjustice system?"

She’s feeling hopefully porque el Trey le ayudó tapar todo en conjunto con BISD y Texas Southmost College. Gente rata 🐀 Trying to seal things when they should be public because it’s a public institution. What lengths did Sylvia‘s voting machine go to and help Trey get elected? This serves as a reminder for all those who go to court for public institutions. If it’s sealed for her and those they are saying are her accomplices, then they should seal for everyone.

She will be at the next board meeting and a big applause will be heard all over brownsville and echoed over at the federal court house. So much for justice and that is federal justice so what do we citizens expect of state, county and local justice NADA NADA NADA NADA thank you justice systems y los mamones running it.

Erasmo and Carlos Elizondo are pulling their hair out. Oh wait Carlos has no hait. Maybe he will pull his wife’s hair out because she is pendeja enough to let him. Carlos wasn’t your lawyer Noe Garza? You don’t believe in Now Garza and his skills to help Sylvia defend herself? You are too stupid to see that aren’t you? Erasmo, Carlos, and Olivo have all been arrested and all have convictions so these three ratones running for school board will steal and pillage if these Jack asses win. None of them are educated.

The question was whether to rrvoke her bond and arrest her for breaking the guidelines, but I bet she will have the audacity to show up at the next board meeting and lead everyone by their noses. Why was she not arrested like any other common criminal who breaks bond restrictions. Please let the judge explain this to us? I bet she scared him enough about suing the ass out of him because of his stupidity. She has made a living in Vegas due to all the suing and grievances she has filed against every district she has fooled. As soon as she walked out of BISD she had over $200,000 in her pocket and Drue knows about this. To you Drew, I always thought you had more integrity and dignaty in you, but even I can be absolutely wrong.

Oh, so she now has the SET -LGBTQ club in Brownsville on the side. Figure out the SET acronym. What could the S stand for, the E and the T?

If she shows up for the next board meeting and they recite "and justice for all," I will stand up at that moment and spit on the floor and walk out with my middle finger extend. That is what we have boiled down to.

Your three readers have a right to know how Carlos Elizondo abused his power along with his wife Cindy Huerta Elizondo (Rivera Counselor) who neglected her responsibilities as a lead counselor. This story will not go away because when students are negatively affected by this lady, then justice must prevail. Carlos being on the board will show the world that uneducated individuals like Carlos Stifle the progression of student growth. Cindy would leave work for hours to go to luncheons with Carlos. Classified teachers would see her leave at 9:30am and maybe come back by 4:00pm. She needs to transfer out of Rivera so the school can improve. Norma Jean Canales needs to be held accountable. She let Cindy take advantage because she was too scared to hold a board member's wife accountable. Well I tell you this for sure, all eyes will be on Cindy this upcoming year! Enough is enough! Not only is she incompetent, its a slap in the face to see her leave without a care in the world. She is dumb witted and clueless to how privileged she acts in public.

Lock up Rosie O’Donell and throw away the key. This woman deserves every ounce of misery. Wonder is Sherry will stick around?

10:46 it's not just board members spouses at BISD. Administrator spouses are worse for BISD. Just like the ex-board member's wife, we have the Administrator wife who "works" out of his office all the time and has access to everyones emails and info. BISD knows this person is the one of the laziest and unethical employees. This catering to board members spouses and Administrator spouses has got to stop. Employees know this is the norm and they are tired of seeing it. That Administrator wife needs to be moved out and put to work so she won't have the time to be in the husband's Department. Just drive down Price and that wife truck is in that office next to NY Deli or Main Office 3rd floor. Again, it's not just board members wife's, it's a big BISD problem that is out of control.

Erasmo is trying to get control of bisd. He has placed the following to run for trustee. Marisela Leal (which I believe is a big conflict of interest since her husband is part of AOBE) Jessica G. Gonzalez, Frankie Olivo, and Carlos Elizondo. People wake up!! Ask yourself why does he want full control? He has flat out said he is running for every seat that is up. Brownsville if these people are voted in then you are the reason Brownsville and BISD don’t progress.these candidates are all self serving individuals. From all these you have 3 criminals and 2 females who will be guided by Erasmo begins the scene.

Sylvia is evil

The area you are talking about has an enormous immense and sizeable area I guess she could be a float now what name to use (for the float)? La Super Tamal-era and its gluten free.

Sylvia, her family and all her cronies are worse than evil. They are the devil.

She is so disgraceful that she would have the audacity to accept the title of Parade Marshall. Esa vieja no tiene vuerguenza! She laughs at and in front of the judge and walks out pretending her farts smell like roses. All I see in her is a stem full of poisonous thorns.

I would rather vote for Erasmo and company than for what is in place now. Ever since they replace the superintendent, things have gone sour for them. It shows them that political decisions will only hurt them and at the end hurt the kids, teachers and community. Remember in November...out with Philip, Mini, Eddie and Sylvia. I am sorry for them it has come to this.

I am so glad that there are other people within the community that realize that the biggest error from this board is having dismissed our previous superintendent. Even Sylvia Hatton was doing a better job than this idiot.
As far as experience and expertise and thinking out of the box, this district has never had a superintendent as superior as Dr. Zendejas. That was the problem as we can all see. She did not like for some else to be smarter than she was and did not have to go around tooting her own horn. So did Minerva and so they got their cronies together, including Drew, to come and get rid of someone who would have a solution for our problems right now.

Disney will have to wait for the FBI to conclude their actions against the lady who can fix a contract for Disney as she did for the BISD movie and I bet it will cost them more than $10,000. Don't hold your breathe, Disney!
