WHAT IF THEY HELD A CITY ELECTION...AND NOBODY CAME?

(Ed.'s Note: Is it voter fatigue, satisfaction with the status quo, simple apathy, or just a sign that nobody gives a shit anymore? There are major issues facing the city, but judging by the turnout at the forum held at Veterans Park by the Central Library Thursday, public interest in the city commission election is on the wane. Shame.)

Roy De los Santos had a great showing just up the road at Cobbleheads’.... maybe that’s why it was so low.... they were all at Roy’s function.

How is Erasmo going to lead us prosper??? Look at where he’s lead himself....lives with mommy n daddy, steals from church, no job, shitty car, etc. Guy has no leadership skills.

The biggest news now is la chisquis is planning on planting hemp on all bike trails if she is re-elected and Ben is going "Tomorrow I will personally go out and purchase a bike".

It's not no one gives a shit Montoya! It's why waste time in something that will be done no matter what the people want. For example, we have a vegetable puppet in office who is being told by the deep state to undo everything Trump did. No matter if People lose their jobs, gas prices goes up, and open borders. Since Biden started in office, we have seen back the mass shootings, riots on the streets, more gun restrictions, packing of more liberal judges, and out of control trillions spending. Soon people will be approaching the precipice, and an uprising will be the result!

Go Biden!

At last a real president. No more asshole tweets, open racism & bigotry from the White House, a lard-ass grifter pushing White Supremacy and a cabinet of yes-punks.

Biden won.

Deal with it.

Years back qualified candidates ran but were defeated by the clique.

Now no qualified candidates run anymore for anything in Brownsville.

JFK could run in Brownsville and Castro from Cuba would beat him.

Brownsville has become the laughingstock of the valley thanks to politiqueras who destroyed any possibility of anyone becoming elected without having to kiss their asses.

I read and hear opinions and comments voicing support for a candidate but what I seldom hear are what are the qualifications and capabilities of the candidate(s). On the other hand, what I do read and hear are finger-pointing and direct insults/slurs. Sadly but rightfully so, the direction some voters are facing is not so much to put a candidate into office but rather to keep them out of office.

As I see it, looking into a candidates past social and political history, experience, and patterns, as well as their lawful duty as a citizen, will clearly pave the path of their ambitions/motives. We can prepare for the future but we can never undo the past!!!

Brownsville has government of the few, by the few and for the few. The voters don't expect anything else, but maybe little planca every now and then. Why should they waste their time listening to a bunch of local politicos trying to blow smoke up their asses.

With 6 city managers making over 1 million dollars to supervise the public works director is hard work. Los seis together can't come up with a SINGLE idea on how to improve ANYTHNING and much less to improve something.

Has the million dollar department come up on how to fix the pothole problem, the traffic jams, the flooding, stop building bike trails, NO THEY HAVE NOT, they are too busy counting their millions and hiring consulting firms just to cover their asses.

FIRE ALL OF THEM NOW DO NOT RE-ELECT ANY CITY COMMISSIONER
STOP THE ILLEGAL SPENDING

All this dealings are just plain love affairs and with taxpayers money. He brings all his girl friends from up north and now they are giving consulting contracts to their new boy friends. All these abuses has got to stop.
New city commissioners need to be elected the ones there now are completed incompetent and need to be replaced.

“Every time I turn around, I’m paying a new tax for permits, a myriad of licenses, health permits, higher property taxes that are passed on and on and on. We paytaxes to the following: THERE ARE "52" taxing entities IN CAMERON COUNTY THINK ABOUT THAT AND TO TOP IF OFF THEY DON'T PAY PROPERTY TAXES LIKE YOU AND ME THINK ABOUT THAT!!!!

Instead of fixing problems like potholes, flooding traffic jams, red lights at every light, needless pet projects that the city does not need.

Bringing incompetent employees with their girl friends and can't do the job so they hire consultants. A ONE MILLION BUDGET FOR A DEPARTMENT OF 5 EMPLOYEES "INSAME". MILLIONS ON CONSULTING FEES. Hiring their friends on all boards without any experience.

THIS NEEDS TO STOP NOW DON'T RAISE TAXES FIRE YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND CONSULTANTS ALL OF YOU ELECTED OFFICIALS NEED TO BE REPLACED NOW...

LFMAO!!! Erasmo is an idiot! He likes to throw cheap shots and then gets butt hurt on rebuttal. In his own words, "nombre chet up". Hey fool you had your chance at BISD when the blind sheep elected you to the board. You may try to fix your collar on La Rata Atkinson, but you had nothing to do with her arrest. Facts show the feds were working on her way  before you came along. That is just the way the feds work, they don't rush in to make arrests. All you did on the board was grandstand. You can say you were at schools and events all day - but that is because you don't hold a job, you live with your parents and it was your opportunity to take photos with boys.  Some of us have not forgotten your arrests, the way you fled to Mexico to skirt the law and the way you created a new identity while teaching in Mexico. You always dance around those subjects and refuse to answer to your past. You flaunt your degree  but we all know it came from a degree mill. A real man of god doesn't preach the word one day and go against the word of god and his principles the remaining days of the week!  In the style of a preacher, you can raise your voice at a forum and get folks worked up, but what are your plans?  What is your platforn and how do you expect to reach your goals?  You and Bradshaw barked alot, but it takes alot to actually get the work done.

“We do want the public to be involved,” Lund said. “They know some things about their neighborhood that we may not know. We want to know what they think is important. Are they using the trails for fun? Are some of them riding their bike on a trail to work? Are there some sidewalk connections that would get them to the trails?”

MORE BIKE TRAILS SHE WANTS MORE BIKE TRAILS THIS IS INSANE VOTE HER OUT NOW SHE HAS GOT TO GO VOTE HER OUT
