Special to El Rrun-Rrun
What is happening at the City of Brownsville's Communications and Marketing Department?
With department employees leaving in droves – there were three resignations in one day this January and another five a the end of 2021 – it is obvious that employees there are not happy campers under self-described communications and marketing guru and Director Felipe "Flip" Romero III.
Romero, if you'll remember, was one of those Hidalgo County and Laredo wonder kids who – at a $100,000 salary –was brought in by City Manager Noel Bernal to teach the local rubes how to enhance the city's message to its residents, but hasn't gotten beyond the usual buzzwords like "total alignment," etc.,
And, of course, the goals of the department are "to be an internal Communications and Marketing agency that positions the City of Brownsville as a thriving, healthy, safe and innovative community." You get the drift.
The Department has four divisions: the Brownsville Convention & Visitors Bureau, Brownsville Television, Communications, and Creative Services.
Yet, about the only time he has relayed any type of message was when he was overheard belittling a Brownsville Herald reporter with Mayor Trey Mendez during a press conference.
The woman has since left the newspaper because of the lack of support from the daily's management.
Even if Bernal does move to replace Romero, it might be a little late since there is virtually no one left at the seven-person staff. In fact, it might be a little late to get rid of him since there is basically no department left, don’t ya think Bernal?
Some of the latest peccadillos include the design of custom boots for Charro Days with the Mercedes Boot Company to be paid by the city and includes a pair his size to keep. $400 boots! Must be nice.
There are many self-serving moves reported coming out of that "department" like Romero using the city's Sams membership for personal use, and the possible collusion with a vendor for big signage projects, allegedly his business partner. Conflict of interest?
Fact is, some local media personnel say Romero has even tried to sell his services on the job to local media. There are even reports of an investigation into an alleged "improper" relationship between Romero and one of his subordinates.
Are Romero's days counted as the city tries to straighten out this implosion? We'll keep you posted.

CNN)Last week the British government added a clause to its Health and Care Bill that would make hymenoplasty -- or "virginity repair" surgery -- illegal in England and Wales. In November 2021, "virginity testing" also became a criminal offence.
According to an article on BMJ Global Health, "'virginity' testing involves visual inspection of the hymenal membrane by a medical professional. In some cases, the examination includes a 'two-finger' test to assess the size of the vaginal opening."
However, studies have shown no test or exam can reliably and accurately determine whether a woman has had sex and the idea of such a test is largely sexist. In fact, the practice, doctors believe, is based on a misunderstanding of the female body and outdated notions of "purity."
Is happening on Enterprises Applications Department too, this department used to be MIS
Montoya, a NADIE le importa este post. No mames.
Este enano has got to go. Are there nobody here qualified to do this type of clerical work? Este idiota has got to go. Vote for somebody that has the community in mind to help its citizens in any way possible specially JOBS...
PINCHE IDIOTA PENDEJO....
VOTE HIM OUT DO NOT RE-ELECT IDIOTAS AND PAY CITY TAXES RATAS!
El enano hires personnel that have similar or runs parallel to his methods, the two relating to one another more analogously than convergently, that, reflect his way of operations in a business sense.
Now having similar traits and being entirely unrelated but undergoing tweaks to become the modern phantom thieves, a modern forensic method aimed at this new thievery must be applied by a modern police department (CIS).
Such units are made available in modern cities like Olmito and Los Fresnos. With that in mind the solution is beyond the reach of justice in this community. The next best method possible is to revert to the old ways. There is only one old way!
The voting methods VOTE ALL CORRUPT POLITICIAN OUT
Dont shame Hidalgo County like that - he's not from there.
It's even worse. He's from Laredo, the step child wannabe of the RGV, also coincidentally where lots of BCVB Billboards ended up, interesting...
Brownsville Police Chief Felix El Culero Sauceda-Bernal keeps the his Inept leadership rolling into 2022!!!🤣😂
During what has to be the one of the worst promotional ceremony in the history of Brownsville Police DEPARTMENT. Chief Felix El Culero Sauceda-Bernal made the ceremony about himself where he spoke about how great of a job he is doing and how previous administration's from Victor Rodriguez, Ben Reyna, Carlos Garcia and Orlando Rodriguez where complete failures and all previous administration's were a financial disaster!!!LMFAO!!!!!
He continued with that he has been the greatest Chief in Texas history with all his innovations and budget cutting techniques..🤔🤔🤣😂🤣
The only thing Brownsville Police Chief Felix El Culero Sauceda-Bernal will be known for his how he bent over and took it up the a** from his now Husband El Rata Bernal. FELIX EL Culero Sauceda-Bernal will be for ever known as the only Chief in Brownsville Police Department History to suck himself off..
#worstchiefever...
Why is clown earning $100,000 a year plus fringe benefits? Total Alignment? Total bullshit. Employees are leaving in droves all over the place, this is a direct reflection of the type of leadership or lack thereof.
Who the fuck is Romero?
The Cosmo Kramer of City Hall?
Vato chancleado.
Dig more into felipe's weird transactions. There A LOT more to uncover with the new Communications Building and other weird stuff he was doing there.
BERNAL is to blame. He allows his useless department head to abuse the employees sexually and verbally. Girls get together and sue.
He should have been fired long ago along with the city manager. Browntown is a joke. The laughingstock of the Valley and the cesspool of the great state of Texas.
Maybe staff are leaving because they are underpaid. Only department management make good money, not the "little people".
Ask for public records to see more of what he's done!
Brownsville does marketing? Why? I see the majority of initiatives by BCIC. I have yet to see a ‘ Come to Brownsville” north of Harlingen.
Fire all those employees. Get new staff.
What are his qualifications or the job requirements?
How much does it pay
Asking for a friend
Donate the whore house to the homeless organization do something right for a change. They need more space DO IT!
Sheneman, Gonzalez, Luna, Guillen named new Workforce board officers
What do they know about poverty or homeless put somebody that lives in a colonia or low house area, pinches pendejos...
Rudy Giuliani hits rock bottom (again) with 'The Masked Singer' cameo
Is da mayor el enano juan mendez next? So I hear he is. Pinche maricon enano....
future of free and fair elections in the US
The current mayor won by a flip of a coin beteen two idiotas that nobody wanted - stolen victory by a coin.
Was his "improper" relationship with a subordinate with a female or a male? Please specify.

"Montoya, a NADIE le importa este post. No mames."
It isn't important to you because you not only tolerate corruption, you demand it (in the words of Dr. Z). Of course you don't think it's important, because you are either Romero, or one of Bernal's ass-kissers.
This house of cards is crumbling. Bernal has infected the city administration, just like COVID infected the citizens of this community. At every turn, the mayor, Bernal and his underlings are exploiting this city's resources for their own benefit. Ramiro Gonzalez is the prime example of the mayor's corruption and Romero is the prime example of Bernal's corruption. The poster boys, if you will, of a failed city commission.
Anonymous @ February 3, 2022 at 9:49 AM is right. Vote these corrupt and/or lazy commissioners out! Especially, the mayor.
As long as Bernal throws city resources at the commissioners' pet projects, they will let him reign free and drive this ciy into corruption, again. It's actually seems worse than when Charlie Cabler was there. Bernal has consistently screwed the city employees, hoarding the savings to lavish upon commissioners and his underlings. He is now preying on the Non-Profits and their shares of the Convention and Visitors Bureau, HOT tax money, which was hijacked to provide more money for him to blow.
Bernal has also hijacked COVID money to use on projects that were already approved, like the traffic light synchronozation, broadband initiatives, etc..
No one will stand up to him as long as our failed mayor and commissioners can reap their personal benefits.
The last resort is the voters. Hopefully, by election time people will wake up and the looting will stop.
Pinche Juan ..... you can tell your nothing more than a simple blogger.
Its never too late to replace anybody, no matter how small a department becomes. too late is the stupidest thing I ever heard.
$100K salary REALLY , oh we will just get more money from PUB and brownsville citizens, its ok business as usual.
If you can believe it, things are more corrupt than the Martinez-Cabler administration.
Pura pinche rata de dos patas en Brownsville politics
It's pathetic that nobody on the city Commission would do anything to make the city manager and his entire staff to quit parking their personal cars on metered parking spots daily. They are taking revenue away from city's coffers by parking on metered parking spots. They're too lazy to walk two blocks away at city plaza where they do require everyone working at city hall to park their personal cars. Great example of "Total Alignment" where leaders surely don't lead by example.

Simple or not its better late than NEVER.
no seas idiota MORON
The traffic equipment and apps are still in a warehouse, nobody in the city is capable of installing the equip and computer apps, maybe they can hire a 9 year old to install the apps and a qualified engineer (with a real education) install the equipment and spend another couple of million bucks. Its easy to spend, just think its going to a family member, a friend or a political supporter...
DO IT PINCHES GUEYES
between 20 and 30 cars stopped at every RED LIGHT
SOLUTION: VOTE ESE PENDEJO THE MAYOR "OUT" DO NOT RE-ELECT
NO BODY IN THE CITY
Custom boots for Charro Days:
Nobody looks at shoes used by men.
Brownsville is not north of Harlingen, LOL...
He needs to get Drug tested even Perla HR Director looks the other way. That’s how he gets OUT!!
el lambiscon will get a promo and a pay raise, el enano's favorite, they both wear brown shoes like los gringos BOLA DE MAMONES.
