THE "BEST OF AMERICA" RECOGNITION A CITY CAN BUY....

Special to El Rrun-Rrun

It's funny to see that the city of Brownsville paid $30,000 by Communications and Marketing/BCVB under Felipe Romero and now Monica Tellam, who is now the interim director, without no experience in communications or marketing. 

And now Helen Ramirez who sees Monica as a "personal Project" is showing it off to the world on social media. With $30,0000 of course we can name the City of Brownsville Best of America, the All-American city, etc... The tragic thing is that they can actually get themselves to believe it, for a slight fee, of course. 
Also note, the city hasn't named a director for communications because no one has applied for the position as Helen wants to keep Monica. How much did the city pay to be named the Best of America?
Also the whole Communications director position is interesting as Monica wants the position but has no experience and often goes to Helen and to Perla Cepeda for hand holding and suggestions just like Felipe did. Well, of course she does, she learned from him. 

She's just another Felipe.

City employees look out their windows and see a shining city on the hill. People in Las Prietas and La Southmost do it and see poverty in full display.

Brownsville is the ugliest, poorest and least-ambitious city in the Bally!

Well, like El Paya Jerry McHale full-well knows, if the world won't praise you, well, praise yourself!!!

Brownsville must have something worth honoring.

What that may be no one knows.

Juan, a bunch of nepotism. I have seen no marketing north of Olmito welcoming people to visit Brownsville? Who is the new interim director? What experience does she have? Is she qualified? Do an open records request to see what qualifications are needed for this position? I wonder how many people are directors and assistant directors but have no prior experience? Doesn’t the city manager have to approve all hires? Ask the tough questions!!!!

I know of numerous people with lots of experience and have applied for the job but have been looked over.

Does the city want a "Yes sir or Yes Mam" person in this position rather than a person who can think for themselves?

I dealt with this Monica person and she has know idea what she is doing. She has no background in Communications.

The CoB is often criticized for hiring people from outside. Monica has been humble and stayed out of the spotlight. She's educated, professional and dedicated. Since 2019, the city has lost many talented individuals to other organizations, for once forget your bias against women in positions of leadership.

The real hot gos here is why did the entire staff feel compelled to leave the Comm department for dead? And how did Romero get away with securing a cushy state job after screwing the pooch here.
If Monica is up for the job, give her a fair shot. Stop overlooking dedicated staff for out of town gambles who will leave anyway. Re: her lack of experience, any Comms person worth their salt wouldn’t take the job with the reputation the city currently has.

WOW, Official Best of America !! At the same time, watching our city and county being neglected by our elected officials is the cruelest and saddest thing to see. They ignore to look into the Tenaska thievery amongst other things. But yet you want raises (county) jump to the front of the line for grants ( with your friends) and some of you don't pay property taxes. What makes you spend so much money to run for a position that some of you don't get paid for? Are you in it to get insider information to invest and get richer? Are you happy to see your reflection in the mirror? Are you proud? Top of the totem pole City employees ,what have you done to better Brownsville? Oh ! I forgot most of you are not from Brownsville. You want what our taxes pay you. Remember all of you !!" You Work for Us, but neglect us ! but most of you wanted a multi-million arena.

It is sad that cities need to pay for a title but why shouldn't Brownsville be a "Best Year Round Destination" or a "Best All American Town." We have great year round weather. We are on the boarder by the sea. We have a history as deep as the Grand Canyon. The first battle of the US Mexican War happened here. Mexico gave up 55% of its land you know, Palo Alto Battlefield. Some of the flora and fauna found here is unique to the US. Most importantly respectful, wonderful, friendly, and hard working people live here. For the sour pusses every town has its low life's.

I think that if the norm is for cities to pay for such titles it is money well spent. Come on, the Most Handsome Man Alive needs to pay for the title. If Brownsville doesn't pay for the title others will. Men think of it as masterbation. If Brownsville yanks it people will come.

Downtown Brownsville, rundown all thrift stores.

Is being the best, having potholes streets, bad drainage, terrible, terrible water, corrupt city and county leaders, high electric rates, private parking for pizza eaters who like bad cheese and cheap wine, no lights downtown.

I wish all these elected city leaders and high salaried city employees would get off their high horses and do what is right for the city and not spend thousands for a recognition. Now you still want to keep bringing in your buddies to leech off our city?

City of Brownsville rolling in the $$$$ yet they are cutting the City of Brownsville employees pay and benefits cutting insurance and other benefits. Yet El Rata Bernal increases his pay to almost $300,000 while hiring employees from his his hometown while finding ways to get rid of employees that have been with Brownsville for many year's. Then giving these new employees inflated salaries and even making up positions just to waste citizens of Brownsville money...

Juan, when you apply for the Open Records request, get a list of city employees who are recei5a car allowance, on it, you will find Assistant city manager James Walker receiving a hefty $550 monthly car allowance but this person uses a city truck every single day to conduct "city business" therefore, bluntly and clearly committing fraud and no one(including his boss Bernal) has the guts to hold him accountable. Taxpayers are being taking advantage by these bozos. They should be in jail for committing fraud.

You're absolutely right! There is no sign, or anything in the north side of town welcoming visitors into our town, and letting them know what Brownsville is about. You can pretty much drive into any little town in Texas and they will have there welcome signs.

We are the most historical city south of San Antonio, and our leaders don't know how to promote that.

Maybe we can also be on the Guinness World Records as the city with the most taco stands. Nothing to be proud of, but if it puts us on the map why not?

In regards to City of Brownsville employment is who you know not what kind of skills/credentials/degrees you have. An example is the current HR director who was hired at $107,000 annually plus a $500 monthly car allowance but what makes it strange is that this person has a Mexican college degree and zero HR experience. In contrast, the previous HR director was making $86,000 annually and had an MBA from a US university. That's what"Total Alignment" is all about, total bullshit that is.

Imagine what $40,000 could had bought? The Jewel of the Rio Grande River, Brownsville? Where the rats of valley meet and take home plenty of taxpayers monies.

Many talented and qualified people apply for city jobs and get overlooked because of nepotism. It is really disheartening that Brownsville still does not grow past the buddy system.

Read between the lines, families and friends of all elected officials could not pass the arena. WHAT DOES THAT TELL ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS? THE TIME IS HERE AND THE VOTERS WILL VOTE ALL OF YOU RATAS OUT, NEXT ELECTION! ITS COMING BELIEVE IT!!

Now we want to know how much was spend on advertising for the arena and what funds were used to pay? The DA needs to start an investigation on this. The FBI and the state MUSt START THE INVESTIGATION, NOW.

This is an abuse by the top administration to use city funds to enhance out of town top level administrators, with fake awards. This needs to stop, they pay fake companies for fake awards and who gets screwed? THE VOTER THE CITIZENS THE COMMUNITY. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. ALL THE CITY COMMISSIONERS NEED TO BE VOTED OUT. WE NEED AN ARENA LIKE WE NEED THESE FAKERS AND THE CITY AND COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. The arena is a good example of how we the voter can improve this city, simply vote all current in office city and county commissioners out DO NOT RE-ELECT. simple
