MITTE CULTURAL DISTRICT FOUNDATION ATTORNEY TO ANSWER CHARGES OF TARGETING OF WOMAN BY MAYOR, COMMISSIONER

Work Session presentation from the Mitte Foundation (Mitte Foundation/City Manager's Office)

Special to El Rrun-Rrun

Since this past February, local resident and businesswoman Ashley Beane Alshaer has addressed the City of Brownsville Commission through the public comment period and through emails where she charges that she has been targeted by the Mitte Foundation, the Brownsville Children's Museum, Mayor Trey Mendez and commissioner Roy De Los Santos.

Tonight, during a work session during the regular commission meeting, an attorney for the Mitte Foundation will address some of the misconceptions of the relationship between the foundation and the city, and to address her allegations, which De los Santos has called "slander and libel."

De Los Santos said Alshaer has also filed ethics complaints against him and Mendez with the City Ethics Commission, one of which has already been dismissed. 

Alshaer first addressed the commission February 28 and then again August 16 with her charges and sent a detailed email to the city where she outlined her complaints. The contents of that email were not made available to the public and she declined to state her allegations during the August 16 meeting.

But she asked that the city stop funding Mitte and a slew of other nonprofits through the Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT), putting their funding in danger. 

The work session begins at 5 p.m. at City Hall, 1001 E Elizabeth St.

THIS IS JUST ANOTHER REASON, THE CITY MAYOR GIVES MONEY ONLY TO HIS FRIENDS. THESE NON PROFIT CAN GO HUSTLE UP SOME MONEY FROM DADDY. BECAUSE, THEY CANNOT HANDLE ANY KIND OF WORK.

YOU GOT TO GET RID OF THE MONEY FROM CITY GOVT TO YOUR POCKET.

About Trump and his people -

White supremacy, beliefs and ideas purporting natural superiority of the lighter-skinned, or “white,” human races over other racial groups, that's their song. In contemporary usage, the term White supremacist has been used to describe some groups espousing ultranationalist, racist, or fascist doctrines. White supremacist groups often have relied on violence to achieve their goals.


The showdown is coming.

Most other countries have bailed out on White supremacy - Rhodesia, South Africa......

Why are Fags so much for abortion? Is it because they don't want any competition?

Get rid of "Historical designation" bullshit on personal homes and businesses. Current and former commissioners and Mayors should be ashamed of not paying a penny on their properties while most of their constituents are having a hard time paying their property taxes. Fellow citizens, please don't elect or reelect anyone with this bullshit designation. Enough is enough.

The mayor has to put order. Stop harrassing this lady. She is a businesswoman: support her and help her.

We need women in business.

Some men in power can not accept this type of woman.

If you know this lady, support her ....do not be afraid of the Mayor and his friends and the politicians.

Finally someone brave stood against all the
Corrupted city commission in Brownsville, and their "hidden player" Mitte foundation
Who never brought nothing but pedophiles and
Nad reputation to our community!
I wanna ask Mitte owners, did you ever helped
Any students from Brownsville?

Up north to Houston!
I strongly support this brave woman against
Pedophiles and big corrupted companies like
