WILL BISD BOARD OFFICERS ELECTION THIS THURSDAY BE DECIDED BY AN UNHOLY ELIZONDO-PENA ALLIANCE? DARK HORSE GONZALEZ MAY EMERGE AS BOARD PRESIDENT

November 17, 2022 at 5:30 PM - Special Called Board Meeting

VIII.A. Discussion, consideration and possible action for Re-Organization of Board of Trustee Officers including President, Vice-President, Secretary and Assistant Secretary.

Special to El Rrun-Rrun

With his re-election to the board of the Brownsville Independent School District, Carlos Elizondo – facing two felony theft counts in district court – could potentially be elected president of that body if he can persuade three members to give him their votes on Thursday.

Currently the score card, according to some BISD observers, stands at three to three, with current president Eddie Garcia enjoying the support of Daniella Lopez-Valdez, Denise Garza and himself. 

They say that Elizondo could probably count on his fellow board member Frank Ortiz – with whom he ran on a ticket along with Victor Caballero, who came up short against Garza in the November 8 election – and perhaps Minerva Peña, a sitting board member.

The swing vote – for both possible candidates to win – might hinge on board member Jessica G. Gonzalez. Or will she demand that they give her their vote to make her board president and have them bide their turn?

Don't laugh. As of press time, all indications are that Gonzalez has reached a modus vivendi with Elizondo, Peña, and Ortiz to maker her president, if in name only. And some district staffers say she has already started hinting of replacing the current board counsel, raising red flags of the possible reemergence of former board counsel Baltazar Salazar.

But it is the potential of Peña's vote if Elizondo places his name for president that troubles most BISD board followers.

The former Porter High School Belles member is not reluctant to tell anyone and everyone within earshot that she is also a former Texas Department of Safety trooper (at a desk job) and of course, a bible-thumping, born-again Christian.

However, in one of the theft cases awaiting setting in a district court, Peña is said to have been the beneficiary of a contribution from Elizondo totaling several thousands of dollars that were withdrawn from the account of the Brownsville Firefighters Association Political Action Committee, also known as the Brownsville Firefighters for Responsible Government Political Action Committee.

The Texas Ethics Commission had removed Elizondo as the secretary/treasurer of the union and fined him after he had failed to file the reports required by the TEC and was not authorized to manage the fund.

The money, according to firefighters who were present when it was withdrawn, was then given to Minerva Peña at Elizondo's urging to pay for a recount of a J.P. election race.  The "contribution" was never reported in her campaign finance reports. If the charges against Elizondo are proven true in court, then Peña willingly became the beneficiary of the proceeds of an allegedly illegal act. 

In most likelihood, it will be Gonzalez – who has made her deal with the three new devils – replacing Garcia as president of the board and allowing the new majority to take the district back to the Bad Old Days, with former BISD board counsel Salazar waiting in the wings to return to his $325,000 gig.

"She's already asking about replacing our board counsel," said a district staffer from the main office. 

Are you watching your examples on the BISD board, kids?

They are at the correct organisation to rob, steal and commit crimes. An educational, agency, full of Ph.D.s, doctorates, masters degrees, all sorts of bachelors degrees, some associate degrees and academic advisors and professional mentors of course.

It would have been run correctly if it was full of janitors and mechanics.

What an example for the children of browntown, and I hear idea is catching up they are now hiring people with degrees.....

So after all the corrupt money you have taken including Trevino's Tenaska money, and all of the corrupt money you have taken to attack Minnie, you think anyone sees you as anything more than a comic strip. I first heard of this post at Big Daddy's while eating breakfast. The people talking about it were laughing about how little you care about your reputation.

What's new? Political agendas are set before they are elected and then, it is 'you scratch my back and I will scratch yours." How in the world are these people allowed to run for office when they should be joining their ex-colleague in the prison yard? How is someone hired anywhere, when they have been indicted and just awaiting trial? How was Elizondo able to get his current job? I guess background checks are a thing of the past.

Electors must do some research before voting, since we seem to have questionable candidates that run and win.

We also need to watch them and hold them accountable.

Two issues well three - I am doing better but on December 6th I am filing for Medicare. I am using the address of the out of state address because I did not know for the different programs the states control the pricing. Texas is a lot higher than this other state for the full coverage I have chosen. REAL ESTATE - by law in Texas the price your house sells for cannot be recorded. So for the most part appraisers and relators do their best based on what they have sold to appraise your home. I have had SpaceX engineers offer me $350,000 cash for my house. My home is insured for the cost of rebuilding. Under the current market $350,000 is about right. A house I have been waiting to go on the market which is larger than mine, just sold for about $200,000 under what I know to be the market in my neighborhood, Why? I do not know. But I do know just days after I saw the 4sale sign go up it was already under contract. Your homeowners insurance rep can tell you how much it will cost to rebuild your home. you should sell it for not a penny less. I also have a 30,000 inground pool on an oversized lot. On the move it is getting complex. When I am there I am in a trailer. But now some family want to get together and pay cash for a new construction home. I think if I wait a few months I can get $400,000 for my home. That will leave me with my 3rd of the cash payment for the new construction. The deal is good. I live there mostly by myself, pay the taxes and homeowners insurance. A brother may move in for long stays But the deal is after my brother and I die, my niece gets the house outright. Finally, MEDICAL SPECIALISTS - You should rarely use them. All of mine are subspecialist - for example my brain surgeon only does a handful of procedures, but he has partners who do the others. The same goes for my spinal surgeon. Even my pulmonologist is a subspecialist in sleep apnea and pulmonary hypertension. His partners handle other issues. But because he is a subspecialist he knows sleep apnea patients should take 20 mg of Viagra at bedtime It was invented to open the lungs and not the other issue. He brought me from at least events per hour, meaning I would stop breathing even with the mask on, to one or fewer. your heart and brain can be damaged every time you stop breathing. This is the purpose of the CPAP to get you breathing again.

Anybody but Little Eddie. to get anything moving and have Gutierrez back working for his 500k job, plus his two diva deputies, change in the board officers is now. pena is really wanting to be board president. jessica owes her seat to atkinson. she gets all the advice from the atkinson clan, sandra and mary is trouble. the super is running scared because of all the mess with his deputy cantu and covering up for cantus boys who are running a construction business. remember the toxic company from her boy lopez in maintenance? well now another its a constractor businesss from bisd offices at the grants portables right under the security watch. a potential customer came looking for business at those portables but the boys were out to lunch. tax monies in use.

Why are all the rats crying about Elizondo getting to be president of the BISD board. Do you think the former board members are trying to hide under their skirts. The current board members are also hiding something that is scaring them. Even the teachers are hiding in their classroom closet. Time to clean the big house of fools. Go Elizondo, get the job done.

If corrupt politicians can run the country why not the school district?

In regards 7:50 A.M. comment, Elizondo is very much indicted, but the delay to not sentence or convict him of any crime is indeed a premeditated, intentional, planning, knowing and willingly corrupt plan set-up by the Texas judicial system and corrupt law enforcement. Our very own political leader Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is leading Texas under an indictment himself. He has set a precedent already in Hidalgo County in the Richardo Molina case involving election fraud. Calling the kettle black case, what do you expect from the Valley. So next time one of our family members gets charged or indicted do not fear for it means nothing. We can now cite the Molina case in South Texas. Calling the Kettle black meaning Ken Paxton as Attorney General under indictment himself was the entity investigating the Molina case, Life is a bitch when it comes back and bites the judges in the ass.

Wow wow doctor Cantu in charge of operations the Brothers Construction on the side no wonder our school district doesn't move forward wake up Daniela Eddie

Anonymous said...

Daniela never stepped foot in a public school only now. The eddie garcia thinks he is a mall cop turned president. elizondo was the only one to call out atkinson and share with the community all of the corruption because he was present in the fbi trial. Now elizondo needs to cut the shennanigans going on. Who is watching them if the current board is the same? no wonder bisd is paying for so many consultants because their own people have other business to take care off. Also Dr cantu had so many grievances from other districts and was let go. now we know why, wowwowowowowwwww

What the heck Juan!!!! Who is feeding you this bill??? Peña won her recount therefore no money for as paid for the recount. Just ask the Remy guy at the elections office. Mrs. Peña if you read this you need to sue this Juan guy for defamation of character. Juan you need to answer for your lies.
Enough with getting beer money to try and ruin people with your blatant lies. Poor Brownsville. We in other cities feel so sorry that you all, who live in Brownsville, have to put up with this poor alcoholic addicted man; who is ruining his life because of his alcoholism. Sorry that Instead of being a great journalist, somewhere putting out good stuff, he chooses to print a bunch of made up stuff. Not good at all.

The sentence must be enough to mark the stopage of corrupt development and a legal saga that has to stop public officals corruption and an emblem of browntown malfeasance.

In regard to Jan. 16th. @ 9:59 comment Montoya must have hit a sensitive nerve with this individual for his negative reaction. Threatening Montoya with a lawsuit and defamation by calling Montoya names is very belittling of this individual. Keep up the GREAT WORK in Journalism with regards to informing the Citizens of Cameron County Mr. Montoya. Lots of love and luck.
