AFTER ELECTION, ATTORNEY MARK SOSSI OUT AT SAN BENE?

Special to El Rrun-Rrun
 
He has risen like a phoenix from the ashes countless times a city attorney for the City of Brownsville, Mission, and now San Benito.

Sources in the Resaca City say that contract lawyer Mark Sossi has handed in his resignation as contract attorney for the City of San Benito and will hand over the position to the new city commission majority during today's meeting.

City attorneys, like school district superintendents, live and die by the political support they get from a majority on the city commission or district board. If they have become a bone of contention or if the eventual winning majority perceives them to be allied with the other as political faction, they can see the writng on the wall.

We don't know who will replace Sossi – who is law partner with Antony P. Troiani, a former City of Brownsville commissioner – but we're sure the crafty counsel will manage to land on his feet as he always has. The graduate of a military school, he has shown his mettle at survival before. 

As we said earlier, hiring and firing of lawyers an superintendents when a new majority comes on board in their respective boards is part and parcel of the profession. Greener fields wait somewhere, we're sure.

POBRESITO Memito Delarosa. He is out of friends at city hall. Hopefully the door hits him in the caboose very soon.

San Benito took 10 steps back by electing this new commission. The city is now in the hands of a bunch of imbeciles. Accepting Sossi’s resignation is just the first of many mistakes to come.

is he up to date with his child support? She says no. Must be nice to have friends at the Child Support Division of the Attorney General after having worked there.

El Sossi is history and the city manager in no more than 60 days will be gone also. The citizens will have to pay a hefty chunk of money but he got to that pay scale cause he kept getting raises by the now disbanded 3 Amigos. So let’s look forward San Benito.

Sossi looks like the well went dry in San Benito, well on to the next city. Maybe Mercedes again and maybe soon, I heard changes coming once again, city attorney and city manager maybe out soon.
