Typical San Benito.
We hire an eminently qualified Interim City Manager (Gavino Sotelo) only to micro manage him into resigning...as if the mayor and city commissioners know more than this man about how to run a town.
followed a lengthy executive session by the city commission during the meeting. The only "nay" vote was cast by commissioner Carol Lynn Sanchez who posted her opinion said on social media.
“The city manager was let go with an entire contract payout and that a prospective candidate is waiting to come in...Man, if citizens don’t see how backwards we’re going here, I don’t know what will wake you up,” she included in her post.
On June 6, city commissioners voted 4-1 to buy out De La Rosa’s contract, agreeing to pay nine months’ severance pay based on his $175,000 annual salary plus a benefits package.)
(The San Benito News reported June 12 that commissioners picked City Secretary Ruth McGinnis to serve as interim city manager until they appoint a new city manager with the city’s department heads are helping McGiniss, who’s been serving as city secretary for more than five years, run daily operations)
But all that appears to be par for the course. Other qualified, competent people have been rejected by the less than 5 percent of the voters who effectively keep local politician in power.
I've admired Mr. Gavino Sotelo for years, hoping to get him elected on the commission or school board, but it appears the citizens of San Benito don't want a highly qualified person to run the town or school... just someone who does as he is told.
Well, Mr. Sotelo doesn't work that way. I respect his intelligence, his judgment and his decision to resign. I feel sorry for our ignorant town and its leaders. Since the same people who run the city are now also running the school district, I expect the same treatment for the superintendent.
Yes, Typical San Benito.
We shoot ourselves in the foot every time.

San Bene has been know as the town that time forgot. It has been going on for years n years. That is why that city is boxed in by the surrounding cities and has no place to grow. So all the past city commissioners can be blamed for that. IMO.
Didn’t Mr. Sotelo run for San Benito Commission a few years back against Mr Rene Villafranco and lost. Why the citizens voted for Mr Villafranco instead of the Highly qualified Mr Sotelo is beyond me. So yes San Bene is an exception.
Tomas Montemayor blows a mean pipe, but analysis is not his strength.
vato chuco.
Isn’t San Benito run by a bunch of vegetables: LA PAPA, LA ZANAHORIA 🥕 ETC.
So when are they getting rid of the superintendent?
Because she should have never been hired.
Yes the city even had a Menudo running the commission.
sanbene? por favor, the most unknown city in the usa and full of cocos.
Muskies can sent the whole town of sanbene to the moon or mars. Just name where, Los enanos from browntown of coursae, can fix that real quick.
so who's gonna play, that guy painted on the water tank? Pinche sanbene they name water thanks with meskin names and streets with gringo names babosos...
EL SAN BENITO WILL NEVER PROSPER CAUSE WAY BACK WHEN IT WAS CURSED BY THE WITCHES THAT WERE BURNED THERE. WAS TOLD THIS BY A LITTLE OLD LADY YEARS AGO.
ya san bene. In less that 3 yrs y’all can vote BEN GOMEZ, RENE GARCIA AND RENE VILLAFRANCO back in. But for now give the new majority a chance and see if the kick the can down the road like the prior commission.
