TREY: LET'S FORGET TENASKA, BRUCIAK, AND PRAISE GALONSKY!

(Ed.'s Note: We were somewhat unpleasantly surprised to be reminded of the past Trey Mendez-Nurith Galonky-dominated mayoral and commissioner regime by the praise heaped on the Brownsville Public Utilities Board and on Galonski by the former mayor.

And no, it wasn't Galonsky's initiative to build the new water tower, but rather a long-term Capital Improvement Plan paid for by PUB rate payers. Mendez forgot to say how he and Galonsky protected disgraced former PUB CEO John Bruciak after an audit showed he was one of the main movers behind the failed $500 million gas-fueled electric plant that never came to fruition and who knew the plant was dead in 2017, a full three years before he let the public know. They were just fine to give Bruciak a 60-day vacation with pay at taxpayer expense while he pondered a response to the documented charges. He didn't and retired with full benefits instead.

All that time, while Mendez was on the utility's board and Galonsky was on the city commission, PUB was generating millions from the artificially-high utility rates that he said were needed to pay for the project's bond issues. Mendez's paean to Galonsky rings hollow and perhaps sublimely is announcing a comeback by the former District 1 commissioner and heir to a vast holdings of real estate in the city owned by her family and relatives and who was beaten by political newcomer Bryan Martinez. Thanks, but no thanks, Trey, stick to trying to get more public money for your real-estate speculation and ruminate on your and Galonsky's "legacy" to the city in your memoirs.)

Let's thank the taxpayers for paying their property taxes in time, so "I" "I""I" can get more free money for my businesses and not to pay it back (grantmoney).

Yea, right we badly needed a elevated water storage tank, who's idea was that? An elected RATA public official, where are the bids?

What do you expect?? Business as usual. Birds of a feather stick together!! Thats the culture at COB . Grandstanding and wasteful use of tax payer money $$. ( not talking about tower, im referring to overall behavior exhibited by these people) They all run cover for each other, i guess its in the “bylaws” if you become part of this group of vultures. No shame!!!

Trey Mendez and Galonsky could have made a difference for the future of Brownsville, but they got distracted from the big picture.
Bad decisions, terrible actions and awful behavior took them from the top of the ladder to the bottom of the ditches.
It happens all the time, but the problem was that their heart was not that much into the City of Brownsville.


People have to love Brownsville to make a difference.

Who's getting the contracts at El Jardin hotel ? Are the contracts being given to the friends of our rat infested political clique? Inquiring minds need to know ! We need to start reconnecting the dots on these players !

Is Martinez and De Los Santos still a couple?

Well, it sure is "interesting" that he hijacked that BTX Account from the City (with 18k followers) and uses it to promote his law practice.

Hijole! Corrupt to the end, ... "and Beyond."

What did she do for Brownsville: NOTHING. Stupid voters of district 1 for not coming out to vote. The commissioner is on the same path of do nothing but is getting a good pay check from the taxpayers.

The tax payers of Brownsville keep getting taken because of stupidity. People in general are stupid, here in Brownsville we are the perfect example. Voters here keep voting Democrat. A party of take from the middle class and give to the poor. As for the rich, well they just cruise.
