Things are better in the Upper Valley, Juan.
fact.
Because everything sucks in Cameron County. Hildalgo County is economically booming while the lower valley is nothing more than a stagnant resaca.
The post office also has the bigger mail sorting facility in McAllen.
The Pharr bridge is another example.
The Pharr international bridge is the replacement for the Los Indios bridge.
Now all agricultural products are processed via Pharr versus Los Indios.
Again, taking away from Cameron County to Hidalgo County.
Cameron County is just too inconvenient as compared to Hidalgo County.
Maybe the politicians in Hidalgo County have more influence.
Laredo takes the cake.
Laredo mas much more political clout than Brownsville and McAllen combined.
Hats off to Laredo.
The problem is that all the counties are jealous of Cameron County.
What Cameron County has, they want.
Webb County, Hidalgo County, Starr County etc
The reason being: we have a cool name; it means crooked or FIFE.
Wow CIS is worse than BISD
Hard to belive
63 employees to serve 80 customers!
Wow , tax burden!
Harlingen sucks …. Plain and simple …. They think they can do things better than anyone in Cameron county and what they end up doing is losing all thinks to Hidalgo. Where do I start …. This project, UPS, ect.
PUB outage not allowed to report outages anymore
That' because vicente gonzalez no vale verga! Had it been Myra Flores, she would have fought for the office to remain, for sure!
Hey does Vicente Gonzalez live in Hidalgo or Cameron county? which is it? just asking for a friend.
