Special to El Rrun-Rrun
City sources say that city officials from the commissioners, the city attorney, and the chairman of the Brownsville/South Padre Island International Airport City Advisory board have been aware that one of the members appointed to that board is a convicted felon who a state court jury found guilty of promoting a Ponzi pyramid scheme which was later upheld by the 13th Court of Appeals.
The record indicates that a jury in the 206th District Court convicted Gayle C. King of two counts of promoting a pyramid promotional scheme and one count of theft by deception, both felonies, in 2002. The jury acquitted her of five other indicted charges. The court sentenced King to three concurrent sentences of two years in a State Jail facility, probated for five years, imposed a fine, and ordered restitution.
The case stemmed from King's promotion in late 2000, of a program referred to as Women Helping Women ("WHW"), Original Dinner Party ("ODP"), or "birthday club" which became popular as a "gifting club." Women who wished to join WHW would pay $5,000 for a "plate," designated as a "gift," with the expectation that their $5,000 gift would be returned to them, multiplied, as other women joined the club and paid the $5,000 gift.
King's adverse jury verdict rested on two counts of a pyramid promotional scheme and one count of theft.The record shows that King appealed her convictions to the 13th Court of Appeals in 2003 on eight issues, but in 2005 the court affirmed the jury judgment and conviction, and the sentence on Counts 1, 2, and 5.
As city officials ponder whether the city charter and the Airport Advisory Board bylaws prohibit King's appointment, the city's and board officials have been noticeably quiet about her appointment to that board.
El Rrun-Rrun has submitted information requests to the city clarifying that issue, and have yet to receive a response. We will keep our eight readers posted.

this does not affect me at all.
next story.
Es un escenario que aterroriza a la industria automotriz estadounidense.
Fabricantes de automóviles chinos se establecen en México para aprovechar las reglas comerciales de Norteamérica. Una vez instalados, envían vehículos eléctricos de precio megabajo a Estados Unidos.
A medida que los vehículos eléctricos (EV, por sus siglas en inglés) chinos salen a la venta en todo el país, a los EV de fabricación estadounidense —que cuestan un promedio de 55.000 dólares, aproximadamente el doble del precio de sus contrapartes chinas— se les dificulta competir. Las fábricas cierran. Los trabajadores pierden sus empleos en el corazón industrial de Estados Unidos.
Al final, todo podría convertirse en una dolorosa repetición de cómo la competencia china subsidiada por el gobierno devastó industrias estadounidenses, desde la acerera hasta la de paneles solares, durante el último cuarto de siglo. En esta ocasión, serían los EV, que los fabricantes de automóviles estadounidenses consideran el núcleo de su negocio en las próximas décadas.
I doubt that Trump's conviction will stand under appeal.
You can't apply for a job on any government agency as a convicted felon but you can run for president? Something is terrible wrong with our judicial system.
IMMUNITY FOR THE NEXT POTUS...DONALD TRUMP...Now whine Mexicans whine!
Does this explain why the Airport Board agreed to do business with a Mexican airline which will only fly 9 passengers a day from Monterrey. The cost of a pilot, copilot and flight attendant, makes this a very costly flight. How much is Brownsville paying for what is sure to be a failure?
That tell you that the city elected officials put their friends first with a little bit of benefits and tax the shit out of the residents of Brownsville and you and I cannot get any information from these idiots from the city of Brownsville. Brownsville a city of idiots and supported by the democrats.
If you really think about it, it really could possibly affect you down the line somewhere. Let me give you my two cents. If this story is true , this situation does and could affect the citizens of Brownsville. My friend says : If you allow this person ( with this legal history) to serve on any board it sends the message thats its ok to break the law and be rewarded. It also says that you support the ideology of having someone that defrauded people and then appointing them to an advisory board. Your saying its ok to cheat!! Additionally you are allowing someone that has the nerve and audacity to cheat people in a position to make decisions for an entity. DONT FORGET: A ROTTEN APPPLE WILL EVENTUALLY ROT THE WHOLE BUSHEL.. Not that that matters in Brownsville, just look at BCIC AND GBIC !!! Unfortunately this is just another example of the corrupt culture of politics in our town . The more crooked they are , the better they qualify for the many advisory boards we have in this town . For them the battle cry is —- THE MORE( CORRUPT )THE MERRIER !!! Just saying.
You mescans can bet if if was a mescan it would be all over the news, oh but a gringo or gringa, no guey way. They are NOT your friends pinches coco mamones y lambiscones, so quit using gringo names mescan nalgas prietas...

Juan, there's a gay reader (eldelasprietas), who keeps bringing his gay boyfriends here to read all your stuff. Just to notify you that there's way more than 8 readers in your blog.
That is right. Let lying want to be dictators run our country, states, cities and communities. Why not? It is our best interest that they have at heart. Hitler, Kim Jung Un, and Putin only help their countries. Why not?
Es un tanda

Vince Lee & Sophie Lord playing ‘Cat Man Blues’ by Blind Lemon Jefferson in the back garden, besides being white el tololoche is out of tune but sounds are great... good music my favorites...
Juan the problem is that the citizens dont care if these folks are legal or not, or many dont know or question it at all. Now if the person in question would be a lATINO then it would be a different story, lots of noise and by the way yes i am pushing the race card here, Chuy.
Brownsville needs to protest. Let us protest this craziness at the airport. We need social media, signs, tv stations, matamoros tv etc
Let us show up and protest in front of the airport....
We need more order in the airport. Matamoros has the soldiers in front of the airport...
Who con arrest this airport board: the police, the border patrol, the taxi drivers, the employees....
What do you expect? David Tumlinson IV was involved with the Fajita Bandit and threw him under the bus to save his hide. I can’t believe anyone would expect him to have integrity or ethics. Just ask around. He has always been about the clout and status, and a liar.
just hire ese idiota that lives at the library dumpster on central blvd. He's got all the qualifications to work for any government job. es RATA, mentiroso, mamon, huevon, hambriento, lambiscon, vendido, y usa un nombre gringo. He'll take re=fried beans for his salary. Aay y perrodo y apestan como ...... fuuuweeee.
same qualification as the current city manager FACT
No mames. Remember the fajita thief that stole 1.2 Million dolares of fajitas with Cameron County taxpayer money. Quien era el supervisor and now supervisando how taxpayer money is spent at the airport. Cual experience?
Tampico will get most of the storm but there is another one behind it. go to heb and use up all the stamps before all the hotdogs run out tortilla dogs are good
There is already a dictator running our country. His name is Joe Biden. His corrupt judicial system is one prime example. Now he wants to attack the supreme court because he doesn't like their rulings.
Is it true all the elected official are buying tickets to Hawaii with public funds? NO SEAN MAMONES USE YOUR OWN MONEY BOLA DE RATAS. STOP THE STEAL AND THEY ARE BUYING TICKETS FOR ALL THEIR FAMALY AND VOTING FRIENDS.
THIS NEEDS TO STOP PINCHES RATAS Y EL MAYOR DONDE ANDA EN HAWAII TAMBIEN??? CON TODOS LOS GRINGOS...

I like the way you think. I think the same way to avoid a nervous break down.
Trump nominated his friends in the Supreme Court, the Republicans approved them and the rest is history.
That is an example of: Trump Party.
@ July 2, 2024 at 10:09 PM Good ol’ David Tumlinson was his immediate supervisor. He knew and covered up for it because he benefitted from it. Ask anyone who worked with the School Nutrition Program and they’ll know the real story.
7:41 and 10:09 are 100% correct. TUBBY TUMLINSON thinks his shit don’t stink. That dude is all fake. Solamente lo que le conviene. Write more about him Montoya. Remind us about the fajita bandit and Tubby.
Remember when District Attorney Luis Saenz said that the lack of oversight constituted a “total failure” on El Gordito Tumlinsons juvenile department's part. Tumlinson was the supervisor and fajitas were being stolen for 10 YEARS. TEN YEARS!!! That is an average of more than $120000!!! Dollars being stolen from county taxpayers every year for TEN YEARS!!! TOTAL LACK OF FAILURE by Tumlinsons department. Now El Gordito Tumlinson has another position of oversight with the airport!!!! Who is the pendejo that put this guy on this airport board to provide oversight. Mucho OJO si empiensan vender fajitas at the airport.
Let's not forget that Carlos Casco was not ELECTED to the Airport Advisory Board, he was appointed just as this Gordo Tumlinsons. Carlos Casco was not elected to Cameron County's Advisory Board; he was appointed just like he was appointed to secretary of state by Abbot. The Cameron County taxpayers did not elect Carlos Casco to these prestigious positions. Neither did the taxpayer elected Henry Cuellar to secretary of state, he was appointed by corrupt Rick Perry. This is what Cuellar and Casco have in common. Carlos Casco was on the Cameron County commissioner board since 1991 thru 2002. He was very much aware of Gayle C. King's conviction since 2002. This is my opinion.
You mean this fajita person qualifies to run for president? seems like he has all the requirements. No wonder his first assignment was to get a mexican airship to fly into that RATA country and he did!!!! MOCHIS?
and that mescan got life in prison for da meat, y este gringo got a new job with an ultra high salary and does NADA NADA Y NADA. PINCHES MAMONES Y RATAS.
gringos can do no wrong here in south texas y los cocos mamandoselas...
