Special to El Rrun-Rrun
It's been four days since the golf tournament fundraiser for District 4 City of Brownsville commissioner Pedro Cardenas was to be held at Riverbend Resort but was suddenly cancelled and the hundreds of participants/contributors still have not received an explanation from the commissioner for its cancellation.
Originally, the tournament was to be held Thursday, September 5, but had been postponed due to bad weather. Then, with the event scheduled for Friday, October 11, sponsors showed up at the course and were told there was no tournament scheduled for that day. Cardenas never informed anyone about the cancellation up to today.
Several contributors have reached out to El Rrun-Rrun seeking an explanation and what Cardenas is gong to do to address the issue. But unlike the past, when Cardenas used social media to promote the event, no such explanation has been posted by the city commissioner.
His most recent entry was a reposting of a City of Brownsville post on SpaceX 's successfully completing its 5th integrated flight test of Starship, including the first-ever tower catch with the chopsticks.Cardenas, who is not running for re-election the District 4 seat he now holds but rather for the At-Large B seat now held by Rose Gowen, has had trouble complying with the city's campaign financial requirements and had not complied with financial disclosure requirements until a complaint was filed with the Brownsville Ethics Advisory Commission and Texas Ethics Commission (TEC).
The Brownsville Ethics Advisory Commission claimed that the complaint did not address the ordinance alleged to have been violated and dismissed it out-of-hand. The TEC, however, said that an investigation was underway. After the complaint was failed with the city, a report was quickly filed with the city secretary after seven months of non-compliance.
It may be noted that his campaign treasurer is none other than Eliseo Davila, the administrative assistant for Cameron County Pct. 2.
For now, however, all the contributors to the fundraiser golf tournament have been kept in the dark about the tournament or their contributions. Will they get an answer, be made whole, or should they just consider it a bad investment in city politics?
Citizens trust their representatives to pass their budgets, pay the bills, and incur obligations on their behalf for city services and improvements. And above, all, they expect them to keep their promises to be accountable and transparent.
We'll keep our eyes and ears open to see whether an answer is forthcoming.
Ironically, it has just been since September 24 that the Brownsville Police Department arrested a man they say was attempting to scam people out of money by falsely raising campaign funds.Police said Diego Amir Paz told a victim he was running for Port Commissioner and was raising campaign funds. Paz was arrested and charged with theft.

Mexicans at play.
He paid the builders of his new home with the tournament money 💰. Stop following and voting for this Brownsville grifter.
Brownsville LOVE grifters….
His downtown coffee shop that he and his wife used City of Brownsville grant money to fund is quickly failing. But since he is from matamoros, laws do not apply to him.

El que no transa no avansa!! No pienso que la policia ni Luis Saenz hagan nada, todos son amigos. Todos juegan el mismo juego . No todos los negocios del centro la van hacer pero ellos comoquiera ya chingaron con los edificios y las remodelaciónes con el dinero gratis de BCIC. Que tal pollos , buenos pa chingar a la gente y a la ciudad. Pero los mismos oficiales tienen la culpa por permitir a estos pendejos que hagan lo que se les pegue la gana y la ley no hace nada !!! Y les apuesto que ese vato Cardenas va volver a ganar de comisionado .Para pendejo no se estudia ciudad de Brownsville
His inability to cover the check at the golf course might also explain his inability to pay the tuition at StJoe for his kids. So he is given scholarships. No need to pay he is from a wealthy family in Matamoros, so he says!!

Police chief Felix "El Mesero" Sauceda and the rest of the police department would like to let everyone know that he will be running for King of Brownsville. Please go out and vote!
