(Ed.'s Note: The last time that former Brownsville Independent School District board counsel Baltazar Salazar poked his head out of his hole was just before the district's board member election when he was seen with BISD rogue board members Carlos Elizondo and Frank Ortiz trying to take over the board majority. If they had achieved their goal, Elizondo had spread the word that the superintendent would be replaced and that Salazar - who had been fired by the previous majority - would be back in the gravy train with a $300,000-plus salary tag. 
Fortunately for the district, only one seat was gained by the conspirators - Minerva Pena's -not enough to oust the super, and, more importantly, not enough to get the lawyer's cushy gig back. As the story below shows, that is not the only underhanded activity the slithery Balty has been up to.
His shenanigans with the Progreso city commission have resulted in a commissioner filing a complaint against him with the Texas State Bar. Prior top that, the Rio Grande ISD also had enough of him and fired him, too. Veteran Valley reporter Dave Hendricks fills in the details of this slimy shyster.)

McALLEN, Texas (ValleyCentral) — A member of the Progreso City Council filed a complaint against City Attorney Baltazar Salazar a week ago Saturday, concerned that Salazar had taken part in “clear misconduct.”
Salazar represented Mayor Hugo Gamboa, City Councilwoman Sandra V. Estrada and City Councilman Raul Flores in a lawsuit against the city of Progreso.
While the lawsuit remained pending, Gamboa, Estrada and Flores hired Salazar to serve as the city attorney. “It, absolutely — to me — is a conflict of interest,” said City Councilman Javier Morales, who filed the complaint.
Morales mailed the seven-page complaint to the State Bar of Texas on Saturday morning. He sent a copy to Hidalgo County District Attorney Toribio “Terry” Palacios, Hidalgo County Sheriff J.E. “Eddie” Guerra and the Texas Rangers.
“It needs to be investigated,” Morales said. “And, if it’s a slap on the wrist, if it’s: ‘Hey, don’t do that,’ — then that’s fine. I’m not asking for them to do anything out of the ordinary.”
Gamboa, Estrada and Flores filed a lawsuit against the city of Progreso in August. Salazar agreed to represent them without charge.
Along with the city, they sued Morales, City Councilman Ruben Abundiz, City Councilman Raul Martinez, City Manager Alfredo Espinosa and Assistant City Manager Francisco “Frank” Alanis.
The lawsuit claimed they had mismanaged City Council elections to maintain “corrupt political power.”
Members of the City Council are supposed to serve three-year terms.
Some members, however, served for more than four years without running for reelection. Others ran for reelection after serving just two years.
As a result, it remained unclear which City Council positions should appear on the November ballot and when each City Council term ended.
The mismanagement of local elections resulted in the “suppression and elimination of the entire political process” in Progreso, according to the lawsuit.
After holding a hearing, state District Judge Joel Johnson ordered Progreso to place three City Council positions on the November ballot.
Johnson, however, didn’t make a decision on the City Council terms.
“I’m not doing it today,” Johnson said during a hearing on Sept. 3.
“OK,” Salazar said. “Well, we’ll continue because it’s still a live suit. So we’ll continue to come to the court.”
On Sept. 27, while the lawsuit remained pending, the City Council held a meeting. Just three members — Gamboa, Estrada and Flores — showed up.
They fired City Attorney Javier Villalobos and replaced him with Salazar, who had represented them in the lawsuit against Progreso.
“I believe he’s the right person that’s going to guide us in the right direction,” Gamboa said after the meeting on Sept. 27.
Gamboa signed a contract with Salazar that included a flat fee of $4,000 per month.
“I believe this represents a clear case of conflict of interest,” Morales wrote to law enforcement officials, including the sheriff and the district attorney, “which is why a complaint with the State Bar has been filed.”
Salazar declined to comment. Gamboa said he didn’t see any issue with Salazar representing him before accepting the city attorney position.
“They can do whatever they want,” Gamboa said. “I really don’t have any major concerns or comments on that.”

Salazar the Puppet Master.
San Bene and Guerra filed a mandamus against Judge Garcia. The Stay of Judge Garcia's order remains
This is an example of why the BISD is considered rotten to the core. The simple thought of anyone even considering bringing this fool back is incomprehensible and inconceivable!!! So for now its safe to say the BISD has dodged a bullet when it comes to this shady character right???? That’s why the BISD is the laughingstock of the valley, maybe even the state !!
You have whipped this guy for years. Get over it. You're not going to see him behind bars, cabron. Look at him, laughing at your poor ass.

READ THE ENTIRE TEXT!!!
"(EDITOR'S NOTE: At The McHale Report we have been waiting for retired educator Frank Ortiz to show his balls and put fellow BISD trustee Carlos Elizondo in his place. He finally did Thursday night when he voted for Erasmo Castro to be the board's new president. Longtime blogger and respected journalist Juan Montoya reported via his sources that the belligerent bully Elizondo had confronted Ortiz over the latter's decision. Ortiz has finally seen the light and it isn't in the dark cave that the bitter Elizondo inhabits. He recognizes that if the district is going to move forward, somebody had to step into the room and be the adult. He knew that Elizondo, salivating with vengeance, would have been a disaster as the board president, particularly when he has always opposed Superintendent Dr. Jesus Chavez and had intimated that he wanted the super terminated. Elizondo never does anything for the right reasons. He is blinded by self-hate. Ortiz discerned this reality and could not in good conscious abide by Elizondo's tyranny who wouldn't think twice about leading the BISD off the precipice and into the abyss. Joined by Castro, outgoing President Jessica Gonzalez, new VP Daniella Lopez Valdez, and Denise Garza, Ortiz, in the classical John McCain fashion, gave Elizondo a dramatic thumbs down. For the thousands who want the best for the BISD, they applaud Ortiz for rejecting Elizondo who only knows intimidation. The majority, in an attempt to meet in the middle, elected Minerva Pena, presently in Elizondo's back pocket, to the office of secretary. Will this be the new majority? Doubtful. The gals Gonzalez, Lopez Valdez and Garza will stick together, but Castro and Ortiz will swing depending on the issue. And if Elizondo thinks he's going to control the feline Pena, good luck herding cats. Ultimately, Elizondo may find himself in a minority of one. On a personal level, nobody likes him. And to add insult to injury, the new board intentionally humiliated Elizondo for all his excesses by denying him an officer's post.)"
Although, I DO NOT ENTIRELY agree that "Panchochita AKA - Frank Ortiz" has grown any "balls", he has decided that he doesn't want to go DOWN with or ON Carlos Elizanda AKA "La Rata Pelona" any longer. Truth be told, "If you live by the sword you will die by the sword"!!! Besides, everyone knows that Carlos Elizanda AKA - "La Rata Pelona and "Panchochita AKA - Frank Ortiz both have little stumpies between their legs so to make of for their lack of manhood, they are bullies to attempt to control. And, as an old Spanish saying goes... "Un valente sera un valente mientras que un cobadre lo permite" Translation "A brave man will be a brave man while a coward allows it"
I agree...however, as I remember the old Spanish saying, it goes more like this "Un valente intimidará hasta que el cobarde le ponga fin" English - "A bully will bully until a a coward puts a stop to it" But then again, both are a reflection of the same message.
Carlos Elizonda, La Rata Pelona que camina con una sonrisa de maricon mentras qué camina con su consolador en su culo!
Translation; Carlos Elizondo, The Hairless Rat who walks with a faggot smile while he walks with his dildo in his ass!
So true
"A bully will bully until a coward puts a stop to it"
"A brave man will be a brave man while a coward allows it"
Thank you to those individuals on the Board and Teacher Associations who refuse to be part of the hypocrisy, political agendas, misrepresentation of educational responsibilities, misrepresentation of Fiscal responsibilities
To the voted board trustee elected and voted President, we pray that your campaigning words and actions do not become dust, lies
Carlos es transa ! He always has been and always will be. Baltazar and Carlos are scheming.
Fuera Carlos Elizondo Rata!
You know, now that you pointed out that "que camina con una sonrisa de maricon mentras qué camina con su consolador en su culo!" he does walk around with a little odd-looking smile, I always thought it was his arrogance 😂
