Dolcefino Media has filed a lawsuit in Cameron County, accusing the City of San
Benito and the San Benito Economic Development Corporation of illegally
withholding public records.
“Enough is enough,” said Dolcefino Media President Wayne Dolcefino. “We are
asking the court to finally force this rogue government to release public records, requested as
part of an ongoing Corruption investigation in the Rio Grande Valley city.”
San Benito City Manager Fred Sandoval is one of the public officials targeted in the lawsuit. The city manager has refused to provide text messages. A Dolcefino Media investigation has uncovered evidence that Sandoval was in significant financial trouble when hired by the City.
Since then, Sandoval has pushed contracts with longtime friends, including
early contracts for a planned multi-million-dollar concert venue at the city
fairgrounds.
“When Sandoval’s history is juxtaposed with the hiding of records... the
secrecy and lack of transparency becomes even more concerning,” the lawsuit
reads.
Dolcefino Media has exposed alleged nepotism, what it calls the attempted
hijacking of a multi-million-dollar shopping center at taxpayers’ expense, a
child molester on the EDC Board, violations of state transparency laws and
questionable contracts during an investigation that began last spring. The
mayor’s brother was cited for assault on Wayne Dolcefino during one of our
visits.
One of the defendants in the lawsuit is Jose Morales, a former member of the
EDC Board. TheTexas Attorney General ordered Morales to release phone records
to Dolcefino investigators, but he resigned and refused to release the
documents.
The lawsuit was filed by Kelsey Galbraith and Jeff Diamant of Jeff Diamant PC,
a Houston law firm.
The City of San Benito has a new law firm handling public information requests,
O’Hanlon, Demerath & Castillo. The city replaced another law firm handling
public records requests after they released emails Sandoval had refused to
provide. Those records helped expose the relationships between Sandoval and
city contractors.

Another lawsuit. Just like the one the X-EDC BOARD PRESIDENT JULIAN RIOS has against the city. He is praying the court of appeals grants him personally 100 thousand dollars or less from damage the city cause to him. To my understanding he is claiming he brought forth the lawsuit to protect the citizens,taxpayers and voters from the sneaky ways of the city and not being transparent. So why is Mr Rios not being transparent with the citizens of San Benito and wanting to fill his pockets with their money. Makes you wonder who else possibly stands to profit from the 100 thousand dollars or so of taxpayers money. Remember BEING TRUTHFUL IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO.
Where's the DA?
Where's the FBI?
Wayne Dolcefino. Former journalist that now has a LLC that investigages nepotism. Try to take Trump to Court Dolcefino: his sons, daughters, dauther in llaw, son in law, father in law, all got jobs and money thanks to Trump being president. Go for it.
Isn’t the current city manager doing the same thing as the past city manager. They say the past city manager would send all the FOI requests to the A G for review and nobody had an issue with it. But it must be nice to have a very close family member that works for or used to work for the TX A.G. But seriously the city needs to release all the FOI requests not bound by current a current investigation.
Blah, blah, blah, blah. And the price of eggs?
Let these clowns battle it in court.
You are trying to change the subject Vato.
Every time I drive past San Benito, I fart. It's the only time my farts smell like the environment.
Trump and America - Not Winning.
Migración irregular, desafío para Centroamérica y México
La historia de Sofía es el epicentro de una investigación internacional realizada por Proceso y Galería News, medio de Nicaragua, sobre los peligros que enfrentan las infancias migrantes de origen centroamericano en su paso por territorio mexicano.
Trump threatened a sharp escalation in the budding trade war with Canada in retaliation for Ontario’s export surcharge on US electricity. Trump said he would respond in kind to Ontario’s 25% surcharge on electricity to New York, Minnesota and Michigan with a 25% tariff on Canadian electricity. That could increase costs even more for Americans, particularly in northern states that rely on energy from Canada.
The Biden market was strong because of President Biden, period.
Every time a Republican gets elected as president a Democrat has to later in and fix his mess.
Trump will have to learn the hard way that bully-nomics just doesn’t work!
When does the winning start?
If Social Security payments stop, civil unrest is inevitable. Seniors on a rampage will not be a pretty sight.
Democrats: "Don't get in the way of Republicans making fools of themselves"
Recession is when your neighbor loses his job.
Depression is when you lose yours.
And recovery is when Donald Trump loses his.
You should see the price of eggs now. Did a hard pass last grocery trip. Not happy. Trump has no clue.
So sad to see US fall so low. Those who voted for Trump should now see what damage they have done to the country.
Billionaires crash economy knowing they'll survive and everyone else will be even more desperate for money. Right in front of us.
More legal expenses caused by these guys. LOL..
Kamala Harris was 100% right in her assessment that Donald Trump is extremely easy to manipulate. Folding like a chair to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. How embarrassing
Stock markets plummet further. Great move president oink.
We should all send empty egg cartons to the White House.
My SS check is all I have. If those checks stop, I've got nothing to lose by becoming an angry protester. Hunger is a serious motivator!

US Market LIVE: Dow Drops 300 Points as Market Sell-off Gains Steam on Recession Fears | NYSE LIVE | CNBC TV18
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell Tuesday after President Donald Trump placed additional tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum coming into the U.S.
The 30-stock average lost 455 points, or 1.1%, while the S&P 500 dropped 1.1%. The Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.6%.
Elon Musk on Monday in an interview with Fox Business Network's Larry Kudlow referred to federal spending on programs such as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid as areas that need to be eliminated.
Musk says Democrats use such programs to attract illegal immigrants and turn them into voters.
Trump's still the same spoiled brat that throws a tantrum when he doesn't get his way. Unfortunately, that overgrown toddler has all the power right now, and that sucks for all of us.
I have been calling my congressman asking that he address the Social Security cuts issue. I hear nothing from him or his office staff about it. Terrifying to lose it, most people I know would be ruined without it. How can we get dumb MAGA voters to understand how hard they will be hit?
It sickens me that Democrats are afraid to fight back. FIGHT!!! Kick his big fat ass already!!!!
they'll pee everywhere have to hire a mobile toilet, sin no forgetaboutit...y la pestillencia
mojado inglesto estupido!!
the elected officials that gave este pendejo free land (400acres) are all on SS, Medicaid and other low income bnefits, GRACIAS PINCHE MAMON
REVOLUTION SEEMS TO BE AROUND THE CORNER
If i don't get my SS check, someone is going to hurt.
Ya know Trump’s just trying to cause such chaos that he can declare a state of emergency
Goodbye, food stamps. Done deal.
Why do you care? You don't own stock anyway.
Republicans who don't agree with Elon and Trump should leave the party. I did. In my opinion, remaining a Republican at this point is a thumbs up to some real madness .
How many vets voted maga? My guess is substantially more than 50%. Oh well. You get what you vote for, I guess. When the motivation for your vote is to hurt others, and you end up hurting yourself, I can't say that I have much sympathy.
Shame on all who put him back in power
Indefensible
He belongs behind bars
Ultimately, White people are all okay with Trump and what he's doing.
11:59 Factual statement. Get ready for the Trump Recession. Only took him two months to compromise our
economy. The WSJ, owned by Rupert Murdoch, is trashing Trump
tariffs. Trump lies again stating he hasn’t seen the Stock Market reports. The “indoctrinated” MAGA
cult doesn’t see this or worse, doesn’t care.
Uh just turn on the news.
Sush your mouth. Trump gave the order to quiet down and do not complain.
No, they think Trump is a showman. Trump will fix it. It is like a Mexican novela, they will suffer and cry but at the end the WHITE Supremacy will win. The Trump followers understand all this: suffer, get what you want WHITES in Power again.
Plus the grandchildren will suffer a lot. Grandmas and Grandpas are the banks for the sons, daughters and grandchildren.
Yes, it is higher. Almost 90% of vets voted for Trump. They wanted him A STRONG MAN to be the Commander in Chief and he would be a bully and put America First. What they got: Trump a president of a small group: the millionaires.
They want to buy what you have but they want to buy with little money. You will sell your car, your land, your ranch, for a few dollars. They have the cash to buy it. Pay all your credit cards and do not go on a vacation during Spring Break. Think before it is too late.
Musk stole the election from Harris. Musk needed Trump to do his shenanigans.
Someone said it best above, people's hate is real. They voted Trump because they hated their neighbors, or a co-worker and figured Trump would hurt them. It back fired and Trump is hurting everyone where it hurts, pocket book. We have to come together and vote them out.
There is no such thing as an honest person from San Benito.
Why do you think the Feds or the DA is not investigating? Because Guerra was a Fed, and a poor one at that! What a disappointment to the city of San Bene!
The United States of Canada das whas nex, y mejico? out on da streets de pidiches... viva mesco, ah, ya gotta quada ya can giv mi???
So 100 thousand dollars for Julian Rios and 100 thousand for Wang Dolcefino. Not a bad racket.
No he's askin for 2 sacks of beans and a dozen huevos but did not specify what kind of huevos...
