WERE REPUBLICANS PLAYED IN CITY ELECTION BY SUGAR MAMA LAMANTIA AS SHE SEEKS LOST D-27 SENATOR'S POSITION?


Special to El Rrun-Rrun

When they say that politics makes for strange bedfellows, they could have been talking about the City of Brownsville and Cameron County.

After MAGA Republicans Susan Rubalcava and Deborah Bell campaigned and took credit for ALL the City of Brownsville elected officials' wins in those non-partisan races, as soon as last night's swearing in of Pedro Cardenas and Nurith Galonsky, Morgan LaMantia had reservations at Toscafinos to hand out assignments (and checks?) for a run against District 27 Senator Adam Hinojosa, who defeated her last year.

Brownsville Navigation District Chair Steve Guerra and Cameron County Clerk Sylvia Garza-Perez were not at city hall for Cardenas' and Galonsky's swearing-in, but showed up for the LaMantia fest at Toscafino's.  So it's a far reach to say this was a spur of the moment coincidence. This was obviously planned to get everyone on the campaign (and payroll) to support LaMantia again. 

Garza Perez specifically denied any such arrangement and said she and Guerra just happened to be there.

Curiously, Bell, the Cameron County Republican Party chair, was cheering on and campaigning for Cardenas and Galonsky in the city races. Did she know that Cardenas would be a willing participant in the LaMantia camp, a Democrat? Was the newby played?

And even though LaMantia's followers say she want to run against Sen. Chuy Hinojosa, state senator for District 20 in Hidalgo County, it is becoming apparent that she wants her old position back.

It gets curiouser and curiouser. Garza-Perez quickly denied the gathering was planned and said that "it was nothing planned" and that "we just happened" to be at the same place.

Actually, it seemed if the gang at Toscafino's was more like they were showing support for LaMantia's ample bank account. It just so happens that she is making her run again with the help of perennial (and notorious) influence peddler Ruben O'Bell, now employed with UTRGV after his benefactors – Eddie Lucio Jr., and Lucio III – were thrown out of their political positions. O'Bell, as usual, has a nose for money and is now LaMantia's personal political handler here.

O'Bell  actually presented Cardenas with a gavel said to have been used by the late A. R. “Babe” Schwartz, who represented Galveston County in the Texas legislature. What Cardenas – holding municipal office – has do with the state legislature wasn't clearly explained. 

And if you take a close look, even BISD's pariah board member Carlos Elizondo was there with his better half. 

Can you count how many elected officials are up for reelection in the top picture?

Que revoltura! Por eso estamos como estamos.

Juan, everyone does it. Remember how Erasmo Castro era el compa de Elizondo and how Erasmo hated Eddie Garcia, Jessica Gonzales,.all of them, but turned after $$$$ was put on his taco plate. His sobrino Frankie Olivo and Mom, Linda Castro showed up to pick up food at Toscafinos. Eran sobras but Frankie was called to come over. He is also on the La Mantia payroll. Aver, his mom even got down to say hi to Sarkis and Elizondo at Toscafinos. Linda may be old, pero todavía puede.

"Like maggots feeding on dead flesh…" That’s what comes to mind when I think of Carlos Elizanda—La Rata Pelona. A disgrace to the badge, a thief in uniform, and without question, one of the worst fire chiefs we've ever had.

A total failure in leadership and character. Some people wear the title, but never earn it. He’s the kind that gives the whole profession a black eye.

Enough said. History will remember the truth—even when rats like him try to bury it. Sylvia, stay away....he will smear you name and the good you've done for our community!!!

Cindy Elizondo got promoted from a failing RHS school counselor to another school and greener pastures. Promoted for not reporting a teacher student relationship. Only at bisd will this happen. all the BISD moms, be careful if your child goes to school wherever Cindy is at.

La Mantia lost because a blogger found out that she was going to do deals for her family business. Right now, she would be close to Trump. She is a former Republican according to old timers.
