Republican-led U.S. Senate has axed Donald Trump's requested $1 billion for his White House ballroom. OUCH!!!

Trump has spent 70 years of being corrupt and breaking the law so you have to learn really quickly how to keep yourself out of prison no matter who you have to use and abuse. All the people dealing with him, have not had 70 years to learn how to deal with this kind of a corrupt monstrosity.

Well it’s about time the rules are followed. Now he can take all his friends he brought in along with him. Now the mayor and commissioners need to clean house and hold people accountable.

including EDC Director Sandoval's assistant at the EDC who gets paid $85k per year and is also allegedly on the board of directors of the Municipal Utility District created at the request of city manager Fred Sandoval.

Well now let’s see if the mayor and city commission follow the city charter on appointment of city manager. But candidates will be limited to residents of the city or a candidate that would be willing to pack the family and move to San Benito.

1:06. Who would want to pack their family and move to San Benito? SB is a dump. Downtown looks horrible.
Restaurants closing in SB.
Abandoned buildings and houses all over town. Grass overgrown in vacant lots.
It’s going to take years to clean up this dump of a city.

Anyone is better than Doro, as long as they can finish a project without a Mordida they’re better than Doro!
