Convicted RICO Felon Con Artist Carlos Quintanilla Manipulating BISD Election Again!

Convicted Con Artist Now Corrupting BISD Election

Mealy-mouthed con artist Carlos Quintanilla will just not go away.  Why should he?  He can smell the $500,000,000 BISD budget all the way from Dallas.  This outsider controlled the last BISD election by forming a P.A.C. with two Brownsville women as token officers, Argellia Miller and Mary S. Rey.  Records show Quintanilla contributed in $1,000 increments to this P.A.C., although the "Treasurer", Argellia Miller knew nothing about the financials of the organization.  Nor did Mary S. Rey, the "President."

Quintanilla with his buddy, Fake "Dr." Escobedo

Like everything else Quintanilla touches, the P.A.C. was a scam to elect  trustees who would eventually see the light of dropping the $14,300,000 lawsuit against Healthsmart for overcharges.  Ted Parker, the former owner of the huge insurance firm had sent Quintanilla to Lubbock on a similar mission.  Just to refresh our collective recollection,  Carlos Quintanilla is a career criminal whose extensive criminal record includes a RICO felony conviction for bilking the G.Heileman Brewing Company out of $800,000, an alleged arrearage of $85,000 child support, at one time over $12,000 in hot checks,  liens for "theft of services" attached to his home at 421 S. Dwight, Dallas, TX and numerous other legal entanglements.  

Frequently, Quintanilla's cons have a charitable connection.  As Bobby Wightman-Cervantes reported in the BROWNSVILLE VOICE 2/12/2012: 

Quintanilla with Trustee Presas-Garcia in Dallas
Promoting the Milk Scam

"Carlos Quintanilla remains relevant because he is promising to work with BISD Trustee Cata Presas-Garcia to bring to Brownsville his flim flam claims about feeding children. The bogus nature of his claims are now part of his bankruptcy proceedings. The entire feeding program was a con wherein at best Quintanilla was table server of food paid for by the people of Texas. He now wants to sue Texas for failing to pay him $30,000 for being a humanitarian. His partner in the feeding program is Bruce Carter, a fellow convicted felon. According to court documents Carter and his organization is facing a default judgment for $508,387 for non-payment for the milk used by Carter and Quintanilla to feed the children. Quintanilla is not a named party because like I said, Quintanilla appears to have been merely a table server for Bruce Carter."

So here we go again.  On his obscure, seldom read blog, Quintanilla promotes the candidacy of his longtime puppet Cata Presas-Garcia and a dear friend of ours, Argellia Miller.  I fear that just like last time with the bogus P.A.C., Mrs. Miller is an unwitting pawn in Quintanilla's game.  Of course, regardless of the outcome of the next BISD race, Quintanilla operatives Lucy Longoria, Christina Saavedra and Enrique Escobedo will still hold their positions.   

Mary S. Rey

One clearly independent candidate, Mary S. Rey, who filed for position 3, faces Argellia Miller and Otis Powers.  Soon you may see Quintanilla-financed articles blasting Ms. Rey.  You will hear that Ms. Rey has a son, facing a murder charge.  For that very reason, I suggested to Mary she not run for BISD trustee.  But, all who know Mary,  know she follows the beat of her own drummer.  Even in the face of a Quintanilla-manipulated majority, she will speak the truth.  She is not afraid of a fight.  She is not afraid of Quintanilla, as she proved in last year's deposition when she exposed him as not only a con artist, but a consummate liar.
