The event not only had several corporate sponsors including H.E.B., but collected $50.00 per person from a reported 500+ attendees. The event was reported to have been organized and run by the same San Antonio outfit that ran Tony Martinez' mayoral campaign. I wanted to find out if that firm was an approved City of Brownsville vendor or, at the very least, an approved state vendor. If they received a check, was it from the City of Brownsville? It will also be interesting to see if payment reaches the $35,000 threshold that requires City Commission approval.
Gonzalez and Granada were most cordial but asked that I submit the queries as an Open Records request with the City Secretary, which I did.
Another story I'm checking on is the effect of the soon-to-be completed Superhighway 40 from Mazatlan to Matamoros on local trucking. I've submitted some questions to a local trucking company.
