Cameron County Republican Party Secretary Ida R. Stacy |
Morris, as you may recall, sent two distinctly different retirement emails this past May 14 to Party Secretary Ida R. Stacy among others.
His first retirement email letter, sent at 12:36 PM May 14, seemed permanent. He stated that he'd taken his name off the checkbook, removed it from vendor accounts, giving the "new chairman" 30 days to "pick up the materials and files." Paraphrasing Dr. Martin Luther King, Morris said he felt "free at last."
Below is the initial letter:
“I submit my resignation as Cameron County Republican chairman effective immediately. Also I resign from the SREC (State Republican Executive Committee) SD 27 as of this date. If I need to resign on June 16th, I will do so. I also resign as the primary administrator for Cameron County this date. I will close out all vendors’ account requiring my

In an unusual second letter, sent at 11:59PM, over 11 hours later, Morris seems to confine his retirement only to the "current term," ending June 15, 2014. Did Morris have second thoughts about retiring? Was his initial, more comprehensive retirement influenced by challenges within the local party of his credentials, challenges he admitted "saddened" him?
Youth Outreach Director James Ross |
Adding to the confusion in Cameron County is the role of the Party Secretary, Ida G. Stacy of Harlingen. According to Republican Party rules, once the party secretary receives the resignation, he or she must notify the Executive Committee, a composite of the local party chairs, of the vacancy. A meeting is called of the precinct chairs, who elect a new chairman. There is no indication this policy was followed in the county. A rumor surfaced, later denied, that Youth Outreach Director James Ross had been "appointed" by Stacy as Interim County Chairman. Later, the spin from an anonymous authority became that Ross was simply Pro Tem Director, language not found in Republican Party rules.
Precinct Chair 102 Tad Hasse filed a suit heard in the 107th District Court July 31 by Murray attempting to have Morris' resignation declared valid, nullifying his
attempt to rescind the resignation. Judge Murray asked for both parties to file briefs, giving him an opportunity to consider the ruling. That has been done. We await Judge Murray's ruling.

Ted Hasse? Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ReplyDeletePray tell, "whose" attention is shifting to Ida and creating a part III to the Hasse v. Everybody He Wants to Jack With Saga? Because this sounds like a manufactured conflict only meant to keep his crap going. Yawn.
ReplyDeletePart III?
DeleteBriefs filed awaiting judge's decision is a new development, thus another story. The performance of the county secretary is a noteworthy contributing factor to the confusion. Once a decision is made concerning the Morris retirement, there will be a followup story.
ReplyDeleteFrank Morris needs to move aside and get some new life in the Cameron County Republican Party. We seem to have a Democratic Party that is corrupt to the core, and a Republican Party whose members fight among themselves. Not good for anyone....Vote Libertarian!
ReplyDeleteI just love that spirit that makes people do things that they probably shouldn’t.
DeleteIt’s time! Being on tv, that’s for like Greg Brady and crap. We belong on the silver screen. Our weiners look so much bigger on a big screen. So, that’s pretty much why we’re doing the movie. You know, it’s more flattering.
ReplyDeleteThere was not one filing, news report, nor court hearing without Ida Stacy's name in it. What is so strange about a blogger noticing this? More cover-up in the making?
ReplyDeleteLULZ.....shaddup. You are a joke. You are just trying to makea new story and manufacture something else to ride like a net where after the lawsuit concludes. Nobody was calling out Barton. He was calling out the obvious attempt to shift the focus to other people in the event of this cluster fuck not panning out.
Delete"Tad Hasse is using Montoya and Barton to mislead people as to what is happening" Can you elaborate on the latest statement made by the BV blogger.
ReplyDeleteAs difficult as it is to read minds, your question might be more appropriately directed to its source, the BV blogger.
DeleteThat Bobby is a douchebag. Next question please....
DeleteWho's attention has shifted? The courts or yours?? Because only the court will settle this. Not you idiots on here. Reminds me of Jr. High drama. Rumors, accusations, lies.
ReplyDelete*Whose
DeleteAnd the rest was dead on.
No matter what the court does or does not do, Jr. High will continue due to the continuous outflow of The High Llamas of Dramas.
DeleteObfusticating the issues of all the appointments flying. around over the summer by blaming "Drama llamas" does nothing to address the situation and how it is to be dealt with.
DeleteI tried to understand what the BV was trying to get at with the new public officer angle. Does sitting on the election commission count as a public officer with government interests at the count level? If so then yeah a county chair is a public officer, albeit a small one.
ReplyDeleteKind of like being a little bit pregnant?
DeleteSo who are the Young Republicans promoting as the next Party Secretary?
ReplyDeleteWhat is the deadline for supeona duces tecum in the Ida Stacy case?

ReplyDeleteThat pudgy pussbag looks like he is the Republican Youth Outreach Minister. He looks like he eats a lot of tacos in Southmost.
ReplyDelete7:11. You have such an ugly spirit. May God have mercy on your soul. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like someone invoked The Cone of Silence.
