De Leon, the perceived frontrunner in his race for City Commissioner At-Large "A" against Roberto Uresti, will likely, if elected, be the swing vote when the Lincoln Park sale, conveyance, gifting comes before the City Commission one last time.
Oh, you thought the Lincoln Park transfer was a done deal? City Attorney Mark Sossi says "no!" Please recall that when private citizen Luis V. Saenz tried to file an injunction to block the sale of the park to UT, Sossi claimed there was no sale to block, as the City Commission had merely endorsed a resolution to authorize its agents to enter into negotiations for a sale. That statement not only opens the door for price negotiation but means that the whole matter must come once again before the commission for final approval.
When that happens, three commissioners have already publicly stated they oppose the sale: Jessica Tetreau-Kalifa, John Villarreal and Ricardo Longoria. Jessica has never voted to sell the park, while both John and Ricardo reversed their position after hearing the public outcry at the October 30 town hall meeting. Can the wishy-washy Longoria, running for re-election against Roman Perez and Michael Gonzalez, be trusted to honor his commitment?
Roman Perez, if elected, would protect Southmost's interests, while Michael Gonzalez feels the deal is already "under the hat" and promises to work on odor control at the new site. Certainly, Rose Gowen, Debbie Portillo and the tie-breaker, Tony Martinez, will vote to gift the park to UT. Roberto Uresti would vote against the sale.

Will Cesar protect taxpayer interests or be a shill for Abraham Galonzky and Tony Martinez?
de leon has shown himself to be a pussy. sarkis nephew, too. No way!!!
ReplyDeleteGet informed you idiot. Sarkis is not his uncle and whose puppet are you?
ReplyDeleteI don't trust this guy. Too green and not willing to take public stances on critical issues. He is a good looking kid and that will get him a long way. But in the end, his lack of experience and eagerness for acceptance will cause him to go with tony.
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't take a public stance on critical issues because he already knows whose interests he will guard....it's not the city's ! If elected Cesar Galonsky will help the mayor continue plundering the city's assets . Fake and bad news.
ReplyDeleteCesar de Leon will succeed in bringing change to Brownsville. He is a smart young visionary that will bring an updated vision to our city. The negative comments are "fake and bad news", just people jumping to conclusions with no concrete evidence.
ReplyDeleteYes Galonsky ,sure. ASK him about his updated vision for the regular taxpayers , not what his "United Brownsville "buddies want. Ask where he stands on "Lincoln Park ".....if he is such a smart visionary he shouldn't have a problem telling the voters what he's about.
