| Carlos Marin, Quietly Draining the Lifeblood from Brownsville |
The fact that the event was "men only" raises some questions: Did Marin invite strippers, prostitutes or even transvestites to the event? Who knows or even cares? Marin does what he does behind closed doors and answers to no one. He plays city politics to make money for his engineering firm, Ambiotec. Another prominent engineer told me that he only bids on smallish projects. Ambiotec automatically gets all the large ones. Why waste his time?
Marin, along with IBC buddy, Fred Rusteberg, has positioned himself to control development in the FM 511 industrial corridor including the Port of Brownsville. I'm told that leases have already been signed to allow LNG plants to operate from the Port of Brownsville to the city limits of Port Isabel, dispensing mercury, hydrogen sulfide, helium, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons and other impurities from the natural gas into the state's most pristine atmosphere.
The air pollution will be joined by millions of gallons of daily hot effluent pumped into the pristine estuaries of the Bahia Grande, threatening the habitat of birds, ocelots and other game on life support in the region.
We all want Carlos Marin to make some money, keep his family off welfare, but why must all of his grandiose projects threaten the future and health of all Brownsville families? Is Carlos that big of an asshole?

ReplyDeleteHey, he bought everybody fair and square according to the standards set in Cameron County by such leading figures as _______________
ReplyDeleteFill in the blank? Be more clear when engaging in feeble attempts to be clever, Maria.
DeleteI'm on the trail of a real corrupt official. Just need one more document.
ReplyDeleteWhat document is it? A receipt from the dollar store?
DeleteHot off the presses...Oliveira's support of Annova LNG just posted to the FERC elibrary system. There are 72 hits, virtually all non-supportive of the project, but Rep. Oliveira assures "strong support from the local community and its leaders." Tomorrow's open house by Rio Grande LNG should be interesting.

Of course he supports it. He got his cousin, former TV newsman Ron Oliveira, a job with the LNG promotional machine pushing Annova LNG, the San Antonio firm of LMG Communications, and the poor guy can't even spell his pitch on the FB page when he says "If you're story is not getting out to the media..." Really, dude?
DeleteI HAVE THE DOCUMENTS!!! But in the morning I am leaving early for surgery to remove gallstones from my cystic duct, so no time to finish my post.
ReplyDeleteChannel 5 making a Big deal of Rick Diaz retirement. The Internet has this about him: "Rio Grande Valley:
ReplyDeleteKRGV (ABC) News: Rick Diaz 1967, retired in 1998, came out of retirement in 2000"
The fat blogger is in league with this POS Marin. He will NOT post negative comments about him. So much for "no sacred cows".
ReplyDeleteCata is now trying to gain support from this guy, for the 2016 BISD Elections.... what do you all think about this?
