Carlos Marin, Car Salesman Mike Hernandez III Make One Last Push to Avoid Going 0-6 in BND, TSC Races

Evelyn Cantu, Controlled by the Not-So-Dynamic Duo,
Carlos Marin and Dallas Car Salesman Mike Hernandez III

Evelyn Cantu has no business running for TSC Trustee, Place 3, considering she has zero experience at the community college level, except that North Texas Car Dealer Mike Hernandez III, have made it their business to financially sponsor 6 candidates in the Brownsville Navigation District and Texas Southmost College races.  So far, they are 0-5, with the voters, rejecting outside influence and insider influence peddling and soundly rejecting Ed Rivera and Raul Villanueva for BND positions and Beatriz Hockaday,  Daniel Pizana and Tony Juarez for places on the TSC Board of Trustees.

Loser Mike Hernandez III

Hernandez III and Marin have their beady, greedy little eyes focused on mega-buck development at the Port of Brownsville, the FM 550 industrial corridor and the necessary job training for that development. Having key people in place at the Port of Brownsville and Texas Southmost College gives them the leg up, the unequal playing field needed to gain control.  

Hernandez III, used to closing sales, not watching the customer walk away, and Marin, a behind-the-scenes influence in Brownsville politics for two decades, are pulling out all the proverbial stops to place at least one person on the TSC Board of Trustees who will pander to their interests.  

Carlos Marin,  Not Totally Avoiding the Camera

Marin, always elusive, has recently turned camera shy, turning his face from a photographer at a public meeting and running, when he recognized a political operative in line at Whataburger.

Marin's and Hernandez's last standing candidate is Evelyn Cantu, running against Dr. Tony Zavaleta, a man with 40 years of TSC experience, reportedly not a totally likeable guy, but, nonetheless, not a puppet.

So far, Brownsville voters have totally rejected the monetary influence and other pressures of Mike Hernandez III and Carlos Marin.  It's now time to pitch a shutout, yes boys, 0-6. 

Addendum:  City Commissioner Jessica Tetreau disagrees with the thrust of the article above.  We add her Facebook comment below: 

"Jim, that is completely untrue and fabricated. Evelyn is an independent thinker and not entangled in any conspiracy or organizations. She brings her firsthand experience as an educator and has worked with children and teens firsthand for many years... This is what motivates her to contribute to the TSC board.   

 Evelyn has never even met Mike Hernandez, and I think it's really sad (he) would make false statements about her character."·
