Don't Feel Sorry for Pete Sepulveda!

Pete Sepulveda
Pete Sepulveda didn't just fall off a turnip truck.  As Executive Director of the Regional Mobility Authority for Cameron County, he's been handsomely paid to supervise and monitor the precise spending of over $2 Billion in local transportation projects including international bridges.

 Repeatedly, he's had to dot I's and cross t's in difficult binational projects, involving government funding, regulations, permits and bureaucratic red tape.
Freddie Gomez Road(Before Paving)
To hear that Ol' Pete, during his tenure as interim Cameron County Judge, out of the goodness of his heart, paved Freddie Gomez Road with county supplies, labor and money, so some po' folks could get to Highway 281 without getting stuck in the mud, is ludicrous.  Pete knows, if ANYONE knows, things don't work that way legally.

 The use of county funds, materials and labor has to be approved by the County Commissioners Court.  Otherwise, it's stealing.

 On December 21, 2016, Sepulveda was indicted on "abuse of official capacity, misapplication of fiduciary property and theft by a public servant."

 Don't feel sorry for Pete.  If he's stealing county resources, it's not to help poor people.  He's playing politics with our money and we don't like it.

    Residents paid their taxes for years, applied for assistance, and nothing. Where were the county comish? Too poor to be heard, I guess. If they had approved their request, no problem. Shows how poorly CC is run.

      Then feel free to pay for the equipment, materials and labor. You can then say you did an unselfish act with your own money.

      So what? You want your driveway paved on our dime too? You know what it costs honest people just to pave a driveway and how they have to save up or finance an improvement to their property like that?

      This person's property value upon sale goes up....but I'll bet you his/her appraisal value for taxation won't. But honest people will always get the shaft while rats don't mention this person getting a personal and private benefit.

    WRONG! Private property means the property owner is responsible. How would you feel if I owned 30 acres, purposely set mobile homes up OUTSIDE of city limits to avoid taxes, and then made taxpayers PAY for something I profit off of. The seriousness of this needs to be emphasized. This is equivalent to building a pool in a private home so a family can enjoy it. Let's all be real about how much taxes this woman paid versus what she collected from her tenants. Pete Sepulveda knows fully well what these people were being charged for rent.

    Why isn't anybody saying anything about the person who pushed for that road to be paid for by the rest of us time after time? He or she knew it was a private road and one has to wonder what he/she did to entice them to have what is basically a big ass driveway to be paid. That person wouldn't take no for an answer and knew it was wrong too.

    thst person was told no before. That person felt entitled, so what gives?
