| Former Port Director Eduardo Campirano with Brownsville Observer editor on 90 minute boat tour of the Port of Brownsville |
I'm not certain even Rose Timmer of Redfish Recycling would approve of former Port of Brownsville Director Eduardo Campirano regurgitating himself to run for commissioner of the very same Port of Brownsville.
Why would the old fart, longtime port director, now want to be one of the commissioners? Is the port that lucrative for the decision-makers?
Actually, Brownsville and Cameron County have a shitpot full of "public servants" already. No need to recycle old, tired ones like former Port Director Eduardo Campirano.
The instant Campirano and two other port officials chowed down on that $1,800 taxpayer-subsidized meal in Shanghai, China, they disqualified themselves as stewards of public money and interests.
It bears mentioning that the Port of Brownsville threesome did not choke on that extravagant meal or lose sleep over the expensive burden to the country's poorest taxpayers, but simply defecated that grub, then went back the next day for $1,600 more of the pricey fare, inviting the BEDC's Jason Hilts to share in the gluttony.
Not surprisingly, the Port of Brownsville, an entity that should be self-supporting with proper leadership, continues to rely on millions of dollars of locally-generated taxpayer monies to continue operation.
You may also recall that Camparino was totally in favor of the LNG plants now operating in our area, while ignorantly minimizing the ecological dangers to our region.
"LNG is the liquefied form of the natural gas that people use in their homes for cooking and heating, and has been safely handled for many years." (Eduardo Camparino, Letter to the Editor, Brownsville Herald, 10/5/2015.)
Yes, doofus, but LNG plants do not simply burn natural gas like grandma heating tortillas on her two burner range!
The purpose of an LNG plant is to condense natural gas into a liquid 1/600th of its normal displacement so it can be shipped economically.
That process, extremely complex, requires an ENORMOUS amount of energy and releases hydrocarbons, mercury, hydrogen sulfide and other contaminants into the atmosphere.
Millions of gallons of hot effluent must also be disposed daily, likely in our case, into the pristine estuaries and bird sanctuaries of eastern Cameron County.
No thanks to recycling Eduardo Camparino back to a leadership role at the Port of Brownsville!
This is typical of a retired ceo… to run for office for revenge purposes… somebody gave him a hard time during his tenure and now it’s his turn to throw stones
ReplyDelete"Somebody gave him a hard time during his tenure and now it's his turn to throw stones." . . . . . . Steve Guerra?
DeleteYou are right about Steve Guerra but he has a partner on the board that forced Campirano and chief Garcia out. It is Tito Lopez. They are the ones orchestrating the port elections. They are supporting Ernie Lopez to be a vote they can count on to make Dietrich a permanent replacement as port director. Dietrich is dating Steve Guerra’s niece and they want him there to do as they tell him. Tito and Steve are the evil force behind the port of Brownsville.
DeleteCampirano just wants his pound of flesh for being forced to resign by Steve (paguen me pisΓ³) Guerra . What could he possibly be offering to better the port than what he could have done while director?! He was an over-paid ass kisser that was put to pasture and he still wants to suck on the public utter. That goes for Carlos Garcia also…. Why does he all of a sudden want to run for anything?! He was also forced to retire by, you guessed it, Steve Guerra to make way for his nephew in law Dietrich. Keep scratching Jimbo, you are getting warm. And by the way, ask for Campirano’s travel and meal info while he was at port…. Could have fed all kids in Africa with the total sum….. just saying
ReplyDeletetwo old farts
ReplyDeleteJuan is hiding an illegal alien in his house… his wife
ReplyDeleteEddie was another of Juliet’s puppet… bought his vote by giving his daughter a nice administrative job… of which she holds today at Utrgv in Edinburg… she did the same for David “the coconut “ Oliveira
ReplyDeleteDon't forget Ralph Cowen was on that taxpayer ripoff junket to China too. The Port of Brownsville, supposedly so profitable continues to be subsidized by the taxpayers. Let's cut the umbilical cord and let it function on its own. Let those guys or the companies supplementing their income pay for those $1800 meals!
ReplyDeleteThe Guerra guy on the board has taken advantage of the free meals…a big fat pig on route to a fatal heart attack
ReplyDeleteIt's way past time for the Port of Brownsville to operate on its own merit without subsidy from local government.
ReplyDeleteIt is obvious that if norma (dog face) Harris gets elected… she will automatically will be come Adelas puppet… Adela broke up a marriage to be where she is today… she came from the ghettos of Laredo n now she thinks her gases don’t smell… Adela , the FBI is still listening to you
