 Let me ask you one question

Is your money that good?

"Will it buy you forgiveness

Do you think that it could?

I think you will find

When your death takes its toll

All the money you made

Will never buy back your soul"

Bob Dylan


It's been a rough couple of months for blogger-for-hire, Juan Montoya of El Rrun Rrun, repeatedly pandering to the whims and wishes of the power-hungry TSC Board Chair Adela Garza, who is hell-bent on gaining control of the TSC Board of Trustees by replacing accomplished trustees Eva Alejandro and J.J. De Leon with newbies.

It has to tear at Montoya's journalistic soul, when he has to write what paying customers pay him to write, whether true or false, factual or embellished.

In recent days, Montoya, likely with crossed fingers behind his back, has been promoting Garza puppet Edward Camarillo as the champion who will guide TSC "back to its former greatness."

Is that the same Edward Camarillo, who, along with two siblings, presided over the demise of Incarnate Word Academy, an institution serving the community for 175 years?

"Former greatness?"  WTH?

Are no good things being currently accomplished at TSC?

What about the recent 6% raise for TSC employees, coupled with a reduction in tuition rates or the record-breaking surge in enrollment or the infusion of $20M to ITEC for Texas Workforce Labs?

Does TSC's receipt of the Star Award mean nothing, Juan, or finally getting accreditation in 2023?

Now, dual enrollment has played a role in these successes with BISD students making up roughly 50% on enrollment currently.

But, if Adela Garza gets her wish and Eva Alejandro, with 53 years experience in education and J.J. De Leon, with 30 years at BISD and 6 years as TSC Trustee, are both replaced by far-less experienced puppet candidates, how does that contribute to "greatness?"

Adela Garza~Julieta V. Garcia

Many in our community still remember the despotic leadership of former UT-Brownsville President Julieta V. Garcia.

Well, over the years, Adela Garza has morphed into Julieta V. Garcia, craving power at the expense of real leadership.  That transformation has not been pretty.

  1. Jim, McHale does much the same thing. He recently posted a censored form of your article, omitting comments about candidates he gets paid to support.
