From the editor:  We received the extensive comment below critical of City Commissioner candidate and former Commissioner Roy De Los Santos.  

We're not vouching for the comment's accuracy.  It may very well be political hyperbole from the camp of an opponent and we'll certainly publish Roy's response if he extends one.  

Former Commissioner and Commissioner Candidate Roy De Los Santos

What has Roy done as a city commissioner? Nothing really, he’s networked extensively, he’s taken money from vendors like no tomorrow especially from Prime powers, his cash cow, he plays Luis Villareal like a fool. 

This is why he voted against campaign finance reform to improve transparency, to keep the money flowing into his pockets from vendors.

He has no job at the moment and is unemployed with the city being his only pay-day along with cashing in from the special interest and having FREE dinners with Yvonne Barraza’s at Toscafino’s. 

Currently Bryan and Roy are the only two commissioners unemployed and not seeking jobs, I wonder why, oh ya they got special interest and vendor cash flowing. 

Along with that he continues to verbalize he will get rid of term limits imposing a position that he wants to remain in power and keep an old guard in control continuously. Adding to that, he is romantically engaged with another commissioner, Bryan from district 1, they hide it and lie about it but it’s so obvious, talk about a conflict of interest, he’s talking about a majority vote when he’s a guy who for the last two years has been voting with 2 votes every time. 

Let’s not forget about your ethics violation, sitting on several different boards and attempting to acquire your boards with financial means from the city, come on Roy you have yourself on that one. You got caught and they reprimanded you, you did not like that but you deserved it. 

Your governing style is total control and that does not work around here nor anywhere. Roy you have been my friend for years but look at yourself and ask yourself what have you become, just another power hungry politician that needs to get over himself.
