| Butch Barbosa, Ernie Hernandez, Jr. |
"Most voters are unaware that Butch Barbosa was on Brownsville’s city council from 1989-1992 when he was forced to resign. While on the city council he was one of “The three amigos” as they were referred to along with Ernie Hernandez and Billy the “streaker” Garza .(Billy was called that because at a later date he was arrested by the Brownsville police dept. for running buck naked down a street.). The three of them ruled the city along with mayor Pat Ahumada from 1991-1992 until Butch was forced to resign. Some citizens referred to it as the gang rule . Nothing good happened in this time period and so many people were fed up with what was going on they searched for an excuse to get rid of any of them, until someone discovered that Butch was in violation of the Hatch act which prohibits Federal employees from being elected officials. He was given the choice of resigning from the city council or resigning his job at the Federal court house as a clerk.
Interesting enough the same situation might occur if he is elected to BISD’s school board, because he will be in violation of the state’s 6 month nepotism rule because his cousin Tony Barbosa was hired as a coach for Veterans high school on Aug. 1, 2012. Obviously from his past record he cares nothing about what the law is and will try to get away with it if possible."
Butch Barbosa knows the political ropes. He is Browntown through & through. A lifelong resident always has the upper hand in this damned town, and I say we should look at these locals as being at the corazon of the problem. Butch is the neighborhood horned toad, el sapo, the native weed. You can't really get rid of tough weed, but you can ignore it. Give Barbosa a pass. He is not the answer; he is the problem. I heard from someone who heard it from someone else that he has nothing to offer our children, other than yet another example of a bad choice. He belongs behind the counter at the federal courthouse and nowhere else.
ReplyDeleteHow about behind the counter at a Church's Fried Chicken?
DeleteDid not Charlie, El Big Bully, Atkinson have the same problem by working for ICE and being a city commish?
ReplyDeleteYes! Charlie was in the same situation, but he is not running against Cata; so nobody bothered to bring that out! So who do you want? A blithering idiot, a bumbling idiot, or a guy that chose his job over politics?
ReplyDeleteI'll vote for the viejito!
DeletePuro pedo Jimbo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteVote against any candidate associated with Ernie,Erin and Norma Hernandez. Butch has always been a self centered individual. Ernie has puppets in the city commission,cameron county commission,don't allow him to control the justice of the peace courts and now BISD through his compadre Butch Barbosa.
ReplyDeleteWell lets look at reality. If Butch is connected to Ernie and Ernie and Co. are getting the votes out for Butch, than the only ones that can save Cata is the teachers. And that ain't going to happen! Believe me, it isn't going to happen!
ReplyDeleteI hope that for once the teachers follow through and make a difference and get this evil woman out. NO ONE and I repeat NO ONE could be worse than her; do you want her to be able to continue with her rape and pillage of BISD? And believe me, she is taking names and heads will roll if she is elected. She is vindictive and has no soul. Teachers, please please do this for yourselves, all of BISD and the taxpayers. You have the power; exercise it.
DeleteNo. Your diatribe rings hollow. All you care about is getting that craptard Barbosa in BISD to get your grubby little fingers on the $500,000,000 budget. Vote for Clupper, A REAL Teacher for the Teachers
DeleteAnonymous.... 8:15a
ReplyDeleteThe only evil woman is you..---loser. It's either wightman, zayas or Cortez. Can't get over the asskicking you got....huh?
No, is not Bobby, Zayas, or Cortez, we are hundres of teachers, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, hall monitors, and janitors, who do not believe any more of your lies, or your cronies lies
DeleteGet these four bitches out! Starting with cata. christina, enrique and luci will be next (capital letters are not needed for any of these four)
DeleteThe public is fed up with these pieces of shit. They all need to go.
DeleteI agree. Anyone standing next to this crook Hernandez who owes $800,000 to the IRS, has no business on BISD! They all need to go! We are fed up!
Delete10/24 8:15 am is definitely not Bobbby C-W, Zayas or Cortez - there are alot more people than those three who think you are a piece of trash, low class, no class trash.
DeleteNo, it's not Bobby or Rick or Cortez...it's us...the parents, students, teachers and most administrators who are sick and tired of that ugly cartoon known as Cata...It is all we can do to stop from vomiting whenever she shows up...Please help us get her and her cronies out...our kids deserve better
ReplyDeleteRight, vote for Clupper!
DeleteSay no to this baboso Barbosa, standing next to a tax evader!
Vote against all candidates associated with Ernie,Erin,and Norma Hernandez. This people are just plain evil,they have been raping and pillaging brownsville,cameron county,and now they want to control the justice of the peace courts and they have their eyes on the 500+ million dollars at BISD by implanting Butch Barbosa as their trustee. No No and I repeat don't allow another hernandez cronies get elected. Lets Save BISD from the hernandez,lets not allow Ernie put his hands in our school district cookie jar.
ReplyDeleteThe choice is either Clupper or Cata
DeleteThat picture did it. Barbosa is a joke.
We know it is you and your son that are writting all these negative comments about Catalina Erine, as for not getting the 1500 votes that you have,...well we will see on election night. How can a person that has a history of corruption like yourself be the voice of morality in this race? Your brother in law's county cover up....wrecker contract at city that Butch gave you, vending machines, 800,000 in taxes owed, mail voter fraud...etc...etc...and you want us to head your advice and vote for Butch Barbosa because you are mad that Catalina Presas supported Yolanda Begum? You are delusional Ernie, The mail in ballot has won everyone of your families elections, but the voters will have the last laugh with you and your kind.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what people will say to get Cata re-elected. Clupper is a plant by Cata to split the vote. Why would an idiot (Cata)nod her head in total agreement of what Clupper was saying in a candidates forum? How can you publicly agree with someone that is running against you? Normally it makes no sense. Unless you are selling your opponent to the teachers (who don't vote) and she works her money for votes style of politics to get herself re-elected! Think about it!
ReplyDeleteHow about "None of the Above". Vote out all incumbents and do not vote for anyone with ties to said incumbents or interloper Carlos Quintanilla. The BISD Board needs a major cleansing as it has currently no credibility, period. The board has proven to contain only corrupt manipulator's and spineless members who sat by and watched it all happen while doing absolutely nothing to cry foul, whether locally or at state level, they did NOTHING. Therefore, they all need to go.
ReplyDeleteIt is so tragic, that track records represent people in this city care more about getting their hands on school & administrative funds instead of focusing on the students and providing the best education our tax dollars can buy. Over fourteen million dollars wasted due to the currents board incompetence and power struggles, have an astronomical negative impact to our schools over the next few years, not forgetting the negative impact already affecting our students with higher studentbody numbers per classrooms. This town has more schools than most big cities and yet, we have over crowding. Stop milking the American Tax payer's by allowing students who don't belong in our schools to attend, just so you all can keep a job.
Wow! We sure have it great up here in Los Fresnos.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us use your mall.
That picture is an anti-endorsement
ReplyDeleteHow to scare away honest voters!
You have to wonder why the Browntownies care so little about the education of their children that they will not put honest, capable people on the board of trustees.
ReplyDeleteAnd you wonder why the place is a poor, backwater, has-been?
