The Cameron County Court's annex building is also somewhat of a shrine, honoring the lengthy, but undistinguished service of outgoing District Clerk Aurora de la Garza and County Clerk Joe Rivera, not only with their names on the building but an extravagant $2,500 portrait of the pair hanging inside.
You may recall that the portraits were allegedly ordered by Rivera, who despite his 36 years in county government, forgot to get a purchase order. When a fuss was raised about the cost of immortalizing the duo behind glass, a friend of Aurora, Dr. Robert
What we have learned, though, is that Dr. Robles' nephew now works at the San Benito District Clerk's office from where he occasionally can check on both of the pricey portraits. So, at least in terms of this young man's career, the portrait fiasco had a happy ending.
oh please.... stop it! You are losing sight of your gift. The innuendo is without merit.
ReplyDeleteJoe Rivera's way of saying thank you to Dr. Robles for the fundraising efforts. It was his nephew though Jim...and Rivera hired him to work for the District Clerk's office in San Benito.

ReplyDeleteWhere is the pubic RAGE??? A public servant making a huge salary and then have such huge egos that they insist on having the County waste money to name a building after them?? OUTRAGEOUS, and STUPID!
ReplyDeleteThe County Commission should be ashamed of themselves! I hope Rivera and Del La Garza get indicted...then we'll see how these goof balls vote! They should all be horse-whipped!
The outrage is that you stupid low information voters keep voting for mamones democRATAS.
