La Casa to Nowhere~Tony Martinez $2,300,000 Boondoggle

Purchased by Tony Martinez and the City Commission for $2.3 million taxpayer dollars from Abraham Galonsky over a year ago, La Casa del Nylon still sits idle, decaying, broken windows, with a homeless couple living under the Adams St. awning.

  1. "The House that Tony Bought".......just another failure of 'Da Mayor and his band of egos and self-serving autocrats. Has Tony done anything good or positive for the city???????????????

  5. Before this is over they are going to have to change the name to "La Casa del Pile-On". The feds must be backed up to Falfurrias trying to get down here. Talk about a slam-dunk, dream case.

  6. I hear House Hunters International is doing a special program on what 2.3 million buys you on the border, a spacious, airy, warehouse, homeless shelter!!! With tropical landscaping and ample street parking for 75 cents an hour!!! That's if Space-Ex doesn't buy it first at the tax lien auction for $2,000.

  7. The school-to-prison pipeline, to my mind, is the most insidious arm of this country’s prison-industrial complex. Under the guise of protecting our children, we push many of them out of school and into prisons, limit their opportunities, fail to and/or undereducate them, all while feeding our addiction to mass incarceration and retribution that is not justice at all. That the students who find themselves funneled into the school-to-prison pipeline are predominantly black is further proof that the United States system of racist oppression chugs along through the rhetoric of colorblindness.

    Now that we have the niceties out of the way, let’s talk about what really makes the school-to-prison pipeline the worst.

    Henry Giroux on the School-to-Prison Pipeline
    A study conducted by US Department of Education Office for Civil Rights shows that black preschoolers (yes, four and five year olds) make up almost half of all out-of-school suspensions for preschoolers. What any preschool student has to do in order to be suspended is beyond me. That said, black students are receiving the message — at younger and younger ages — that their behavior will be regarded differently, as inherently more disruptive and therefore more deserving of punishment. They are being denied the right to their formative years of education and socialization. And then we wonder why there is an “education gap.”
