| Martinez Wants to Continue Riding Roughshod over the City of Brownsville |
In a town where almost no one votes, Martinez can get the needed plurality with a couple hundred chicken plates and a secret weapon he announced to those standing just outside Lola's Bake Shop at a 2011 pachanga: "If you liked the chicken plates, things get even better at our next pachanga. We will be serving carne guisada." At that very moment Tony's four opponents had their asses whipped.
The Montoya article hinted that the ill-mannered Sylvia Garza-Perez was hitting up well-healed Brownsville Hindus for Tony Martinez 2015 campaign contributions, likely not revealing how many cows had to be killed for a carne guisada pachanga.
The public service of Tony Martinez and Sylvia Garza-Perez have been eerily similar. Sylvia bailed out halfway through her term as County Democratic Chair, leaving the local party with only a third of the precincts having chairs, unpaid bills and a secure padlock on the office rented for party meetings do to nonpayment of rent.
Precious, irreplaceable taxpayer assets like Lincoln Park have been offered up like gift offerings to curry some sort of favor with one of the world's richest university systems, the University of Texas.
Even windfalls like the AEP Texas Settlement Fund, worth $3,060,000, have been dipped into by Martinez without taxpayer or City Commission consent for his pet projects until his wrists were finally slapped by a couple young city commissioners.
About to hit the City of Brownsville like a huge asteroid is the settlement of a lawsuit by the city's fire fighters and paramedics. Following the foolish "hardball" approach recommended by labor Attorney Ricardo Navarro, the city lost the court case, then the appeal. Interest and penalties now approach several millions of dollars. Very dumb move by the city, especially considering the union offered to settle for LESS than their contract called for several years ago.
No, Juan's report did not make our day. The only thing possibly worse than a term of Tony Martinez as Mayor of Brownsville would be two terms.
If Brownsville voters are ignorant enough to re-elect this Mayor by voting for or not exercising their right to vote, then they deserve to get screwed for the little they are worth.
ReplyDeleteWell said
DeleteTime to get rid of Tony "DIRTY DEALS" Martinez!
DeleteBlah!! I'm not voting.
ReplyDeleteYou as a non voter are a huge part of the problem. With 6 percent of registered voters voting in an election it is no wonder why a few well spent dollars can buy the election from the small pool of voters.
DeleteThere is the local Blogosphere and then there is the Real World. These blogs are really useless.
ReplyDeleteStarting to see what you';re saying.
DeleteWell doesn't that just make you want to puke!!! Wake up Brownsville, you're being raped and pillaged by your elected officials and the rich people who know how to buy city officials. How much longer are you all going to take it up the ass without crying foul and making changes in the decision makers! So disgusting!!!
ReplyDeleteSCampaign office will be located at the former La Casablanca de Nylon. Juliet Garcia,Carlos Marin,Rose "Ugh!" Gown,David Betancourt,and the usual gang -Treasurers.
ReplyDeleteA strong candidate needs to oppose Martinez! Martinez needs to be ousted…just say NO TO MARTINEZ.
ReplyDeleteYes, there are many ignorant voters in Brownsville who will be swayed by a fajita plate or any kind of free meal. As long as no one touches or threatens their welfare checks and other entitlements, then they will remain unattached, ignorant and can easily be led by any pied piper.
ReplyDeleteWow. Talk about a magnificent time for a well marketed "Voter Drive" if there ever was one. Wake up and smell the frijoles people. If ever there was a time to vote your displeasure, it will be then. If you don't want to get off your lazy ass and vote, then bend over, grab your ankles and enjoy the pounding, because you deserve what you get.
ReplyDeleteLets not do this again. Say NO to a man who can't even wear a shirt and tie to most events. Jeans and a hiking vest? Get some class Mr. Martinez
No dear readers, there is something not worst but just as bad, Ernie Hernandez y planing to run for mayor as well as pat ahumada and William garza, we really are in the dumps with these choices, is there a strong HONEST woman that can beat these losers?
ReplyDeleteThe only players in politics are those that are screwing the people. The "people" are saps that don't even know what is being said here. Look how long it took for them to figure out the rate increase. That's why it was done in increments. Here's a tutorial PEOPLE. Eat their fajitas; drink the beer and then feel all warm and fuzzy inside about them. Then F..k them at the polls, because sure as sh..t they're planning to do it to you!
