Carlos Masso |
Adjacent to the Carlos Masso tent at Cameron Park was the Abelardo Gomez tent. Longtime politiqueras Margarita Ozuna and Herminia Becerra flitted like queens between the two tents. Later, when Margarita Ozuna was charged with Election Code violations, Carlos Masso would serve as her defense attorney.
A statistical anomaly showing Abelardo Gomez, Carlos Masso and Omar Lucio receiving nearly identical numbers of mail-in votes, despite widely different vote totals, prompted then Election Administrator Roger Ortiz to say: "They must have all used the same poliquera or group of group of politiqueras."
After losing a bitter battle in the Democratic Primary to eventual DA Luis Saenz, Masso returned to the private sector with a close connection to the 8-liner industry. His nephew Rich Masso, along with Attorney Rick Zayas fell prey to Saenz much-publicized "Operation Bishop," a political, as much as law enforcement operation to appease Bishop Daniel Flores, who had complained that 8-liners were depleting the Catholic collection plates in Cameron County.
We stroll down memory lane with pictures from 2012:

Masson is hoping that the elderly and mentally challenged can be enticed to vote for him, while other voters who can think for themselves will support other candidates. Masso is a Dumbokrat in the Gilerto Hinojosa mold..... Who believes in taking advantage of the poor, disabled and elderly to get elected and the use elected office and tax dollars to serve himself. It's sad the way Masso and other Dumbokrats exploit people rather than serve. Notice he and other Dumbokrats don't spend much time trying to inform or convince citizens who can think and might see through his lame bullshit. He's just another lawyer who sees the public tit as an easier way to make a living than working.
ReplyDeleteI think that should be Carlos Masivo, not Masso.
ReplyDeletePinche Mamason is more like it. Birds of a feather and Erasmo nombe Vato
ReplyDeleteBoth candidates for county district attorney are horrible. Corruption is still entrenched at the court house. Saenz won't prosecute public corruption and Masso is a vote stealer with ties to illicit gambling.
ReplyDelete9:15 AM,
ReplyDeleteThere are no good candidates in the DA race.
Voter
Now Zeke is supporting Masso and Erasmo is supporting Saenz
ReplyDeleteCan't believe that Masso, who is employed by the Willacy County Da, is allowed to represent law breakers. How can he be a criminal prosecutor by day and a criminal defense attorney by...day? How can he -- ethically and morally -- take taxpayer money to uphold and enforce the law as a salaried employee of one county while at the same time appearing in another county defending lawbreakers? aside from the morality issue, isn't he stealing money from the county paying his salary? Please tell me Cameron County can muster up two better candidates than the crooks Masso and Saenz.
ReplyDeleteMasso and Saenz sounds like a law firm. They should team up when they both lose. I can see their ads now:
