"United Brownsville, which is funded by public funds, posted an email declaring that "the word Trump just became an insult toward Latinos."
While it did not actively solicit a donation for the Clinton campaign, it crossed into the political activist game. I would just as quickly have written had they besmirched a Democrat candidate.'=
United Brownsville appears to be a political machine by virtue of such action. Unless the city, county and other funding sources approve of using tax dollars for political activism, I suggest they cease and desist in funding United Brownsville.
Shame on so-called "public trust," non-taxed "non-profits" for being political.

Brownsville"
Local bloggers have been sounding the alarm for years about the presumptuous, insidious United Brownsville, an affiliation of pompous, greedy business folk who want to position themselves for profit.
None of Fred Rusteburg, Irv Downing, Carlos Marin or Juliet Garcia were EVER appointed by the City of Brownsville or ELECTED by the voters. Despite being self-appointed, they have duped Texas Southmost College, the Port of Brownsville, the City of Brownsville, P.U.B., B.I.S.D., the GBIC and BCIC to contribute $25,000 to support their club.
Recently, the misguided, uninformed OP.1033 advocacy group has become intertwined with United Brownsville in political intrigue, even adding Carlos Marin to their staff.
Mr. Barton,
ReplyDeletecould you please publish a copy of the email being referred to by Mr. Hudson.

ReplyDeleteIt would be nice if the city of Brownsville started paying for the maintenance for the park in the Hudson development. The (MUD)tax to the home owners was to be for short amount of time and was never completed. Same with the development! It was never completed but now we will add to two more satellite parks and the area The city of Brownsville has not stepped up to the commitment and says it has no money but can support United Brownsville. We need more people to start becoming vocal about the PUB taxes and the way the city of Brownsville and the State never back up contract I sign at closing of my homes and pay for this park!
No mames Bill yur making a shit load of cash off that mud tax I'm sure people are tired of paying
ReplyDeleteHow about the churches that don't pay taxes, yet are fully involved in politics/government? Same pinche bullshit.
ReplyDeleteThe presumption of United Brownsville and the special self-appointees of the Brownsville "Intelligencia" is simple enough: The voters of the town are too dumb to select "appropriate" leadership and those they appoint are too incompetent to be trusted. This is how they see us. The patrons are still in charge.
ReplyDeleteLook at April 3, 8:15, whether you agree with the commentary or not, how's that for an intelligent response from an incompetent ignorant low information Brownsville constituent?
DeleteConservatives have gone from absolute ideological certainty that health-care inflation would rise in the wake of Obamacare to absolute ideological certainty that the drop in health-care inflation has nothing at all to do with Obamacare. It’s obvious that no conceivable data can falsify conservative opposition to Obamacare. The premise that Obamacare has failed is a matter of doctrinal writ, as holy as the sanctity of the great Ronald Reagan. To abandon this position is to abandon conservatism itself. Conservatives can try to redirect their base’s rage toward the construction of an alternative plan to replace Obamacare, but they cannot concede that the law has actually succeeded in advancing its stated goals. Republicans hate Obamacare not for its concrete outcomes but for what it represents to them. If Trump’s campaign has demonstrated anything, it is the hopelessness of crafting technocratic justifications for the pulsating right-wing Id.
