| Court Administrator Roberto Baez |
Seemingly, Baez, along with City Secretary Michael Lopez, had been trying to sneak the administrative changes past Municipal Judge Ben Neece, waiting until the judge left town on vacation.
"When the cat's away, the mice will play!"
As soon as Neece retired at the end of 2017, overpaid City Manager Charlie Cabler gave Baez his old job back.
Quotes attributed to Mr. Baez in a March 6, 2017 Brownsville Herald reporting about Brownsville's pet microchip ordinance seem to indicate the court administrator may yet again be getting too big for his britches, usurping the roles of judge, animal control officer and city attorney.
Here is part of the Herald article:
"People who violate the ordinance will be cited and required to appear in court. At the Brownsville Municipal Court,officials will ask the pet owner to come back with proof that they have microchipped their pet.
Municipal Court Administrator Roberto Baez said the court will work with the pet owner to comply with the ordinance, but after several times the pet owner does not comply, the court will issue a $250 fine as a last resort."
If these comments, asserted to be from Baez, are accurate, Court Administrator Baez is attempting to usurp the authority of the municipal judge, who ALONE can assess fines or even apply leniency.
Can a Brownsville citizen, brought into court on a pet microchip violation, present as a defense, Court Administrator Baez's promise that only after several(3 or more) violations can he expect to be fined? Will Baez "throw out" any fines imposed by a municipal judge on only the first or second violation?
Or do you feel Administrator Baez should stick to planning court schedules and stay out of the business of deciding punishment, fines or offering leniency to alleged offenders?

Baez should probably be allowed to leave the employ of the citytaxpayers and go into a business of his own. Perhaps he could set up and be the judge of a Kangaroo Court.

ReplyDeleteWhat do you expect from a Mexican national?
ReplyDelete"Will Baez "throw out" any fines imposed by a municipal judge on only the first or second violation?"
ReplyDeleteAccording to the local paper of record, he, and ostensibly he alone through his most infinite power as administrator of municipal justice, will throw out the third violation too.
Exhibit A is as follows "but after SEVERAL times the pet owner does not comply, the court will issue a $250 fine as a LAST RESORT."
You're the fucker who always praises "skill set"!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWho leaked this - Tad Hasse? of course.
ReplyDeleteThe Brownsville Herald
Deletehow many family members of ricardo longoria are on taxpayer payroll?
ReplyDeleteWho leaked this? Can that pendejo fucking read?
ReplyDeleteIt's in the post that this came from the Herald. Do you know what a leak is, mamon?
who leaked it "to the Herald," moron? get that tube sock out of your ass!
Delete"who leaked it "to the Herald," moron? get that tube sock out of your ass!"
DeleteThis may be largely a reading comprehension issue. The Herald's report is based on a conversation with animal shelter supervisor, Nellie Zamora, and Municipal Court Administrator Roberto Baez.
That constitutes an interview, not a "leak."
"how many family members of ricardo longoria are on taxpayer payroll?"
ReplyDeleteIs "Judge" Baez related?
Logorias ex wife was hired and cannot speak very good English.
ReplyDeletevillarreal and longoria seem joto! a vote for ben is a vote to make brownsville straight again.
Delete"who leaked it "to the Herald," moron? get that tube sock out of your ass!"
ReplyDeleteHey ignorant puto! Tad didn't get a fucking machine, force himself to look like the fat Mexican troll with fur on his double chin, and score a Herald interview.
Fuck! Do you know how fucking dumb you sound?
It's not Tad or anyone else's fault but Baez the Panzรณn Troll's fault that he's the butt of jokes today at city plaza and especially the second floor of city hall.
Does Judge Baez keep an extra large but petite length black robe in his tiny closet and wears them secretly when no one is looking?
ReplyDeleteIs it possible Baez was given a special directive from the city manager to do this?
ReplyDelete"Judge" Baez is not a U.S. citizen, but a Mexican National, here on a work permit. Only in Brownsville!
ReplyDeleteGet rid of all those fkers in city and county they cant even speakit the englich correctly drain the swamp
Delete"Is it possible Baez was given a special directive from the city manager to do this?"
ReplyDeleteThe City Manager supports the law passed by the commission and its full enforcement. How dare you insinuate he doesn't by connecting him to Judge Baez.
Charlie Cabler doesn't know shit. He's an ex-cop pretending to manage Brownsville. He's nearly as clueless as Baez.
DeleteLeave Cabler out of this
ReplyDeleteNeece hired this guy. Nuff said.
ReplyDeleteIf he throws out a fine or punishment, I assume Justice Baez would be acting in his capacity as Court of Appeals Justice. It's all perfectly explainable, Jim. I don't know why you're making such a big deal of something so minor as a Mexican administrating justice as he sees fit in the United States.
ReplyDeleteDid Baez get permission from the public information officer to talk to the media?
ReplyDelete"Did Baez get permission from the public information officer to talk to the media?"
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought. How could anyone let this guy talk to the media?
Button up your purple Mervyn shirt.
ReplyDeleteSeveral is not "3 or more." Few is three,

Why should Cabler be kept out of this when he hired Baez?
ReplyDeleteNeece didn't hire Baez, John. Cabler and Human Resources shoved that Mexican in Municipal Court.
ReplyDeleteStop trying to blame Neece for this shit, Villarreal. It isn't going to work.
Thank you, Tad Hasse. You seem to know too much to be innocent, dude.
