CARLOS RIOS OFFERS YOUTHFUL ENTHUSIASM TO TEXAS SOUTHMOST COLLEGE BOARD


"If a dog's gonna bite, he'll do it as a pup!"
(Legendary Texas Coach Darrell Royal)

Jim Barton,  Carlos Rios
24 year old Carlos Rios is a mere pup in terms of running for office.  Rios readily admits to a learning curve if elected as a Texas Southmost College trustee in Place 6.

"I certainly don't know everything," he admitted to an audience at The Dive Bar, a lively new hangout just off Pablo Kisel Blvd. in Brownsville.

"Not all local students will become doctors or lawyers," Rios continued.  

"Many want to work with their hands making vocational training very important."

Attorney Jerry Danache & The Dive Bar crowd
In contrast to Rios' vigorous youth, incumbent Reynaldo Garcia is 78 and somewhat of a roadblock to TSC gracefully transitioning from the ill-suited Dr. Lily Tercero as president to Dr. Jesus Roberto Rodriguez.

The sentiment exists that replacing Reynaldo Garcia with Rios makes possible a progressive board majority.

J.J. De Leon, Jr. is yet a third candidate for Place 6.

  2. Appreciating the time and effort you put into
    your blog and detailed information you provide.
    It's great to come across a blog every once in a while that isn't the same outdated rehashed material.
    Wonderful read! I've saved your site and I'm including your RSS feeds

  3. I would agree with you Jim except Dr. Garcia knows the difference between 401K and a non for profit 501C. While it may be a small detail to you, maybe even an oversight, it makes a hell of a difference to the tax payers who pay for the existence of TSC. My vote is for experience and not for some youthful want-to-be who thinks photo ops and handshakes make for qualifications.
