FORMER MAYOR PAT AHUMADA HOLDS UNIQUE POLITICAL EVENT AT LA HACIENDA RESTAURANT

"It was very different from the normal Cobbleheads event," I told Pat Ahumada after his meet and greet at La Hacienda Restaurant at 2200 Boca Chica Blvd.

My comment was no reflection on Joe Kinney's mainstay venue of Brownsville political events, just noting a style and substance upgrade from the norm.

Two photogenic Montanaro siblings, Realtor/Campaign Manager Ray and his sister, attorney Aida Montanaro-Flores, each made a  credible case for putting the former mayor back on the commission.

Ahumada's prepared remarks were lengthy, but substantive, touching on his rationale for the plastic bag ban, his advocacy for an animal "no-kill shelter," setting up committees to monitor lighting and pothole repair needs, eliminating property evaluation inequities.

Several politicos, including mayoral candidate Trey Mendez, Mayor Tony Martinez, District 1 candidate Nurith Galonsky, At Large "A" candidates Carlos Guerrero and John Cowen were in attendance,  noticeably welcomed by Ahumada.

Mayor Martinez and blogger/podcaster Erasmo Castro sported unique Charros Day vests as pictured below:

    3. Yes he did deposit a check that wasn't his. So if he ever walks into the room make sure you hide your checkbook.

  5. Cohen put Donald Trump squarely at the middle of the harebrained scheme to hide hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels. He corroborated that tale with checks from Trump and from the Trump organization. The odd and haphazard way Trump reimbursed Cohen helps make the case that Trump knew the entire ruse breached campaign finance laws—if not clearly enough for a federal jury, at least enough for a House Committee on Impeachment. Cohen offered enough specific examples of Trump Organization financial skulduggery to launch a thousand subpoenas. He confirmed that Trump’s lawyers knew about, and even edited, Cohen’s prior false statements to Congress, suggesting a possible conspiracy to obstruct justice and lie to Congress.
