One of the multitudinous topics surfacing during this Sunday's Whine and Cheez podcast is Mayor Tony Martinez' thinly disguised campaign event, "State of the City," totally using city resources.
Both Jessica Puente-Bradshaw and Carlos Guerrero, candidates for City Commissioner At Large "A," saw through the mayor's phony scam.
"If you hold a "State of the City" event," stated Puente-Bradshaw, "you do it AFTER the election, not before."
Whine and Cheez podcast moderator Erasmo Castro was equally disturbed with the fact that the first 2 or 3 "State of the City" events charged "$50 a pop," limiting attendance to Brownsville's wealthy elite.
"I'm not paying $50 to hear ANY politician talk," commented Castro.

"Thank you, Mayor Martinez for allowing us taxpayers to subsidize your "free" campaign event!"

Duardo says you're being replaced Jim on the podcast
ReplyDeleteDuardo is not relevant in Brownsville or anywhere else since that overweight nurse dumped him in Kyle, Texas. His envy and jealousy over this blog is getting tiresome.
DeleteMy question for Jessica is why is it that we never see her around town ? Why is it that she only appears when she is running for something? It’s a bit strange that no one ever sees her at any church or events or grocery stores around our city. Only when she is campaigning.
ReplyDeleteGo to sleep Adela.
DeleteAww, poor WohMan! Did we hit a nerve? Sounds like Jessica’s still living in Austin. Tsk tsk tsk, too cheap to rent a studio apartment here.
DeleteSwing and miss. Sawwee 3:46, you got the wrong anony. Adela lives in Olmito. She doesn’t vote in Brownsville. Her opinion on Brownsville matters squat.
DeleteLOL, do you see Rose the witch bicycle doing anything around town. Not in district 1,2,3,4,. How about the mayor, check the bars down town. All the commissioners don't give a damn. Open your eye fool.
DeleteQuit being so petty, Roman. Adela’s not the reason you’re a failure, grow up.
DeleteTony Martinez using his office for personal enrichment. . . what else is new?
ReplyDeleteAmericans are entitled to consider carefully whom they will number among themselves. They would be irresponsible not to consider this carefully—because all of these expensive commitments must be built on a deep agreement that all who live inside the borders of the United States count as “ourselves.” The years of slow immigration, 1915 to 1975, were also years in which the United States became a more cohesive nation: the years of the civil-rights revolution, the building of a mass middle class, the construction of a national social-insurance system, the projection of U.S. power in two world wars. As immigration has accelerated, the country seems to have splintered apart.
