As I sit here and reflect about this presidential race. One thing comes to mind. When I was at one of our local cafes having coffee and talking to an 85 year old man. He was explaining how his budget was tight. But he did find a way to give $50.00every month to what he calls HOPE!
I really didn't understand what he meant by that. Until he told me that his HOPE payment every month was a monthly payment to Barack Obama's campaign. As I watch people on television waiting over 10 hours to cast there vote. I tell myself that this is more than just another presidential race. This is a movement!
You got young, old, black, white, Hispanic, democrats, republicans, independents coming together to elect this man. As your getting out of work tomorrow and your tired and just want to go home. But you have yet to cast your vote. Just think about the people waiting in lines over 10 hours long.
Local Races
From purchase orders, to NES, to police reports what a school board race. And I can honestly tell my viewers that I never lied about Carmen Gonzalez. With the little that I know about ECISD's finances I am a bit concern. There are way to many cracks in the system for taxpayer money to be spent foolishly. I still don't understand how NES got to be a secondary vendor to the district. Why no bidding process?
The bond committee is a complete joke. They hired a firm for $3.1 million dollars to over look the $112 million dollars the voters approved on the bond election. And they say that there going to save us money? Yeah right! Then I sit here and watch these people one by one go to the podium and say how they are up front with the taxpayers. That's a lie! Did you know that a firm was hired for $3.1 million dollars? Didn't think so! And if you did it's cause we have already discussed that in an earlier post.
I just think that Carmen and her bond committee is a complete joke. How can you be fair when your treasurer sits on the bond committee? You can't!
How can you justify that Carmen voted for her employer while on the board? You can't! How can you justify this family violence thing? You can't! How can you justify Gladdis Ortega getting this new bogus position that was created for her? You can't! Hell with over 20 applicants I told all of you that she was going to get the job before it was announced!
I am very concerned the way things are run over at ECISD!
As for Ciro Trevino and Carlos Ramos? Ciro hasn't done a thing on the campaign trail. And Carlos has been walking every single day talking to voters. This is a toss up! Can go either way!
As for the district judge's race? The only thing that is going to save Jesse Contreras is the democratic palanca lever.
Villalobos ran a terrible campaign against Veronica Gonzales. You got to give the voter a reason to elect you. Villalobos has not done that.
So to all United States taxpayers! Don't forget to vote!
