Conflict #2 Richard Garcia as a defense attorney in federal court, and also, Wendy Sturgis former husband as the prosecutor. Richard Garcia did at one time hire Wendy to be the edinburg city manager. Well, her former husband happens to be a federal prosecutor. Did Richard Garcia have to go against Wendy's former husband at anytime, since Wendy was employed by the city of edinburg. Answer: Yes!
Were deals cut? Yes! Was it bias? Yes! Richard only gave Wendy a job. How much bias can you get? As Richard Garcia about to take office. Look for even more corruption to happen within the city.
Conflict #3 Gene Espinoza and Rio Grande Steel. You see Gene is employed by Rio Grande Steel. Does Rio Grande Steel have contracts with the city of edinburg? Answer: Yes! Did Gene vote on his employer for contracts with the city? Answer Yes!
Why do I bring this up? Because it's wrong and illegal. Just because there elections are over, doesn't mean the story goes away.
I'm sure your asking why doesn't the school attorney do or say something? Cause he wants to keep his job. If you were the school attorney would you bring this up? You could, but then be out of a job.
These are only a few of the conflicts I see going on within the city of Edinburg. When you scream loud enough,someone is bound to hear you! And I hope that someone, is none other than the FEDS!
These and other stories I have will not go away. Welcome to the city of edinburg folks. Now, one of the most corrupted cities in texas.
