dinburg has opted for new legal representation, the contract of which will be released this week, according to city officials.
At the City Council meeting on Oct. 6, Mayor Richard Garcia was the first to recommend that the city enter into negotiations with the law firm of Gonzalez and Palacios LLP and the Law Office of Cynthia Contreras Gutierrez for legal representation for the City of Edinburg. The decision now ends current city attorney Ric Gonzalez’s tenure representing the city, but Garcia hinted at employing Gonzalez later for legal issues regarding property and closings.
How can the city attorney prosecute people in the muncipal court when the judge and the city attorney are uncle and nephew?
Another conflice would be Richard Garcia hiring then city manager Wendy Sturgis. Wendy's former husband is a federal prosecutor and had Richard Garcia as opposing council many times.
Lots of Rats in Edinburg. I just hope the FEDS and the Judicial Committee in Austin can come down and raise HELL!
