Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him.

EDINBURG, Texas—The Edinburg Roadrunners rallied in the bottom of the eighth after trailing by a run to defeat the Laredo Broncos 8-5 Friday night at Edinburg Baseball Stadium.

HARLINGEN – Rio Grande Valley WhiteWings starter Misael DeJesus (1-3) struck out 13 San Angelo Colts in a 9-1 victory Friday at Harlingen Field.

(McALLEN, Texas) – Former County Commissioner Sylvia Sue Handy-Espronceda, 52, was sentenced to prison, fined and ordered to pay restitution to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) by Chief U.S. District Judge Ricardo H. Hinojosa, United States Attorney José Angel Moreno announced today.

They say that the third time is the charm. Her sentencing was postponed 2 previous times recently. La coloreteada got it easy.

It started with his father who did not allow Mexicans into his house. Mexican customers at the Boswell dealership were treated like second rate citizens. Boswell’s legacies are all over San Benito.

Nothing was resolved in last night’s executive session. 
The subject is to be discussed again at the next regular meeting July 21, 2010.

(Washington, D.C) – U.S. Representative Solomon P. Ortiz (D-Texas) announced today an additional $3,871,909 in federal funding awarded to the City of Brownsville’s Urban System (BUS) from the U.S. Department of Transportation for the on-going construction of an intermodal bus terminal. This grant follows a previous award of over $3 million in June 2009.

Armando “El Marisco” Elizarde is a coconut. He thought by performing as the White Establishment’s favorite Mexican he could pocket his pilón.

Boys, this is a lame, lame response by Commissioner Marra. She knew her family responsibilities before she sought the office, did she not? City business taking a backseat to her business dealings? That will never work for the city.

Say what you will, Armando Elizarde deserves no sympathy. Like other developers before him who have tried to strong arm their way into the city, Elizarde’s luck finally ran out. In the past, Elizarde figured he could circumvent city codes and circumstances by kowtowing to the establishment. It worked for sometime. He got a variance in one instance when he built his subdivision on the north side of the loop. City growth plans called for 13th street to continue north. Elizarde was able to finagle a sweetheart deal when he got old guard commissioners to not pursue plans to take 13th street north. Drive 13th St and you will find it ends at the loop. His variance disrupted city plans, and protected his subdivision.

CAMP Mabry, Austin, Texas (9 July, 2010) – The governor authorized Texas Military Forces personnel and equipment to be deployed in support of local and state assets fighting flood waters in South Texas. Thirty ground troops, ten high profile vehicles and two UH-60 aircraft from San Antonio are in Laredo to assist officials along the Rio Grande and near the border.

Pat, I wish I could agree with some of what you posted but all in all HPD needs a major over haul. Ever since the Border Patrol incident, it has been nothing but down hill. There is no direction from the top!

COLLEGE STATION – Twenty-six business people have been chosen for the Texas Agriculture Lifetime Leadership program as Class XII.

Harlingen city Commissioner Kori Marra has missed two very important City Commission meetings this week alone. And if she fails to show on Friday will have missed 2 of 3 very critical budget meetings at a time when Harlingen is facing its worst revenue shortfall in decades, due to dwindling sales tax revenue.
