District 39...Oh what a tangled web we weave

When we last left our District 39 race, it was dirty politics, and back door deals when the Democratic Chairman Juan Maldonado kicked Jessica Reyes-Martinez off the ballot because of a discrepancy in her application. But, according to NewsChannel Five this evening, "more than 10 different applications had some sort of mistake." When asked about the discrepancies, Mr. Maldonado is quoted a saying, "It's not my job to review them at all." Well, yeah, maybe, but Mr. Chairman should keep in mind that when he tries to BS a BS'er, the shit better stick. I hope Jessica Reyes-Martinez can find a way to get on the ballot somehow. Court order, special-circumstances, etc. Hell, exhaust all possible means necessary to show the people of the RGV exactly what our "elected" officials really think about us when it comes to insulting our intelligence. We've got to wake up, people, these "discrepancies" are only the tip of the iceberg in South Texas. If you'd like to see the full report as presented by NewsChannel Five, log on to http://krgv.com/
