NHPO Debate...Facts? What Facts?

It seemed to be business as usual for the J.D. Salinas camp tonight at a debate sponsored by the National Hispanic Professionals Organizations, and moderated by the local CBS affiliate KGBT Channel 4. When the question of negative campaigns in the Valley came up, Ramon Garcia expressed his discontent with the notion that J.D. Salinas is doing nothing more than spreading misinformation in his campaign ads against Ramon Garcia. Mr. Salinas reiterated that the campaign ads he is running are based on "facts and truths". What I found surprising was J.D. Salinas' selective process of acknowledging what is fact and what isn't. On the one hand, he would have us believe that the now infamous $6 million in indigent health care funds were a direct result of the County Judge's ineptitude. On the other hand, the fact that the county is in the best financial state in it's history has nothing to do with the County Judge. Well, which is it? I'm confused. Just what is the role of the County Judge? Are we electing someone who will do his best for the citizens of the county, or are we electing someone who will do what is best for the citizens who loaned him in excess of half a million dollars in campaign contributions as an investment in "his future", as Mr. Salinas stated tonight? His future, not ours. Think about it. More on the $6 million dollar saga as the information comes in. I've made contact, the details just need to be sorted out.
