In the know
Floresville
August 24, 2012 5:37pm
There are a few points I would like to make. 1.All of this would have been avoided if Gomez would have just resigned when he said he would instead of delaying it. He would not have been able to vote on his replacement and Flores was absent. That left only Castillo. Gomez was only concerned about the person that would have replaced him instead of what was best for the city. So he postponed his resignation. Now, because there was no quorom on the 21st and 23rd, it will be up to the citizens of Floresville to vote on his replacement. The Mayor, Gomez, Castillo and Flores are the ones to look bad in all of this. 2.We know that the Mayor has been having mtgs in his home with just enough people not to get into trouble. Castillo has even met with the Mayor in his office hours prior to city council mtgs. This proves the point that much of the business is already taken care of prior to the scheduled mtgs. You can tell also because of the way the mtgs are conducted. The Mayor does now allow Morones and Guerrero much time to speak up and when the votes are taken they go fast. Castillo and Flores don't say much because they already know how they are going to vote. They don't care what the citizens have to say. Therefore, the Mayor is a very controlling person. 3.Flores posted on his facebook page that he would be in CC TX on Thursday. That was a lie. He did show up a few minutes late but you could tell it was all planned. Again, controlling mayor. 4.Gomez posted this on his facebook page that the bloggers on the WCN "they do nothing else but cause controversy and you do nothing but make things easier for my campaign." Yes, there may be some controversy but you are the reason for it, you should have resigned when you said you would. As for making things easier, you are correct. You have made things easier for people NOT TO VOTE FOR YOU. 5. Joslin mentioned Thurs night that the city is now in violation of the City Charter because the budget and tax rate issues have not been resolved. Oh yea? The City Charter has been violated several times because the city attorney is too afraid to speak up. The leave of absence granted to Flores and the hiring of Gloria Martinez were both violations of the City Charter. You have never said anything about that. 6.Finally, the mayor has behaved very badly. His final words thurs night were that we needed to talk to our friends, and that he could not understand what was going on. Really? You have caused this friction and division. If you would stick to the issues of taking care of the city, there would be no problems. You started out so well, but this past year you have really messed up. You will not have a legacy when you leave because we will only remember the end and not the beginning. So before you point the finger at Morones and Guerrero, you need to take a good look at yourself and that of your girlfriend and see what you have done to this town. THE END.
