Several months ago after I found out the the El Paso Times would only publish one letter to the editor per month, I thought a Blog would be the answer. I contacted Brutus by Email since he carefully protects his identity from the public. He is only an Email address to me. Well in either case, he toldme there should be no difficulty obtaining subjects to write about with the goings on of our local governments; County, city and the school districts. He pointed out the indictments and convictionsrecords which make Chicago and Philadelphia look like playgrounds. As you will notice he seems to never run out of material.
This morning while I was having my “Tall Blond” at Starbucks ( that a type of coffees for u tea drinkers), perusing the El Paso Times and the INC, I noticed on every page there was a tidbits of pure entertainment . Some of the city council members are trying to change the FOIA stating the the State law is not Clear enough. Then You say to yourself, why now, why bring this up. You can’t help but think they have something to hide. In the same article, one finds out they (the City Council) are suing the Attorney General of Texas because he asked them to release personal information in Emails sent toa private electronic address pertaining to the new Stadium and the Triple A Ball team. Who needs a private (secret) Email address besides Brutus.
Ortega shouts it violates, his 1st and 4th. amendments rights. He should have included 5th.
Ann Lilly wants her privacy. Has she ever made a motion? Is she awake?
Niland says she wants more transparency. (Boy, did she and Joyce get burned when their Emails came out, e.g. crazies etc. Is she kidding?).
Suzie wanted more Bike paths.
The editorial addresses the demolition of the city hall and the uselessness of the May vote for demolition. Sounds like they are afraid of moving back to that white elephant downtown.
On the other hand. I did enjoy the Trish Longs article about the closing of the Red light district by a Mayor of yesteryear. That was a real Mayor. No Guitar stuff, no off key singing, no catering.
He didn’t use a secret address. Just Sent the Po– lice and got it done. Forget about your amendments bike paths.
According to the article, the former Red light area is vacant. A perfect place for a new City Hall?
After all that , I.m convinved Trich Long should be on the Editorial Staff. Et Tu, Brute?
