Welcome back. We all missed your reporting.
Whatever seems that ur only coming back to fill the air before another local election. Too bad your rag is not in print I would have a continous supply of toilet paper..
Hey 11:44pm, sounds like Earn's story will be on you. I can't wait!!!!
The Ochoa-Saenz crap machine over at Edinburg News has had one loss after another. Nothing left to do but bitch and whine. Most people in Edinburg know that taxpayer money is their game. They are old news. Just a bunch of jailbirds collecting mugshots for our papers.
whatever happened to the saenz dwi? heard that there was a warrant for his arrest.
Hey 11:44pm, sounds like Earn's story will be on you. I can't wait!!!!

OOO Im SOO scarrred...
The Social Club is fizzling and the former attendees of that so called establishment have spoken against that ugly, hurtful political broken-down machine. It is going out of business.
you should look into how prescriptions are being filled at Ochoa's pharmacy when the pharmacist (joe ochoa) is never there, big no no
He has two other pharmacists there when he is not. Look into Richard Garcia's law firm. He took hundreds of cases in federal court. When Wendy's husband was the prosecutor on the other side. Let people know about this one. And Richard is cooked !
Not sure how that is a conflict of interest. Wendy was a city manager, not a relative of Richards. I don't see how there would be a violation. But, if you want to throw things out like that, maybe you can explain to all of us how we the taxpayers had to pay millions of dollars to build a public golf course and somehow Joe's best friend Hector Casas somehow ends up with all the land within the golf course turing a two bit hotel manager into a millionair over night. Hector didn't have the money or the means to buy all that land, but I guarantee that Joe Ochoa and Eddie Saenz together funded the project and got their cut after the fact. Eddie couldn't directly put his name on it cause he made his money as the engineer for the project siphoning more of our taxpayer dollars. Funny that now Joe can afford to build the biggest house at Los Lagos when he just went through a divorce and business isn't doing all that well at his pharmacy.
SURE, he has two pharmasist when he not there. you think the state board will belive you though
What happened to the millions Saenz voted for himself and friends while on the EDC? When can taxpayers ever get a chance to see that again?
One million spent on his first losing campaign. Two million spent on his second losing campaign and if he finished paying all the money he still owes in E-E then we are slowly getting some of our money back.
sure but they keep taking many more millions. just take a look into Pharr where saenz has been ripping off taxpayers after edinburg kicked him out.

NEWS ALERT:
David Diaz is behind all the political blogs having to do with Edinburg. Let's not forget he copies from articles. And this guy calls himself a true journalist. Whatever..
P.R. guru admits cribbing E-N copy
Web Posted: 09/25/2004 12:00 AM CDT
Mariano Castillo
Rio Grande Valley Bureau
EDINBURG — The various roles of a South Texas journalist and public relations guru has the San Antonio Express-News and the City of Edinburg looking into evidence he committed plagiarism and other ethical breaches.
In recent years, David Diaz, an independent businessman, has contracted with the city and local politicians to write favorable stories that he distributes through e-mail, some of which have been subsequently published in the Edinburg Daily Review.
After an Edinburg reader alerted the Express-News to a Sept. 21 Daily Review story by Diaz with striking similarities to a 4-day-old story by Guillermo X. Garcia of the Express-News Austin Bureau, the paper examined Diaz's work.
Diaz prepared a statement Friday stating he had properly attributed other sources.
But later, in a phone conversation with Express-News Managing Editor Brett Thacker, he admitted making an error in judgment.
"I made a mistake, for which I apologize," Diaz said. "I'll stop doing that."
In defending himself, Diaz highlighted the prolific, original work he produces.
"I use my legislative skills, my extensive experience in journalism and in the legislature to push for issues that benefit thousands of people here in the Valley, and I've done a lot of that without getting paid for it," he said. "I get hired to promote the people that pay me. That's what I do."
In addition to the Daily Review, Diaz said his stories get picked up by many Valley newspapers, including El Americano News, the Advance News-Journal, Delta Chronicle, Mid-Valley Star, and Valley Town Crier.
Thacker said the Express-News will continue to monitor Diaz's work.
"We have put Mr. Diaz on notice about his misappropriation of material from the Express-News, and will hold him to his word that this practice will stop," Thacker said.
A sample of Diaz's stories distributed by e-mail or published in the Daily Review showed a pattern of sloppy attribution and outright plagiarism of the Express-News and the McAllen Monitor.
Since August, Diaz has placed his name on at least four articles that included — with minimal attribution — large portions of Express-News stories.
In each, Diaz credited the Express-News with one paragraph, surrounding it with quotation marks, then followed it with hundreds of words lifted verbatim from the same article without further attribution.
The Monitor, the largest daily newspaper in the Rio Grande Valley, is also a source of material for Diaz.
can someone tell me why joe garza would come and tape the ehs girls softball awards at the echo and only film carmens speech and others but not the girls getting their awards i smell a rat looks like someone is trying to see if they can catch carmen saying something wrong to keep her from running again hey mr garza this was about the softball girls not the people at the podium what a joke just look at the edinburg star web site see for your self
Joe Garza and David Diaz are one in the same. They are hired whores of Joe Ochoa's clan. Joe pays them to go around doing stuff like that. If you don't believe me, ask them for yourself.
So come on earn where's the story....
Mariano Castillo? That Mexican redneck was editor of the Texas A&M newspaper that he allowed to publish a racist cartoon against blacks.
He worked for both the San Antonio Express News and the Freedom Newspapers here in the Valley after the brothers almost tarred and feathered him in Aggie Land.
How can you believe anything that guy writes, and since when did those two newspapers ever get away with hiring someone with that kind of scandal?
Oh, that's right. Hearst Corporation was built by Randolph Hearst, the father of Yellow Journalism and the father of Patty Hearst, that nut case terrorist, and Freedom Newspapers, well, look at their operations down here. The Monitor fired Armando Durazo, its Mexican American editor, for having a romance with an Anglo reporter there, but they did not fire their Anglo photo editor for having a romance with a Mexican photographer working there.
Please!

Cartoon sparks protest
A&M newspaper releases public apology
By: By Courtney Morris (Daily Texan Staff)
Posted: 1/29/02
COLLEGE STATION - A two--week controversy came to an end Monday when The Battalion, the daily newspaper of Texas A&M University, apologized for running what some called a racist cartoon.
The Battalion apologized for an editorial cartoon that ran Jan. 14, which featured a black mother reprimanding her son for his failing grades. The characters were drawn with exaggerated facial and body features resembling African-American stereotypes.
In a protest sponsored by the African American Student Coalition, more than 300 students, administrators and faculty gathered to discuss the impact of the cartoon.
Mariano Castillo, editor in chief of The Battalion, said he did not think the cartoon would be attacked because Chad Mallam, the cartoonist, had contributed frequently to the paper with little criticism.
"It didn't raise those red flags that maybe it should have," Castillo said. "I was insensitive to students here because I didn't think about them adequately before making that call. "
Castillo, who is Hispanic, said he does not think that the cartoon indicates a larger race problem at Texas A&M.
"As a minority I have always felt welcome here, but I realize that there are so many points of view," he said. "Race here at A&M is extremely hard to judge. Every time I think I understand what's going on here as far as the the racial climate - I miscalculated this time - it's really hard to get a grasp of."
But Kristin Odums, a Texas A&M geography sophomore, said the cartoon's impact was far--reaching and made her feel unwelcome.
"There were Aggies who were white, who were Hispanic, who were black who saw [the cartoon] and were offended by this," she said. "It didn't just hurt the black community alone, it hurt the school."
In an attempt to prevent future misunderstandings, the African American Student Coalition drafted a list of suggestions they feel would help improve the paper. The student group suggested that The Battalion incorporate staff diversity training, editorial consultation, increased staff diversity and diversity awareness forums into its policy.
Bereket Bisrat, an international studies sophomore and a spokesman for the coalition, said the cartoon revealed an ongoing problem with racial insensitivity at Texas A&M.
"We think that there is not enough inclusiveness at The Battalion, that there are issues of racial insensitivity," he said. "We thought it was very apparent the racial overtones in that cartoon, and it's that kind of racial insensitivity that we think needs to be addressed."
Castillo plans to have The Battalion host forums and create an ongoing dialogue about race and diversity at Texas A&M.
"We want this and everything that we do to foster a campus community that is inclusive and that is based on mutual respect and cooperation," Bisrat said. "And we think that there are many ways we can go about that. We're very optimistic, looking to the future and we're glad that an apology has been issued and we want to move forward."
Texas A&M President Ray Bowen sent a letter to The Battalion expressing his disapproval of the cartoon and urging the paper to re-think its actions and apologize.
Bowen suggested that students concerned about the judgment of The Battalion should become involved in the paper so that their concerns can be directly addressed.
"I think the young people who are out here that are trying to make us understand what has happened would be well advised for themselves to join The Battalion staff, participate, assume leadership roles in The Battalion and I think those internal conversations will be healthy for all of us," he said.
While he agrees that apologizing was the best way to resolve the issue, Castillo said he didn't think the administration should have criticized The Battalion the way it did.
"Dr. Bowen, our president, was real quick to condemn us. I think as a politician, he did what he had to do," Castillo said. "In the future we're getting a new president and we're going to make a strong call as a newspaper and as an editorial board for a new president who understands the race and gender issues, who has a firm grasp on those. Dr. Bowen has shown time and time again that he doesn't have a firm grasp on race and gender issues and I think that reflects badly on A&M."
Several student groups participated in the protest to give their opinions of the cartoon and its impact.
"It's time to make a commitment to walk in [other people's] shoes - what it is to look at a picture and feel that you are not welcome," said Student Body president Schuyler Houser. "We've got to balance those rights with responsibility."
The Texas A&M College Republicans held a separate forum to address The Battalion's right to publish the cartoon, even if people were offended by it. It is an issue of free speech and not the content of the newspaper, said Shannon Dubberly, chairman of the Texas A&M chapter of the College Republicans.
"I am sorry they were offended, as was I, and although I do not endorse the cartoon or its message, the time has come to move on to a more constructive discussion," Dubberly said in a statement. "The fact remains, though, and AASC agrees, that Castillo had the right to publish the cartoon as guaranteed by the First Amendment."
But Castillo said freedom of speech was never an issue.
"That is taking it out of context. It's not a free speech issue, it's an issue of being offensive and we apologize for that," Castillo said. "No one's making an issue out of it because we know we had every right to print it, this issue is that we were insensitive."

The Texas Pharmacy is investigating Joe Ochoa's pharmacies, that could be a good story earn
Its not one a single person, its on the whole bunch of rats!
anybody know whats the deal with the Ochoa divorce
I find it funny that E-News is slamming Richard for donating to Alma and Gene but totally direguard the fact that Joe donated to Johnny and Leonel. Also, they claim that Alma and Gene are spokepersons for La Sienna, but conviently forget all the taxpayer money that Joe put into Los Lagos so that his best friend Hector Casas could make a living selling all the lots within the golf course. Want to call someone a crook, look at your own first.
Did you all see the show Joe put on at the last meeting? Complaining that the commission wanted to give money to a "private entity". Well Joe, what about the 660,000.00 that you gave to Super Splash because they could not make payroll! NEVER PAID BACK. OH Joe, and what about the 1,000,000.00 you gave Eddie Saenz on X-mas eve to "finish" the Super Splash project. Thats right folks, both of these are or were private companies!!!

Hey EARN is your piece gonna be on the Noe Ramon family who break their backs to get their candidates elected for political favors??? Like the nice taxpayer ck those idiots handed out for 75k!! What a bunch of bullshit!! You know if you cant cut costs and lifestyle to manage your business then you have NO BUSINESS BEING IN BUSINESS!! as far as dumbass Alma stating that it was "critical" what a bunch of bullshit!! they are under contract if they cant fulfill their obligations YOU CUT THEM LOOSE! Very simple...as far as Noe Ramon I mean REV. NOE RAMON doing something free YEAH RIGHT he charges people a pretty penny for those CRITICAL transports if not he bills Medicare..SO GET IT STRAIGHT HE is not a non-profit organization..The only charity in town thanks to our newly elected and idiot councilmembers is THE CITY OF EDINBURG!! by the way I cant pay my water bill and I need water to survive its critical and I get free water for the next year??? Earn if you dont report this your a sellout if YOU CLAIM TO STAND FOR THE TRUTH THEN HERES YOUR CHANCE TO BE UNBIASED!!! But youll probably choose to ignore because ur up Alma, Gene, and Gus arse!!
What is it about the ambulance service that upsets you? The problem is that you have no idea what goes into it. You would rather award contracts to low budget, undertrained and underqualified companies like Vital Line Ambulance Company which is owned by Eddie Saenz. Just ask him why his ambulance company isn't 911 certified and cannot respond to emergncy calls. If Eddie thinks that he can provide the same exact service for a lower price, the tell him to upgrade his services and personnel and see what it costs him to do business. Then come back here and open your mouth and tell us about the decision made by the entire city council.

Its about the city giving away TAXPAYER MONEY DUMBASS as for ambulance companies they and their employees all have to abide by state and federal licensure minimums!! SO whomever is in business to do transporting, Critical care response whatever HAS TO BE CERTIFIED BY THE STATE!! you cant just slap some signage on a van and decide to open an ambulance company.. As for your studid remark I dont have a problem particulary with Valley EMS or Noe Ramon what I DO HAVE a problem is paying for somebodys lavish lifestyle fancy trucks and jewelry then HE turns around and begs the city to GIVE...GIVE.. not loan him $$ so that he can TURN A PROFIT??? EMS response isnt his only racket. And Like I said before IF HE CANT OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER UPHOLD HIS OBLIGATIONS TO HIS CONTRACT THEN HE NEEDS TO BE RELEASED?? Im not a Joe O supporter he has had his share of fuck ups but Tell me where does it stop ALMA? GENE? NOE? GUS? The mayor has made stupid decisions I AGREE but do we need to follow in his footsteps?? somebody PLEASE RUN AGAINST RICHARD AND JOE THESE TWO IDIOTS and THEIR EGOS ARE NOT A GOOD FIT FOR OUR CITY!!!!
If I was paying Edinburg News to help me, I'd pay them to keep there mouth shut. Everyone knows, when Edinburg News supports a candidate, that politician is going to lose the next election.
Eddie Saenz should have learned that!
AGAIN!!!!
LOL. Contrary to the likes of the Edinburg Star, Edinburg News and Edinburg Politics, I am not a media whore.
Hey Enews, I've got your turning point down here mofo. Para que la haces de pedo, todos saben con quien estas culero.
seriously you should look into Ochoa's pharmacies (plural) and only one pharmasist on staff
hmmmmmm....
Ha ha, it looks like Edinburg News is trying to pass off another I sat by Nick Palacios lie. Notice they never say what resturant, what day, what time. It's funny that even after their last round of lies which led to their losses, the dumbasses at Edinburg News still think that people are dumb enough to believe their lies.
Vital Line busted with drugs!!!!! No wonder Eddie can fund all those politicos.
The feds are on to this ------
http://www.newschannel5.tv/2008/7/3/993932/Ambulance-Drug-Smugglers
1,000 pounds of marijuana inside the ambulance.
Newschannel 5 hasn't given up on the story they have given the assignment to follow up to Will Ripley. You know he doesn't f*** around. I can't wait to see what he finds out.
Reportedly stolen my ass, check out the driver running out of the ambulance in a yellow polo shirt which is Vital line's. So that was an employee.........can't get out of that one.
This explains why Eddie Saenz was so tight with the drug users in the Edcouch Elsa politics like Aaron Gonzalez and the other low types. But his company ambulances used for drug running this is bad. Put this on top of the warrant for his arrest for not showing at for his DWI case is a big embarassment for Edinburg. We are lucky this guy was kicked out of politics when he ran. His friend Chuy and JD will get him off the hook unless the feds do something. Soon he might join his relative Terresa Navarro if they uncover the rest.
drug dealers like this have got to go. anybody close to this guy in politics is a big loser! using an ambulance to run drugs is stupid and harmful. does this guy sit on the edinburg hospital board, if so he has got to go.
EDDIE SAENZ MARIJUANA TRANSPORTS we get your MOTA quick to the destination of choice.
Anyone saw the headlines in the Monitor about Pharr in financial trouble?????????Pinche Eddie Saenz is sucking Pharr dry.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NURKOflcF60
I heard the same thing. J.D. Salinas who was an employee of Eddie Saenz by more than coincidence got Saenz the loop project so that they both could make millions. Drugs and mud politics only in the Valley. Bring back Othal Brand before these crooks get in your wallet.
so its been more than a month and no story, whats going on earn?
Well, it's official. Edinburg News has named it's candidate that they are going to back in the November school board election against Carmen Gonzalez. Who is it? Please try not to hurt yourself laughing too hard. Gilbert Enriquez. Yes, you heard right, Gilbert Enriquez. The same Gilbert Enriquez that even Edinburg News was calling a rat only one year ago. The same Gilbert Enriquez that they continually slam cause of overbudget projects on the taxpayer dime. It seems that Gilbert has made his "donation" to the whores at Edinburg News and in true prostitute fashion, Edinburg News has laid on it's back taken the "donation" and all is forgiven. Now, Edinburg News is calling Gilbert Enriquez their savior and the best candidate to take the district through the next few years.
Gilbert was of the biggest rats in school board history. Well, Gilbert's plan is to bring his "expertiece" in construction to the table as the school district starts building schools with bond money. So tell me Gilbert, does your expertiece include building city hall which your company built and was not only almost a year behind schedule but several million dollars over budget? If that's the extent of your experience, thanks but a big NO THANKS.
It kinda makes you wonder though. When Jaime Chavana, Greg Garcia and Gilbert Enriquez were on the majority of the board, people didn't trust them cause they knew what crooks they were and because of that, they had 2 failed bond elections. Now the public overwhelmingly supported the latest bond election because the board finally has leadership people can trust and this rat wants to get back in the picture so they can rip off the taxpayers again. Again, thanks, but NO THANKS.
As for Earn's story, it's starting to circulate already and the FBI is already investigating. It has to to with the minorty of the board selling themselves really cheap. Already taking kickbacks and waiting for Gilbert Enriquez so they can take bigger and bigger kick backs when the school district starts over $100,000,000.00 of construction.
It's gotta be a joke that Enriquez would be running. The FBI is watching this guy and for him to run again is only going to help get his ass closer to going to jail.
No kidding, check out this Tuesday's City Commission meeting: Litigation regarding City Hall will be discussed.
sadly, it's no joke. He is running and Edinburg News is backing him. That just goes to show that E-News has no interest in what's best for the children of the district, they just sell themselves to the highest bidder like the whores they are.
You guys are giving E-news far too much credit. Every E-news candidate has lost. They are what 0-10.
