Employees “should not engage in conduct that would reflect badly upon the integrity of the County” reads the County’s employee handbook. And as much as Jaime Abeytia’s personal conduct is suspect we already know that we cannot expect him to rise above and be held accountable. Vince Perez, on the other hand, has a duty …

Now that we know that there is evidence that felon Larry Medina provided “favors” for El Paso corruptors while he was at City Council, I thought it might be interesting to see who Larry Medina supported via political contributions.

Whether Larry Medina, among others, gets sentenced today, February 19, 2013 as expected is yet to be seen as Larry is such a weasel that he will likely seek to weasel his way out of doing jail time. He already tried prostrating himself before Judge Montalvo at his plea hearing shedding crocodile tears while uttering …
