Salinas waving his Mexican-made signs at traffic. Maybe it really says "Honk if you can see my belt!"
The Mayor of Laredo has been seen a lot recently standing on street corners waving his Mexican-made campaign signs, and, not surprisingly, taking a lot of criticism for spending his campaign funds outside of our city … especially outside of our country (which, by the way, is illegal in some campaigns.)
However, amigos, you can feel confident that the Big Man is finally listening to you, the people of Laredo, you who he bamboozled into electing him four years ago. Chubby Cheeks Salinas has now had his chief donor, Raymond (I’m running for everything) Bruni buy him a few campaign signs from a company in San Antonio. (Certainly not Laredo, but definitely not a company run by the Zeta gang either.)
Congratulations Salinas. Unfortunately, as in most instances of your blundering campaign, it’s too little too late.
And … RAYMOND BRUNI? Couldn’t you get Farouk Shami to sponsor you again?

(ADMIN COMMENT — Another case of inappropriate language and attitude. You obviously are in bed with the Salinas regime – on one side of the border or the other – OR ELSE, you’re a high school kid playing games. Either way, another comment like this and you will be banned from this site. Thank you.)

Those of us who know you know that you have not disclosed several in kind contributions from those who are supporting you and you antionted them with a position that only the Mayor has the sole authority to appoint and needs no confirmation from Council.The all time BIG Loser headed for another loss. MR.BRUNI forget about trying to control everyone with your money.Your has expired on this one
