WILL YOU PLEASE INVITE HER IN? >> GOOD MORNING.

>> GOOD MORNING. I LIKE TO REMIND YOU THERE A THREE MINUTE TIME LIMIT FOR PRESENTATION I WILL ADVICE YOU WHEN THERE ONE MINUTE REMAINING I WILL BEGIN CLOCK WHEN YOU

START. >> GOOD MORNING COMMISSIONERS.

I'M HERE TO INFORM YOU OF OUR DISCOVERIES THUS FAR IN THE 2020 ELECTION INVESTIGATION THAT WE HAVE BEEN CONDUCTING UNDER THE MONICA DEW LA CRUZ HERNANDEZ CAMPAIGN.

LAST TIME I WAS HERE, WE COMPLAINED OF ILLEGAL MAIL-IN BALLOT APPLICATIONS THAT YOU APPROVED.

THE VOTER ROLLS NOT BEING CLEANED UP, LACK OF SAFEGUARDS PUT IN PLACE FOR THIS ELECTION, AND ISTHE COMPLAINTS MADE BY PO WORKER AND POLL WATCHERS. FALSELY SAID A VOTER THE ROLLS WERE UPDATED IN TIMELY BASIS AND THAT THERE WERE NO COMPLAINTS.

I AM HERE TO TELL YOU THAT SHE IS WRONG.

AND YOUR BOARD ILLEGALLY APPROVED MAIL-IN BALLOT APPLICATIONS TO BE MAILED OUT TO THOSE AGE 65 AND OLDER WHO ARE REGISTERED TO VOTE. OUR INVESTIGATION FOUND THE FOLLOWING, 424 PEOPLE VOTED IN HIDALGO THAT WERE NOT ON THE VOTER ROLL. THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE YVONNE RAMON CLEANED UP HER SVOTER ROLY WELL DOES IT? 2423 PEOPLE UNDER AGE OF 65 VOTED BY MAIL-IN BALLOT.

NOW IN ORDER TO VOTE BY MAIL-IN BALLOT YOU MUST HAVE A QUALIFYING EVENT OR MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF BEING 65 OR OLDER. ON SEPTEMBER 30TH TEXAS SUPREME COURT RULED THAT IT IS ILLEGAL TO MAIL OUT UNSOLICITED MAIL-IN

[00:15:02]

BALLOT APPLICATIONS TO ALL PEOPLE IN THE COUNTY OVER AGE 65. YVONNE RAMONE DEFIED TEXAS SUPREME COURT AND AN OUT AS PER LETTERS RECEIVED AND TURNED INTO OUR CAMPAIGN OFFICE. WHO IS GOING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEFYING THE TEXAS SUPREME COURT ORDERS YVONNE RAMON OR JUDGE RICHARD CORTEZ.

THESE FACTS REEK OF VOTER FRAUD THAT CORRUPTION THAT CONTINUES TO MAKE HIDALGO COUNTY. WHAT POSSIBLY SHOCKS ME THE MOST THAT HIPOCRACY OF JUDGE RICHARD CORTEZ.

YES, THAT'S RIGHT. RICHARD CORTEZ.

AT THE CANDIDATE IN 2005 RUNNING FOR MAYOR YOU LED CHARGE AGAINST AT DANGERS OF MAIL-IN BATTLE RECEIVED A STATE NATIONAL ATTENTIONS FOR THIS THERE WERE ARTICLES WRITTEN IN HOUSTON CHRONICLE ABOUT ELDER ABUSE IN SYSTEM AND A MAIL BALLOT SCHEMES. YES WHEN IN POSITION TO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE OF TRUE LEADER YOU COWER TO SYSTEM AND AM SHOWED YOUR TRUE COLORS. YOU WORK THE POLITICAL SYSTEM WHEN IT WORKS FOR YOU WHEN IT WAS CONVENIENT TO YOU.

SHAME ON YOU AND TO THE COMMISSIONER COURT FOR DOING THIS. BECAUSE OF THIS, NONE OF US CAN HOLD OUR HEAD HIGH IN THE 2020 ELECTION.

NOW EVEN A SUPPOSED WINNER OF THIS RACE VIN SENTED GONZALES

MUST WALK IN SHAME >> TIME.

>> NEXT WE HAVE FERN. >> GOOD MORNING.

I THERE A THREE MINUTE TIME I WILL ADVISE YOU WHEN THERE ONE MINUTE REMAINING I WILL BEGIN THE CLOCK WHEN YOU BEGIN.

>> COMMISSIONERS IT IS OBVIOUS THAT WE HAVE A TOTAL DIFFERENCE OF OPINION CONCERNING HOW TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES INVOLVING COVID-19. THIS COMMISSION SEEMS TO BELIEVE THAT THE PEOPLE SHOULD WEAR MASKS, PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCING AND STAY AT HOME SO THEY CAN GET SICKER.

TO REINFORCE THIS POSITION, LOCAL GOVERNMENTS HAVE PLACE LIMITATIONS ON BUSINESSES, LOCKED DOWN PUBLIC PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT AND EVEN PROHIBITED PUBLIC GATHERING OF 10 OR MORE PEOPLE IN INITIAL STAGE THE COUNTY ORDERED EVEN CLOSED NONSPECIAL BUSINESSES AND CHURCHES.

I UM GLAD THAT THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT HAS QUICKLY ALTERED THEIR POSITION ON CLOSING CHURCHES.

FREEDOM OF RELIGION IS PROTECTED BY THE FIRST AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION. WHICH PROVIDES PROHIBITS LAWS ESTABLISHING A NATIONAL RELIGION OR IMPEDING THE FREE EXERCISE OF RELIGION FOR ITS CITIZENS BASICALLY IT IS CONSTITUTION LOCAL GOVERNMENTS CANNOT PLAY WITH THIS RIGHT.

EVEN DURING PANDEMIC. MY POINT IS CITIZENS HAVE SIGNIFICANT SIGNIFICANT LIMITED ESPECIALLY BY AT COUNTY'S ORDER TO SHELTER IN PLACE OUR SCHOOLS, ONE OF OUR MAJOR EMPLOYERS ARE NOT FULLY OPEN AND OPERATING. BUS DRIVERS CAFETERIA WORKER STAFFS OVER 4,000 HERE IN ED INBURYING AR INBURYING BERG THP THIS A COUNTY COURT SEEMS TO HAVE MOVED UNDERGROUND NOT BE FULLY OPERATIONAL SINCE MARCH OF THIS YEAR UNLIKE A LOT PEOPLE WE ARE GUTLESS.

WE ARE HERE. WHERE ARE YOU AT HIDING? UNLIKE LOT OF PEOPLE THIS IS GOT TO STOP AND WE'VE GOT TO TAKE CARE OF PEOPLE I WANT TO KNOW EACH ONE OF YOU AND EVERY ONE THAT WORKS WITH THIS COUNTY HAS NOT MISSED ONE PAYCHECK.

NOT ONE. AND WE'RE GETTING AND YET WE'RE AT THIS MEETING WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON NEW VEHICLES. HUMAN RESOURCES A REQUEST A SUSPENSION OF POLICY SO THEY CAN REQUEST AUTHORIZING TO INCREASE SOMEONE'S SALARY OR EMPLOY MORE PEOPLE.

THIS COMMISSION IS NOT NOT ONLY SPENDING MORE TIME YOU'RE CREATING MORE WAYS OF GIVING UP TO A SELECT PEOPLE.

YOU TAKE IT FROM THE POOR AND GIVE TO RICH.

TODAY WE HAVE SKON TABL PRECINCT THAT WILL THE TAKE COVID MONEY FOR SUPPLY AND REVENUE OF $10,000.

SHERIFF'S OFFICE 89. LOT OF COVID MONEY GOING TO SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND TO FUNDING OF EQUIPMENT AND FURNITURE CAN YOU TELL US WHY? DA HAS TWO PEOPLE WILL BE GETTING A $4,000 EACH CAR ALLOWANCE.

THERE ARE TWO MEN WE HAVE TWO RESTROOM WITH TWO STALLS WITH ONE URINAL AND WOMEN'S BATHROOM WITH THREE STALLS FOR $136,000.

WE'RE ALSO BUYING 13 ARE FORD EXPLORER FOR SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

$442,555. PEOPLE ARE HURTING HERE.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND GET OUT OF YOUR OFFICES AND GET HERE SO YOU CAN SEE. GO THROUGH THE COUNTY.

SOME OF YOU AT HOME SOME YOU DO YOU REALLY CARE?

I DON'T THINK SO. >> TIME.

[00:20:04]

>> NEXT WE HAVE CHARLINE. >> GOOD MORNING.

>> GOOD MORNING. >> I REMIND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES FOR YOUR PRESENTATION I WILL ADVISE YOU WHEN ONE MINUTE REMAINING I WILL BEGIN THE CLOCK WHEN YOU BEGIN.

>> GREAT. GOOD MORNING.

I OPENED PAPER TODAY AND I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT OUR COUNTY IS GOING TO HAVE A BILLBOARD WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE DIED IN OUR COUNT COUNTY.

NOW YOU'RE SAYING THEY HAVE DIED BECAUSE OF COVID.

BUT OF COURSE WE KNOW THAT'S NOT TRUE.

BUT, HOW COULD YOU BE SO HEARTLESS AND TO REMIND PEOPLE OF THEIR LOVED ONES THAT HAVE PASSED AWAY WHEN THEY ARE DRIVE ALONG. I MEAN THAT IS INSANE.

AND SECOND PLACE, THIS IS A VIOLATION OF HIPAA LAW YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT PEOPLE'S HEALTH.

THESE PEOPLE -- WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO SCARE THEM? THESE PEOPLE DID NOT DIE OF COVID.

THE STATE OF TEXAS SAID, THEY LOOKED AT THE DEATH CERTIFICATES AND THEY TOOK THE PEOPLE THAT DIED OF COVID AWAY FROM PEOPLE THAT DIED WITH COVID. IF YOU DIE GUNSHOT WOUND AND YOU HAVE COVID YOU DID NOT DIE OF COVID.

IN COUNTY HAS OVER 2,000, STATE HAS LESS THAN 500 PEOPLE WHO DIED OF COVID IN HAS THE HIDALGO COUNTY.

YOU ARE TRYING TO SCARE PEOPLE AND THAT'S WRONG.

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE DOING THIS.

BUT IT'S WRONG. GOVERNMENT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO SCARE THEIR RESIDENTS. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO REASSURE US AND PROTECT US.

AND THIS IS WRONG. AND THE FOURTH PLACE, BILLBOARDS ARE NOT CHEAP. AND YOU'VE GUYS SHOULD BE CUTTING YOUR BUDGET NOT FINDING NEW WAYS TO SPEND OUR TAX MONEY.

YOU NEED TO CUT IT BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE PROPERTY TAXES GO DOWN. AND YOU'RE DOING NOTHING TO DO THAT. YOU'RE JUST SPENDING SPENDING, SPENDING. AND THIS IS UNNECESSARY.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE TO EVERY TAXPAYER IN THIS COUNTY.

YOU NEED TO STOP WASTING OUR M ON YOUR SCARE TACTICS. THANK YOU, MERRY CHRISTMAS.

>> THAT WAS IT, SIR. >> OKAY.
