VIRO IN TROUBLE
At The McHale Report this story comes as no surprise to us. Viro "El Virus" Cardenas in in trouble again. Isn't this the usual destination of a neer-do-well? Juan Montoya's El Rrun Rrun is reporting that the candidate for the BISD Board of Trustees--part of the ignominious slate known as "Los Buitres" that include Erasmo Castro and Carlos Elizondo--has a bastard child that he hasn't been paying of his or her upbringing.
Isn't it ironic that he is campaigning to take care of BISD students when he can't even take care of his own child? And isn't it curious that his political compadres have had more than their share of problems with the law? In the end we may discover that another flock of vultures will be picking apart the bones of "Los Buitres" and "La Paloma" Marisa Leal if she isn't care. Reports El Rrun Rrun:
Are you friends with Evaristo "Viro" Cardenas?
If you are, you might want to tell him to keep a low profile and avoid Cameron County Pct. 4 Constable process servers at all costs because they got some paper from a court which could land him behind bars before the Nov. 3 election.
Cardenas, as we have learned, threw his hat in the ring and placed himself on the ballot August 17 for the four-year term Place 3 position of the Brownsville Independent School District now held by incumbent Phil Cowen.
Other challengers for that position include Argelia Miller and Jessica G. Gonzalez. About three weeks before the drawing for the ballot, the Texas Attorney General filed its papers to bring him in to court.
The Texas Attorney General filed a motion to confirm support July 23 in the family court of Assistant District Judge Gilbert Rosas and asks that notice be served by the constable's office on Cardenas to appear for a hearing October 23, 11 days before the Nov. 3 general election. The AG wants the court to order him to pay some $53,000 in arrears on child support payments.
This isn't the first time that our luckless Viro has been in the AG's sights. His troubles started in 2007 and over the years he has been able to make a little over $8,000 in payments but has lagged far behind in his agreement. In a previous brush with that court, he ended up donning and orange jumpsuit until he scraped a few bucks to be set loose.
Unless he has friends with deep pockets, Viro might end up before Rosas, who local attorneys say is often adamant with recalcitrant parents. His opponents in the race are probably sighing with relief that they won't have to debate the voluble Viro on the hustings.
Now the AG wants him to come in with every possible record of personal income including IRS forms, Social Security statements, pay stubs, etc., and fork over the dough for the October hearing.
Others ask: How can a person afford to finance a political race when he has a $53,000 monkey on his back? And why would anyone subject themselves to the inevitable public scrutiny of their personal finances by running in such a contentious public forum?
Our candidate has a long row to hoe with this little problem and running for a public board that controls a budget exceeding $500 million, votes on the employment of more than 6,500 workers and looks after the education and welfare of some 40,000 BISD students right about now may not have been the most judicious decision he could have made.
