ERASMO VENTS AT "CORRUPT" MAYOR, CITY COMMISSION

By Juan Montoya
Remember when Erasmo Castro – the self-proclaimed Head Cheese of Cheezmeh – use to threaten his detractors that "we are a Legion and we are 20,000 strong?"

Well, after an underwhelming response to his call to arms where he asked the "Cheezenation to send emails and the black and white shirts to attend and protest at the City Hall for the meeting," he couldn't help but to spew his spite at his lukewarm band of followers.
"I thought we had more than five friends/subscribers," Erasmo lamented on his Internet page from Austin, his home. "At least tell me to go f__k myself."
These are bitter words from a would-be social media page politiquero when things don't go his way.
After saying that he thought the board of the school district was the "stupidest governmental body in our community," he lashed out at the city commission for going along with Mayor Tony Martinez and voting to donate 76 acres of land to the UT System.
"The more they rejuvenate themselves with picturesque moments, they remain corrupt and inept and unable to save the day," he penned. "We have zero representation at the city."
Some of us who grew up in the Midwest remember sayings like "don't burn your bridges," and "you can attract more flies with honey than you can with vinegar," advice apparently lost on Erasmos who fancied himself a Super Politiquero allied with the likes of Ernie Hernandez and daughter Erin.
But now that he has called the mayor (pictured with the Head Cheez above) and commissioners corrupt and inept, it is doubtful that illusion will come to pass.
Perhaps the dwindling fortunes of the politiqueras aligned with Erin and Ernie will become obvious as the next round of elections in May for city commission approaches.
