What is it about “He was fired from Donna” that you don’t understand??? It’s plain and simple! Hello!!
@C Rendon and Denny Crane Jr.
Hey do you have facts as to what really went on as why he was let go ? If not know just mine your own business. And if you think you can do better then you run and do a better job.People like just like to talk . So will you be running then or you not good enough to run ? Let people do as they please . Oh by the why he has my Vote……
Thye say history repeats itself but is anyone going to listen?
Are Rodriguez and Tumberlinson running unopposed?
I believe the technical word for “let go” is “FIRED”!

Is this a joke? Isn’t this the same dude that was also superintendent in Donna and was let go? Oh my goodness…sorry, but not getting my vote. I think out city deserves better.
We’re in the 2012 year, and I think people need to stop bringing up events from the past that do not even relate to the current arrangement. Mr. Gonzalez is a highly respectable man, who is more than qualified to make our city a better place. So unless you know actual facts, and not just what certain political figures say, then you do not truly know his qualifications.
