With the latest gunfights/murders just across the border, San Benito City Managers should give the officers the contract raise they had agreed on.
raise they agreed on? city puppets of mr lara don’t know about honesty! they only give each other raises, i mean, “cost of living adjustments” that come from more responsibilites. all those words mean that those in charge will b taken care of, police and fire u might as well wait for new admin
