A point that is constantly made to me by central Texans is the incredible level of nepotism and corruption in public office in these counties and towns.
Arredondo never went to a police academy, was never a patrol cop. He went from 911 operator to town bureaucrat to town council to chief of the Uvalde school cops.
Pure nepotism, cronyism, and corruption.
Qualifications, skill, talent, knowledge had NOTHING to do with Arredondo being installed as police chief of schools.
The only jobs in those towns are fast food ones and government jobs ...... Federal, state and county. Schools are always a big tit to suck off of So the local school system set up its own police force. With imbecile Pete Arredondo heading it up. He had one job to do and he booted it 100%
Of course a town like Uvalde is super incestuous when it comes to who gets doled out a gubbermint job. My guess is Uvalde is a huge drain on the state of Texas finances.
I would point out that that is common in small towns everywhere I’ve been in the US. I really don’t understand why a lot of people here on FR idolize small towns as, having lived in several, I found that their governments are full of incompetence, bias and corruption.
as I suspected. Not dissimilar to the Biden administration or most government positions. A mayor of South Bend is in charge of U.S. Transportation? Seriously, what was his expertise? And Granholm, spare me.
