BPUB CONCEALS IT DELETED 10'S OF THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS ACCOUNTS

They are blaming a new program.  Fine - fire whomever purchased the program.  They obviously did not do their due diligence.

I keep a tight budget.  I always have a reserve for emergencies.  Yesterday I could not access my BPUB account.  I was told they could not find my account number or email.  I could not access the account.  Some people who do not pay attention to their bills and receive notice electronically could end up missing their payment.  The emails are gone according to the BPUB.

This morning I was told after making an inquiry that the new system deleted all of the account information for many customers.

Fine, a fool bought a bad program, fire them and then post to your web page a notice for customers to reregister.  That is what I was told in the communication from the BPUB this morning.

WHY CAN THE BPUB NOT JUST TELL THE TRUTH?

 

THE CAMERON COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT CAN DO ATTITUDE

Today I had two great experiences with the CCAD.   I learned that Sylvia Garza-Perez failed to forward a Texas Estate Code 205.006, Family Settlement Agreement to CCAD.  While looking at the current tax bill, the property was still in the name of the deceased father.

The law requires the initial document be filed with the County Clerk's office.  It is then to be sent to CCAD for review and to change the name on the tax bill.  Sylvia Garza Perez is not forwarding same to the CCAD resulting in the new owner not having to pay the higher taxes.  There is an heir exception, but it would not apply here.

The people should be allowed to rely on elected officials doing their job.  This is Cameron County, and such a rule does not apply.

But I will tell you at the CCAD, the clerks are not like the clerks who work for Sylvia.  At the CCAD the mindset is, how to I help you?

The wait to see the clerk was nominal.  I was with the new homeowner, and the clerk immediately saw the problem.  The recorded document done at Sylvia Garza-Perez's office never forwarded the document to the CCAD.  

Now to be fair there is no clear law as what happens after it is recorded at the Sylvia's office.  But this is a leadership issue.  Sylvia should know all recorded documents need to be forwarded to the proper authorities.  She accepts a document which verifies a change in ownership, filed with her office as mandated by law and then does not know enough it must be sent to the CCAD for processing and a change in taxes based on the new owner.  At a minimum Sylvia should know to tell the filer they need to take it to the CCAD.

Once we got to the CCAD the can-do attitude of the clerk had us out of there within 10 minutes. The taxes will be adjusted to the name of the new owner.  

THE SECOND BIG POSITIVE

It can be a challenge for some to go to San Benito, so the Cameron County Appraisal District is coming to you.  See the flyer above.  This is how government should work.

A COMPARISON BETWEEN FEDERAL COURT CLERKS AND STATE CLERKS.

The federal court clerk made a very honest mistake in my COB lawsuit which the city removed to federal court.  

I realized the honest mistake and communicated with the clerk how the mistake was made.  The clerk's office did not run to coverup their honest mistake.  Before I even filed the Motion with Judge Olvera to correct the honest mistake, the clerk began the process of correcting the honest mistake.  I would expect Judge Olvera to now dismiss my motion as moot.  It is always such a please to work with the federal clerks.

I have formal complaints against Laura Perez-Reyes, Sylvia Perez-Garza, the clerk of the 13th Court of Appeals, the Texas Supreme Court clerk and soon against the Clerk for the Court of Criminal Appeals. Why?  because to a clerk they will lie and do whatever they must to cover-up their mistakes.  None of them have the content of character to just correct their mistake. 

 

SOMETIMES SILENCE IS GOLDEN

Because confidentiality in litigation is always important at this juncture it is better I remain silent.  But I am very happy.

MY HEALTH

I just finished my morning routine of checking blood sugar and injecting my insulin.  My fasting blood sugar this morning was 215, while on 110 units of insulin.  My blood sugar remains exactly at the number it was at with zero insulin.   At about 18 months of insulin therapy, my blood sugar is no better than it was 18 months ago.  My evening BS is between 285 and 310. 

INSULIN TREATMENT CAN BE TOXIC

I have zero trust in the doctors.  If the patient does not respond to pills or insulin, they have no options for the patient.  They do not even know how insulin works or how it impacts the body depending on the time of day you take it.

They had me taking it at 9 p.m..  This is absolutely wrong.  Because of my chronic insomnia, I am to take while fasting in the morning.  This has helped my sleep significantly.

THE PROSTATE CANCER SCARE

I am at a loss.  I will say next week they finally have me scheduled with a doctor who can take the biopsy in a few weeks.  There is a two-week rule.  I will learn if she schedules the biopsy within 2 weeks when I see her next week. 

The standalone prostate cancer lab work continues to point to cancer.  But the doctors at the VA and within the community do not believe insulin lowers the PSA.   The last PSA came in at 1.1.  It is not possible for a normal PSA of 1.1 for a 68-year-old man with an enlarged prostate.

FOR NOW, THE FATIGUE DRIVES ME

I will go back to sleep now for several hours.  I do not know if the insulin resistance or the prostate is the source of the fatigue, but it is significant. 

 

THIS MORNING VP JD VANCE SNUBBED JEWS IN THE US, ISRAEL AND WORLDWIDE BY ASKING FOR PRAYERS FOR CHRISTIANS AS WE APPROACH EASTER, BUT NOT JEWS FOR PASSOVER WHICH SHARES THE HOLIDAY WITH CHRISTIANS

Had a Democrat done this, MAGA news would be all over it.  It is no secret Vance blames Isael for this mess.  Israel does not represent the Jewish faith, and we must keep this in mind. 

This was done on live TV as Trump was mumbling his gradiences. 

 

CITY OF BROWNSVILLE SUIT, JOHN DOE, AND MY CANCER CONCERN

I will seek a rehearing on Judge Olvera's Order dismissing my § 1983 against the COB.  I have no issue with Judge Overa's order, save his failure to explore what constitutes a public concern.  His subjective conclusion my case does not constitute a matter of public concern, is wrong.  Respect mandates I allow Judge Olvera to review my legal argument, before taking him on appeal.

The key facts are simple, did Omar Ochoa engage in a matter of public concern when he called Texas Lone Star and told them they did not have to remedy the code violations, after Omar Ochoa was informed, I asked that he be investigated for failure to do his job?

Judge Olvera did not review what constitutes public concern.  He bypassed that part of the analysis, and instead provided his subjective opinion, not based in law. This is why you afford the judge an opportunity to correct his mistake.

"“Exposing governmental inefficiency and misconduct is a matter of considerable significance” Garcetti v. Ceballos, 547 U.S.  410, 425 (2006)

This is from a trial court opinion in Georgia.

"The Court finds Strang's complaint contains sufficient detail to find she spoke as a citizen on a matter of public concern. Generally speaking, the public has a keen interest in discovering wrongdoing or breaches of the public trust on the part of its public officials. See id. 148-49 ("Nor did Myers seek to bring to light actual or potential wrong- doing or breach of public trust on the part of Connick and others."); Garcetti, 547 U.S. at 425 ("Exposing government inefficiency and misconduct is a matter of considerable significance."). "A 'core concern' of the First Amendment is the protection of whistleblowers who report government wrongdoing."

Here is the key:  Judge Olvera must find Omar Ochoa with the city did not act in a matter of public concern when he told Texas Lone Star they did not have to remedy the code violations, after I demanded the city of Brownsville investigate Omar Ochoa.

THE CASE OF JOHN DOE

The case remains before the Court of Criminal Appeals.  Texas AG Paxton is part of the investigation.  So, we wait.  

UPDATE ON CANCER SCARE IS SURREAL

MY CANCER SCARE

I finally get to speak with a scheduler.  I ask her to verify the test being ordered.  She says it is okay because DHR lab had just stated they can do the lab.  She lied, and I know it for sure.  I insisted she give me the name of test being requested.

She says Community Care Urology requested psi-BYH.  No such test exists so why then did she say DHR already confirmed they could do the test?

I spent nearly an hour on the phone with a supervisor who was streaming through the endless encyclopedias of excuses.  The test is psi-HYB Panel.

He cannot understand he needs to fix the test request.  He wants to focus on the alleged failures of his staff.  No, first you fix the problem, and investigate your staff.  They cannot comprehend the urgency is endless findings pointing towards prostate cancer.  This is the core problem with government employees, they cannot be fired or sued, so they just lie. 

I am still holding to a belief all the lab results pointing to cancer are wrong, and in fact the problem is a rare form of inflammation. But if it is cancer, I can assure everyone I will not let it go until everyone in community care who dropped the ball is fired. 

After I shower, I will go to a walk-in clinic to get the referral to LabCorp. The walk-in clinic will charge the VA, but I suspect the lab will be charged to Medicare. 

On LabCorp, that was my request which as a veteran I get to choose.  The community care employee would not allow for me to use Lab Corp.  DHR IS NOT an option because their urologist is a very hard no-go as a care option.

IT IS BEYOND SURREAL:  I asked the supervisor when the problem may be fixed.  He said he did not know.  All he has to do is call the nurse in CC Urology and ask her to change the test to psi-HYB Panel, and the voucher will go out.  Something so simple is not something he can understand. 

ORIGINAL POST 

I am at a loss.  For a week my doctor has demanded over and over again that Community Care send an authorization to Lab Corp, to do the specialized lab work which predicts possibility of prostate cancer.  Other than repeating her demand the voucher be issued, she will not help.

Community Care every day claims they cannot issue the voucher because they cannot get ahold of me. They claim I am not answering my phone.  So, I say, okay I am on the phone now, let's handle it.  Nope, they will only work with me when I answer my phone.  They claim to have left multiple voicemails.  The problem is, while I am on the phone with the VA, my live T-Mobile bill actually shows me I am on the phone with the VA.  There is no record in my bill of the VA calling me from Community Care.  

In the last months, the VA IG issued a conclusion Community Care is failing at its job and denying veteran's care.

If by noon, no voucher has issued, I will go to a day and night clinic and try and put it on my Medicare, or I will pay cash, and ask for a referral to LabCorp to perform the advanced lab work.  This is sad.

 

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT IS FRANLIN. 

The founding fathers knew full well the people are the sovereigns, and not the government. The government sits subordinate to the people.  A question I am about to pose in federal court with this entire mess is, is adherence to your oath as a public official discretionary or mandatory.

I get the press will say this is stupid.  It is not.  If adherence to your oath of office as a public figure is discretionary, then what compels any elected official to uphold the constitution and laws.  This is what is wrong with the immunity doctrine. A subordinate employee of the people (sovereign) cannot be immune from suit by the sovereign.  There is no immunity and to the extent the courts have found same, it is based on a false belief the public figure is the sovereign and not the people. 

 

TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF LICENSING AND REGULATION INFORMED ME I CAN FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST OMAR OCHOA OVER HIS MISHANDLING OF MY CASE

They will not tell me the result of any pending complaint.  They were clear, if I file the complaint, they will explain whether code enforcement is discretionary.  Will John Cowen authorize use of your tax dollars to pay for his defense?  You bet.

I WILL PUSH AS HARD AS I CAN TO SEEK PERMISSION TO DEPOSE LINDA MACIAS

She is vindictive and petty.  My complaints about the huge pothole at the end of my cul-de-sac goes unresolved.  About two months ago the postman had to rock his truck to get out of the pothole.  It is in front of a home which has visitors all day long due to a family illness.  Between these cars, and the garbage trucks the hole gets bigger and bigger by the day.  It is so wrong these family members dealing with a family illness have to try and park everyday around a huge pothole, because Linda has a score to settle with me.

I know how my neighbors feel about her.  She is not well liked.  She is so petty she posed in a pothole in another commissioner's district bragging about getting it repaired, while refusing any help with the pothole in my cul-de-sac.  This is the behavior you expect of a five-year-old while having a temper tantrum on the playground. The neighbors I spoke with had no problem assuming my trash not being picked up was classic Macias.  We know her.  She has zero tolerance for dissent.  Macias thinks compliance with her oath of office is discretionary. It is not.

To be clear, at this point I have no proof who ordered my trash to not be picked up.  But I know and my neighbors know Cowen and Macias are vindictive people.  I will do my best to force discovery under a contempt motion with Judge Rolando Olvera.  The city clearly retaliated over the remand while leaving the door open as to whether Omar Ochoa violated my rights.
