Martin Paredes fancies himself a seeker and speaker of the truth - a fair guy just looking out for the taxpayers. In his words he goes after everyone fairly and has no obsession with just certain members of council. Martin claims he's as interested in each council member equally.
That's just not true. He's a paid hack whose mission is to whack Cortney Niland and Ann Lilly for his boss who is pissed they won't give him whatever he wants when he wants it. Martin, like me, Max Powers, Jaime Abeytia and El Paso Speaks has an agenda. He has those he likes and those he doesn't. Like the rest of us bloggers, when he speaks about politics, he's giving you his biased opinion.
There's no problem with having a side - a team - a favorite. Just don't go around claiming that you don't have one. Don't claim to be fair and truthful when your entire premise is built on a lie. Don't be Troy Aikmen calling a Cowboys game.
Here's Martin Paredes recent ORRs:
You'll notice his laser focus on Niland and Lilly. You'll also notice that he has knowledge of everything Rep. Lily Limon has going to the point of knowing what file numbers they have assigned to her ORRs. He and Karla are being directed by Rep. Lily Limon on what to do and when to do it. I may have my favorites on council, but they aren't telling me what to do. Hell, they won't even call me or send an email. I have to run into them in public when I'm in El Paso to get a word out of them.
Have fun!
Yawn....

You mean the two white women, your term, who have been the center of all of the drama on city council for the past few months.

I love the ORR (12 of 25) requesting info from January 14 2015 to October 2014. Don't think they will find anything there since it's not 2015 yet.
