Well, if the city is going to let them manage a multi-million dollar facility that was paid for with tax-payer money, then- yes, that's very good financial backing.<br /><a href="http://www.faisalabadfabricstore.com/black-salwar-kameez-for-women-and-men/" rel="nofollow">girl black salwar kameez</a><br /><a href="http://www.faisalabadfabricstore.com/black-salwar-kameez-for-women-and-men/" rel="nofollow">black salwar suit women's</a>Darren Demershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08050776248828465230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8263319419466632140.post-29841097168171748872011-11-30T08:20:07.186-06:002011-11-30T08:20:07.186-06:00sounds like that old saying "Le das ride y qu...sounds like that old saying "Le das ride y quiere manejar". I give credit to Rangel for making a motion to table the whole deal but it only got 3 votes. So, is the boycott still on? Or will the broker association work with Garros after all? <br /><br />MaximilianoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8263319419466632140.post-44966354619479417852011-11-29T17:44:24.599-06:002011-11-29T17:44:24.599-06:00Well, well, the hits just keep on coming....The gr...Well, well, the hits just keep on coming....The group who landed the deal is associated with Eduardo Garza, a Mexican broker who flies the city council back and fourth to Central America.<br /><br />The idea that there will be a "non-competition" clause preventing the operators from seeking business from those whose frieght they unload is out the window. Eduardo will not be a signatory to that and hence, can steal all the business he wants. He himself wants in the cold storage business, which the city is building for him at the airport.

All I did was point out what it's costing tax payers. I usually do that with overpaid city county employees. IT's for the taxpayers to know exactly who's on their payroll.

Are they "only" going to house product that is flagged for inspection by USDA? If that is the case, why even have a private company run the facility? Why not use the same process that is used at the non-frozen product unloading area? Utilize CBP approved stevedores to unload and reload the trucks. No profit is made, and no un-neccesary charges a applied to the inspection. <br /><br />The problem, as best as I can tell from the paper is that the city wants to lease the facility. USDA (really US GAO) does not want to lease it, so the city sets up a deal with a private operator. <br /><br />The problem here is "sweetheart" dealing, or at least the impression of special favors enters into the problem. <br /><br />The city should have built and donated the facility to CBP and USDA for operation. The money that the city makes on bridge operations could pay the $2 million easily. And with the increased usage of the bridge, more revenue will come through Laredo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8263319419466632140.post-2594969577893003112011-11-27T21:34:23.692-06:002011-11-27T21:34:23.692-06:00Wow you seem to know a lot on the subject.

Forget the shady deal that has been brewing for years between UniTrade and city officials, now knowing SR Forwarding is involved should raise enormous concern in the industry as this man is notorious for poaching clients offering fees well below market standards with his sales pitch being nothing more than trashing fellow brokers. Guess that works if you're being subsidized with cronyism courtesy of of exemplary local officials. If that doesn't scream shady business practices, I don't what does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
