TOO HOT TO HANDLE said on Wednesday, Feb 10 at 2:21 PM
WAS BLOG TOO HOT TO HANDLE THAT IT WAS REMOVED FROM CURRENT BLOG AND RECENT BLOG. I FEEL SORRY FOR WEBB COUNTY WITH ELECTED OFFICIALS LIKE HER. LAREDO WAKE UP WE ARE IN THE 21TH CENTURY WE CANNOT REMAIN KISSING OUR OFFICIAL BEHIND. WITH EVENTS LIKE THIS EMPLOYEE ARE GOING TO BE AFRAID TO SPEAK UP WHEN INJUSTICES LIKE THIS CONTINUE TO HAPPEN.
37378181ANGRY CITIZEN said on Tuesday, Feb 9 at 8:11 PM
AS ANY OTHER CITIZEN IT FRUSTRATES ME TO HAVE PEOPLE SUCH AS BARRERA MOCK EACH CITIZEN OF LAREDO INCLUDING THE JUDGE WHO GOT HIS LICENSE FROM A CRACKER JACK BOX. WE NEED CHANGE. “I W-A-N-T CHANGE!” I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU BARRERA. YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN A POLITICAL FIGURE TO OUR CITY,,,,,,YET YOU CAN NOT STAND UP TO YOUR OWN ERORS AND APART FROM THAT YOU HAVE NO PEOPLE SKILLS. YOU MIGHT THINK YOU ARE PROVIDING GREAT SERVICE BY HAVING YOUR STAFF FOLLOW EACH AND EVERY ORDER DICATED OUT LOUD BY YOU ON A DAILY BASIS, BUT IT DOES NOT HELP THE LITTLE POLICTIAL IMAGE, IF ANY, THAT YOU HAVE. “SON PERSONAS Y NO SOLDADOS!”
37330539WE ARE HER BOSS IT UP TO US TO GET HER OUT. said on Tuesday, Feb 9 at 5:45 PM
SHE IS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL, THE PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER TO RECALL HER OR NEXT TIME VOTE HER OUT. SHE CANNOT BE LEGALLY FIRED BECAUSE AS WE HEARD SHE REALLY WASN'T FOUND GUILTY OF ANYTHING IMPORTANT. SHE IS VERY SHREWD. SO ITS UP TO US VOTER TO VOICE OUR OPINION.
37321428blame it on who said on Tuesday, Feb 9 at 4:54 PM
whos to blame who ever has the power to remove her and hasn't yet done so. Well we know who not to voter for in the upcoming elections.

Oh and don't be using Gods name in vain. You should be asking him for forgivness and guidance for all the lies and hurt you have caused to your employees and the community. If you know the true meaning of faith. Its easy to say thanks to God without hesitating but to truly know him oh you probably don't since you don't anything about anything. There is a God and you will be punished sooner or later.
37308626Margie said on Tuesday, Feb 9 at 3:44 PM
Well that just goes to show u people like us get prosecuted cuz we're ordinary and people like her get away with practically murder. What else is new here in laredo its who u know and not what u supposedly don't know. Tell that to my kids who know that ignorance is an excuse but for Patricia to say it that just goes to show u the poor mentality and capability to express herself. And to throw the blaim on her employees shows poor leadership. I feel sorry for the people that work for her yet alone her friends, and those officials that contributed to her funding. She broke the law and she should pay just like every ordinary person does. Shame on who ever led her slide thats why we can't trust the sytem blind justice is truly blind.
37305766NOBODY TO BLAME BUT OURSELVES said on Tuesday, Feb 9 at 1:57 PM
THERE IS NO ONE TO BLAME BUT OURSELVES FOR ELECTING PEOPLE LIKE THIS. WE KEEP VOTING FOR THEM BECAUSE WHEN WE NEED A SPECIAL FAVOR WE KNOW THEY WILL BE THERE FOR US. WHO ARE WE KIDDING THOSE SPECIAL FAVORS COST TAXPAYER LIKE YOU AND ME MORE TAXES. THAT MONEY NOT COLLECT BECAUSE WE ARE FRIENDS IS MONEY NOT GOING TO THE COUNTY AND EVENTUALLY WILL BE COMING OUT OF OUR POCKETS. THERE ARE NO FREE RIDES. IT ALSO PUTS A DAMPER ON EMPLOYEE WHO WILL BE AFRAID TO SPEAK OUT BECAUSE THEY WILL BE LEFT HOLDING THE BAG. HOW SAD AND WE USED TO BLAME MAYOR MARTIN FOR THINGS LIKE THIS. ITS BEEN MORE THAN 30 YEARS THAT HAS BEEN OUT AND LAREDO HASN'T CHANGE ITS TACTICS. HOW VERY VERY SAD.

37294148max said on Tuesday, Feb 9 at 9:05 AM

37272524We will elect her again! said on Monday, Feb 8 at 11:25 PM
Sorry, I did not know that chicharrones were bad for my corazon!
37258264Anonymous said on Monday, Feb 8 at 11:11 PM
ARE you serious!!! She didn't know? Why don't we just release Henry Flores!!! I bet if he would have said he didn't know it was a crime to give and eleven year old a ride or show him an adult magazine the idiots that investigated Patrica Barrera's case would have let him go. How many years has Patrica Barrera been in charge of Tax office? Laredo has to get its head of its A** and throw out the trash! Starting with Patrica Barrera.
37257674Integrity anyone? said on Monday, Feb 8 at 3:50 PM
Blind sheep lead to slaughter. Pat makes Laredoans look like horses asses.
37233722Thanks KGNS said on Monday, Feb 8 at 11:58 AM
I know that you are with the people of Laredo, We expect more on this case. Thank you again. and tank you Tim Gutierrez. From Gato Bonito
37216457I am with you said on Monday, Feb 8 at 11:55 AM
I realize that education is the priority of the people of Laredo. count on me!!
37216164CG said on Monday, Feb 8 at 11:00 AM
I want to know why she still has her job? She did commit this "crime" during her working hours.
37212342laredo said on Monday, Feb 8 at 2:41 AM
the only way we will change things is by educating our people. it will take some time, but the hardest people to govern are educated people. we need to change from the bottom up. i ask the people in laredo and webb to educate yourself, you neighbor, and those around you!!! la unica manera para cambiar las cosas son de educar a la gente. se va tomar tiempo, pero la gente mas deficil para governar es la gente educada. Tenemos que cambiar de abajo para arriba. le pido a la gente de laredo y webb que se eduquen, educa tu vecino, y todos alredor de ti!!! ps-pro 8 news dont delete this post. if u do, i will know you r corrupt and i will let the people of laredo know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
37196942FBI ??? said on Monday, Feb 8 at 12:48 AM
Maybe the FBI will investigate if there was "public corruption".
37194837Insurance Please.... said on Monday, Feb 8 at 12:14 AM
How will Pat, with a straight face ask for our insurance when we renew our plates? Will I ask her if she's paid her fine in a rebuttal? Laredoans, Pre-Trial Diversion means that the outcome won't be good for the State or the Defendent. Pat was found in limbo. However, it speaks bad about our local judicial system.
37193927don't have license plates said on Sunday, Feb 7 at 10:08 PM
I did not know that driving without license plates is against the law. hehehehe.

37188019Taco Bell said on Sunday, Feb 7 at 8:23 PM
LIE-REDO STRIKES AGAIN.i DIDN'T KNOW THAT.i THINK IT WAS A wawi QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUE.
37185982Now I know... said on Sunday, Feb 7 at 3:22 PM
Why organized crime do what they do. Our public officials whom are supposed to walk the line fail to do so time and again. I don't condone organized crime, but officials like Pat only encourage criminals whom laugh at us for following like sheep the letter of the law. Off topic: Close down all the maqintas. Councilman Narvaez, have you no shame?
37175697My friend the judge said on Sunday, Feb 7 at 2:07 PM
Who was the judge?? It is clear that the judge was her friend or part of a political good old boy machine, seems like wedid not learn from the Martin lesson. The name of the "friend" who gave her that sentence must be known to the public.
37172624Lier !!!!! MENTIROSA!! said on Sunday, Feb 7 at 1:59 PM
This is the type of politicians that we have in Laredo, They think that the citizens of Laredo are so stupid and ignorant that these crooked politicians can get away with everything and spit at the citizens of Laredo.
37172277john r said on Sunday, Feb 7 at 1:14 PM
so i can break any law and if i get caught just turn everything back and they will drop all charges because i didn't know it was against the law.I will use the barrera law. wow!!! and what a slap to the face of the community when even if you pop a firework u get fined.I still havent heard the major or any public figure say anything on this. are they scared of her?
37170387Meknowsnoting said on Sunday, Feb 7 at 12:42 AM

eres o te haces. Tonta
37142162To What is Fair said on Saturday, Feb 6 at 7:42 PM
The crime is not selling football pots or Raffle tickets if you did it outside the office it is that she forced her employees to buy pots and sell tickets, and the biggest thing is what did she do with ALL THAT MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIFA ENTRE AMIGOS as she so called it. WHAT AMIGOS????????

Sra Patricia llame a su oficina el ultimo dia para pagar las taxas y parecia que estaba llamando no se donde pero la persona que contesto el telefono no podia con su trabajo mal servicio no me pudo ajudar y sedirme cuanto devia en mis propiedades.

37118077John said on Saturday, Feb 6 at 10:21 AM
Well Patty, at least those employees that are there right now won't have to sell any more raffle tickets or football pots! They should be grateful to those ex employees who ratted on you!! Now I wonder what you're going to do next for money, since you aint gettin any more from tickets and pots!! I wonder
37118009Sicko said on Saturday, Feb 6 at 10:14 AM
Patricia, why do you always come out on TV with that evil smurk, always laughing I think you are really possessed, next thing you will be vomiting green slime.
37117652Tax Payer said on Saturday, Feb 6 at 10:10 AM
Now you say you don't know the law, I thought you knew since you were always, telling your employees not to say the raffles were for you! So I guess you ASSUMED!! You know what ASSUME means right!!!
37117504Que Suerte!! said on Saturday, Feb 6 at 10:06 AM
Hey Pat tuviste mas suerte que Martha Stewart! Porque nunca dijiste la verdad, pero haya esta un dios que de ese nadie se escapa, ni tu!!
37117309Im not guilty@#@!@ said on Saturday, Feb 6 at 10:00 AM
Hey Pat you're not found guilty!!! Then why are you on probation for a year and have to pay a fine!! Just admit it you have a pact with the devil!!! You demon lady!!! And its about the service not anymore, those rookies you have as employees just don't cut it!!! I can't wait for your next election to see you loose!!
37117087whatisfair said on Saturday, Feb 6 at 9:42 AM
I didn't know murder was illegal ... Can I go now Judge ... Geez .. She's laughing at Webb County and I'm pretty sure looking for payback ... No doubt .
37116254Santos said on Saturday, Feb 6 at 8:26 AM
Pat "esta tapada" but in Laredo this stupidity works very well. As I keep saying, this is why Laredo is the laughing stock of the state and probably the country. Viva Laredo (Little Mexico)!
37113162to the employees said on Saturday, Feb 6 at 3:18 AM
It is now the time to bring charges against her for violating your rights under federal law.
37107842Gary The Mentally Challenged Boy said on Saturday, Feb 6 at 2:01 AM
Good for you, Pat. Just keep up your good work. This will blow over. All is forgotten, all is forgiven.
37106689I just paid my County Taxes.... said on Saturday, Feb 6 at 1:40 AM
this way Pat can defend herself next time she breaks the law.
37106302And to boot.....she said on Saturday, Feb 6 at 1:37 AM
used our taxes to defend herself.....wow, Susan Powter, where are you?
37106237Gee officer, I didn't know texting... said on Saturday, Feb 6 at 1:36 AM
while driving was agasint the law?
37106192I didn't know murder was a crime? said on Saturday, Feb 6 at 1:33 AM
This is just making me sick!
37106144Release the Hounds!!!! said on Saturday, Feb 6 at 1:27 AM
This little charade will only encourage other public servents to break the law. Nice going Pat, I hope that you're happy because its going to get really ugly thanks to you. I encourage all registered voters to participate in our next elections and throw all these corrupt bums out.
37106004There goes 1g said on Saturday, Feb 6 at 1:23 AM
I lost 1000 bucks. I had a wager that Pat would do time and removed from office. Next time I get pulled over, and I find myself wasted drunk, I'm going to tell the judge "I didn't know it was against the law to drive drunk?"
37105924who was the judge ?? said on Saturday, Feb 6 at 1:23 AM
anyone??
37105907How about the employees??? said on Saturday, Feb 6 at 1:12 AM
All employees who filed a lawsuit are getting $1,000,000 thanks to this corrupt "public servant" and her stupidity. Thinking that she was above the Law just because she had a top position is what drains the webb county of its resources.
37105692Shame to Laredo said on Saturday, Feb 6 at 12:37 AM
This is just the most stupid thing I ever heard. and they try to enforce the Law?? These corrupt clowns must get out, resign, quit for thinking that the people of Laredo is so stupid to believe that. The people of Laredo need to organize and clean every position in the webb county.

In a Criminal Justice course you learn that ignorance of the law is "no excuse".
