Extra Extras, Inc. is a temporary common worker employer that is licensed by the state of texas...."Common worker" means an individual who performs labor involving physical tasks that do not require: (A) a particular skill; (b) training in a particular occupation, craft, or trade; or (c) practical knowledge of the principles or processes of an art, science, craft, or trade.
Well our mayor pro temp. Johnny Cuellar has such a company and it just got licensed by the state of texas about 6months ago...prior to that he still had the company and was operating without a license. The question is if Johnny Cuellar uses is influence and vote to award city contracts to companies like: OMI, CDM, ALLIED WASTE ETC.ETC..then that is unethical and a major conflict of interest...I hope that is not what happen with the Waste contract that got given to Allied waste without going out for bids and this happen right after Johnny Cuellar got majority of the commission...I have requested that contract and the minutes of the vote which I will post for you all to view...
He will argue that he does not owe 10 percent or more of the stock of the business entity but the real question is did he received from that business entity an amount above 10 perecent of his gross income for the previous year.? Regardless of the percentage if he did not disclose his business affiliation with all the companies he has a relationship then he has violated the law according chapter 176 of the local government code......below is a link to chapter 176.

Johnny Cuellar is the President, sole director, and registered agent of Extra, Extras Inc. who does business with companies like: Allied Waste, CDM,OMI, and others..he provides workers to these companies and most of these companies have and have had contracts with the city of Weslaco and other municipalities where Johnny has voted and influence the vote to get them the contracts and thus he gets his workers hired and thus he makes money...He needs to have disclosure statements on all of these companies he has a business relationship and/or affiliation regardless of whether those employees work on sites under the domain of the city...The companies have to have a conflict of interest questionnaire with the city also...Johnny has to have a conflict of interest statement filed for each entity on filed with the city and if he nor the company have that then they have violated the law Chapter 176 of the local government code....
I was always wondering why people were saying that Johnny would say, "if I go down I am taking everyone down with me".......In the future Johnny please do not vote on this contracts and if they still get awarded then there is nothing wrong with that as long as it was the most responsible and qualified bidder and it was cost effective for the city....
