More on G-Unit
So last week when I stopped by Socorro admin building and I saw Jesse Gandara strutting around with his cousin and newly elected City Rep Anthony Gandara, it was also the day of the swearing-in.
You would've thought Jesse Gandara and his crowd just won March Madness. He attended the swearing in, as did another Gandara acolyte, Refugio "Fugi" Orta. They have kept a pretty low profile
around Socorro since they were arrested so some were surprised when they showed up to the swearing in. Yet another ominous sign for Anthony Gandara.
A friend of mine said she overheard Orta tease another city rep saying, "I thought you said the Gandaras would never get elected again".
The reality is that the election didn't change the math on the Socorro city council so there was no organized opposition to the Gandaras. Jesse probably hasn't put that together yet. But think about it, that seat has been a Gandara seat for a long time. Jesse should've won re-election in a cake walk. He's younger, has more name ID, thinks he's smarter, etc. But nope, he got a beat down from a man in his 80's with an anglo last name. That happened because of one of two reasons. Either Bowling was super organized, or Jesse was just that reviled. Probably a combination of the two.
So not sure why G-Unit is celebrating.
But the fear everyone now has is if Anthony Gandara is going to be the second coming of Jesse.
If Jesse is going to be an influence he will have the good sense to keep his distance. I wouldn't expect to see him show up to city council meetings and such.
Oh well, hopefully I'll run into him at a city council meeting or something. I have lots to ask to Jesse about...
