Two former county judges, political opponents face off

I feel that this is important for my home town politics, and also for us students to see that within our local politics comes a form of greed that touches everyone. I had done some volunteer work for Mr Garcia's during a political campaign for county judge in 2003. He is a candidate, with a "call of duty", that does not pull in a paycheck while serving in public office. As for the other, it is quite different. During his administration, he purposed a substantial increase in pay for himself. If only our politicians from state and local governments were to do the same, maybe citizen would feel more confident in there elected officials. This race we be good for the county of Hidalgo, Texas. This should also pull out many registered voters who have voted but not been active. Its a heated race between two distinguished democrats who have major influences in Hidalgo County politics.
