VOICE:...what RGV residents call "Leaders" are really opportunists. A "Leader" is someone who will draw willing followers. What Valley "Leader" has true followers? We cannot think of one. Elected officials win with such low voter turn-outs that to call them "Leaders" is to devalue the word... - Editor
