Featured EDITORIAL: Transparency of troubled Community Service Agency appreciated
No one should take pleasure when a government agency fails at its tasks, especially one that is designed to help low-income residents. But we should take pleasure when government leaders realize there are inefficiencies, restructure their agencies and reach out for help. Such is the case recently in Hidalgo County with the Community Service Agency, a county-run office that is supposed to distribute federal grant money to residents in need, but apparently one that has failed to properly administer $3.3 million in federal funds over three years that were supposed to help pay indigent residents’ electricity and propane bills. Last month, Hidalgo County Judge Ramon Garcia publicly admonished the agency’s longtime executive director, Maribel Navarro Saenz, for not distributing all available funds to the needy here.
