In Episode 14 of the Now You Know Eagle Pass podcast, “Juice,” I open with a reality-check segment on accountability, fairness, and the pressures of local politics. I share my background—service in the Army, community work with veterans, animal welfare, youth programs, and local small business promotion—to underline why we push for transparency. From there, we dig into recent community flashpoints: alleged efforts to pressure sponsors and youth programs over our coverage, the line between criticism and personal attacks, and the importance of keeping kids and small businesses out of political retaliation.

We then tackle headline local issues: the silence from the Maverick County Hospital District amid questions surrounding board member Stephanie Valdez’s probation status and public conduct; concerns about professionalism after a widely shared video of city officials appearing to drink while representing Eagle Pass; and questions about potential political staging at school board and city council meetings. We stress due process, factual sourcing, and community standards for leaders—without fear or favor. We close by urging constructive dialogue, civic participation, and safety during upcoming Halloween events, reinforcing that our mission is to inform and strengthen Eagle Pass by holding leaders accountable and keeping the community engaged.
