“What better way to welcome guests to Laredo, Texas than with a group of friendly Laredo volunteer ambassadors,” said Mayor Salinas. “Everyone who is passionate about their community is encouraged to submit an application. The Laredo Ambassador Program will allow you to get more involved with the latest events, conferences, tournaments and the list goes on!”

I found it interesting that the passage I posted above is attributed to Mayor Salinas. No biggie you might think. But on the Visit Laredo site (click on link above), the same passage appears but with no quotes or mention that it comes from the mayor. This could be an example of the mayor having a ghost writer. And it might be a clue about how involved he is with city matters.
I would like to take this opportunity to summon all my BOLAS (Blogs of Laredo Association c/S) brethren to unite and come up with ideas about being ambassadors for this fair city. Let the suggestions fly!

I know of some soon to unemployed beer run employees that the city could hire.
Orale!
Oooh I like NMF's idea. They can all wear City of Laredo t-shirts and have it tied up to their boobies. And what better way to cool off from the Laredo heat than to have a wet t-shirt contest (with some beer event in there somewhere)! Mami Chula's has represented Laredo well in the past. How can this possibly be a bad idea? :P
Damn. You two stole my idea.

___i want to join the Laredo La Sanbe Revolucionarios, nominate Tricia Cortez for "la Presidenta", let us stick together or we will hang separately" lo dijo T.J. (1776)
Where to start? A tour of the Bottles of Urine Boulevard or the homeless district, How about our boarded-up downtown-we can have a demonstration on how to board up your place for those who live along the coast and are bracing for a hurricane and all at a cost of only $400,000.
No, no, wait.. how about a tour of where a wetland used to be ????
or, how about a tour of the outside mall that was going up at the intersection of Hwy 82 N and IH 35? si?
How about a tour of laredo's own white house a/k/a mayor martin house on clark blvd, and continue to the ranch on mangana hein rd with ranch roads were allegedly paved by the city ?? 60 minutes found it intresting.....
tricia cortez for mayor !!!
I'm going to send in my application along with a video tape of me opening the door for customers at a local convenience store.
It has to be mandatory for all to wear a Salinas mustache.
How about Mayor Salinas with boobie tasels? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
___You all are missing the Boat, the purrfect hostesses to host visitors to Laredo are the currently unemployed but still vivacious scantily clad muchachas who formerly were underemployed by Mami Chula's and other drive thru's. Hiring them as the city's ambassadoras will allow them more EXPOSURE, AND DON'T WE ALL WANT THAT.
is mayor salinas the same as Mr. Potato Head ? no, really ?
I nominate Jay St. John as His Royal Highness Top Dog Ambassador of Laredo ! That title and 2 bucks will get you a cup of coffee.
Call the mayor when he's on a legislative trip sometime and ask him questions. You can hear someone feeding him lines in the background. Happens every time.
Ah, Jay St. John. He calls Killam a crybaby, and says he's not on the Khaledi's side, yet 99.3 runs KRK commercials all day long. Glad to see some people don't change.
Im sure if killam advertised in 99.3, they would take his money too. equal opportunity. st john has no sayso on who does and doesn't advertise there. you are giving st john too much credit.
KR: "opening doors" only if you wear a WBCA colonial costume with white powdered wig and huaraches!
I have only two questions, and hoping someone can answer them. 1. what are the qualifications to be ambassador? 2.Who are the persons on the board that decides who is in or out?
