Miguel Suazo, the Democratic Party's nominee to go up against Republican Land Commissioner George P. Bush in November is getting some praise from an unlikely source.
Jerry Patterson, former Texas Land Commissioner and a former state senator, praised Suazo in a June 16 Facebook post, slamming Bush, who defeated him in this year's primary race, as being untrustworthy.
At issue is the removal of a statue - the cenotaph - near the Alamo historic site in San Antonio. Bush has proposed and championed a plan to "re-imagine" the Alamo and perform some major renovations, including moving the cenotaph to another location nearby. Legend has it that the ashes of those killed at the Alamo rest near or even directly under the cenotaph.
Patterson praises Suazo's campaign video, titled "The Alamo must be Remembered, not Re-imagined," in which he says the cenotaph should not be moved.
"At least the Democrat gets it right. The cenotaph stays where it is and transparency returns. No hiding behind non profit corporations. Can we trust this guy? I don't know the answer to that question. Can we trust George P Bush? I do know the answer to that question. JP"The management of the site was also taken from the Daughters of the Republic of Texas and given to several non-profit groups under Bush. All have proven extremely controversial, especially with Republicans, which has caused division within the party.
