Cornyn: Government is spending too much money. Trevino: They are not spending enough in the Valley.
At a luncheon hosted by the RGV Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Cameron County Judge Eddie Trevi\xf1o was fulsome in his praise of the guest speaker, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn.
\u201cI want to thank you for your professionalism, your bipartisanship and your leadership over some very trying times,\u201d\xa0 Trevi\xf1o told Cornyn.
Later, however, the Trevi\xf1o acknowledged there was daylight between where he and Cornyn stand when it comes to spending by the federal government.\xa0
In a Q&A with moderator Julian Alvarez, senior vice president of Lone Star National Bank, Cornyn said the federal government was spending two much money and criticized two pieces of legislation supported by the Biden Administration that the Rio Grande Valley has benefited from.\xa0
Asked about Cornyn\u2019s comments later, Trevi\xf1o said perhaps the government was spending too much money overall but it was not spending enough in the Valley.
