Now that former Midland, Texas, city manager Rick Menchaca is about to clear nearly half a million dollars from the city, it brings to mind that infamous quote of his: if any employees went over his head he would "cut them off at the knees." He probably wouldn't have physically mutilated them, but given his cash demands of the city, if he said that one wonders exactly what he would have done.
But let's put that aside for the moment and revisit some other quotes. It wasn't too long ago that Mr. Menchaca's friends were on the pages of the local paper singing his praises. One in particular, local business man and former city council member, Jose Cuevas, was quoted as saying that Mr. Menchaca has "100 percent of my confidence and 100 percent of my support."
Did you say that, Mr. Cuevas? If so, what say you now?
