Three Cameron County Constables may be out of a job soon. They are demanding answers as to why the county commisioners are proposing the elimination of their precincts to consolidate with the 4 that would remain.
The Constables say if their precincts are combines with the others their residents will be left out in the cold.
Cameron County commisioner Dan Sanchez says the proposed consolidation of the precincts will benefit the taxpayers of the county, saving the, roughly 280 thousand dollars if the 3 constable positions and the costs of their offices and vehicles are eliminated.
As for the safety of the communities in the precincts being considered for consolidation, sanchez says residents will remain protected because none of the deputies will be pulled from their positions they will just serve under four constables instead of seven.
