Linda Perez lost her leg when a drunk driver smashed into her motorcycle 10 years ago. That drunk driver is the new interim city manager in Elsa.
Perez learned to live life with a prosthetic leg. A recent fall, took that away. Perez now depends on a walker, and can't use her hands while standing.
Perez hides no frustration when talking about Elsa's new interim city manager Javier Rodriguez.
And fishy is what others describe the appointment of Rodriguez to interim city manager. Some say he got the job because he's a family member of Elsa city commisioner Eli Rodriguez.
Eli Rodriguez says the two are 4th or 5th cousins, and are not breaking any rules. Mayor Al Perez was the only person to vote against hiring Rodriguez.
Rodriguez also served as city mayor in La Villa. La Villa's mayor confirms Rodriguez was voted out. He says Rodriguez was holding the city back economically. Perez says Rodriguez has held her bacl from living life how she wants.
