Cornyn: Government is spending too much money. Treviño: They are not spending enough in the Valley.

At a luncheon hosted by the RGV Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Cameron County Judge Eddie Treviño was fulsome in his praise of the guest speaker, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn.“I want to thank you for your professionalism, your bipartisanship and your leadership over some very trying times,”  Treviño told Cornyn.Later, however, the Treviño acknowledged there was daylight between where he and Cornyn stand when it comes to spending by the federal government. 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. Asked about Cornyn’s comments later, Treviño said perhaps the government was spending too much money overall but it was not spending enough in the Valley.Editor's Note: Go to the Rio Grande Guardian International News Service website to read the full story.Go to www.riograndeguardian.com to read the latest border news stories and watch the latest news videos.
