Voters initiate recall election BROWNSVILLE (AP) — Three city com missioners known as the "Three Amigos" are the target of a recall drive by Brownsville voters. The commissioners. Butch Barbosa, a deputy clerk of the U.S. District Court; Wil liam Garza, an accountant; and Pete Bena vides, who owns a driving school, make up a majority vote on the five-member council. The recall movement was ignited by the privatization of the city's sanitation depart ment and an unsuccessful effort by the three commissioners to build a new conven tion center without voter approval. "This is a grassroots movement, the mus cle is there to get them out, and we will do it eventually," said Pat Ahumada, a business man who organized the recall drive. The Brownsville city charter allows a re call election if one-fourth of the registered voters request it. Ahumada said ne has 4,000 of the 10,000 signatures he needs to force the election. The recall drive is the second under way on the Texas-Mexico border. In Donna, ef forts are afoot to recall Mayor Hector Ca- siano. Barbosa and Benavides were elected in November 1989 and formed an alliance with Garza, who was elected in 1987. Early last year, the three officials quickly moved to re- * nre mar board," Mayor Ygnacio Garza said. "I think a lot of things they have done have been detrimental to the city of Brownsville," he told the Houston Chroni cle. Mayor Garza and Commissioner Tony Zavalata have frequently found themselves on the losing end of a 3-2 vote, including one on the dismissal of the Brownsville rity manager after the November election. The "Three Amigos" say the drive is an and nre managers put in vise city programs place by the previous commission. "I don't think tl act of revenge by politicians they defeated. c the city of Brownsville is better off than it was in November 1989 since the new commissioners came on 'g e . . Barbosa charged the recall election was being orchestrated by former city commis sioners Robert Lackner and Harry McNair, who were defeated by William Garza and Benavides. 1.90 NICO rebels se using vi tiytobr northerr Spoke ghting ussein lolding Iraqi tro Basra, K Iraq's papers revolt i.
