With a Mayoral-Board showdown looming on the horizon, over 100 housing activis...

Sophie Maxwell still does not get it and never will - T-third is not working! T-third Street Light rail is not working and Sophie Maxwell still does not get it. It is as if everything is fine - the woman must be on something. 45 minute delays are now the norm and people are forced to take cars and other means of transportation to work and school. So much for people taking Public Transportation and so much of a fail system that cost over $700 million....

With Friends Like These . . . 
Rev Larry Arce, chief executive officer of the Rescue Mission, sends his “disciples” out to destroy homeless peoples property. Homeless people have lost their tents, clothes, medicine, and nearly everything they own in these periodic raids conducted by the Rescue Mission. Arce tells the homeless people who complain about his actions that he has the blessing of the city to “clean up” the streets of downtown Fresno. A California Public Records Act request shows that Arce is bluffing - no suc...

Daily hard working tax paying passengers wait, and wait and wait for the T-Third to show up on time for work, school and to go places. The delays are longer and people are frustrated....
