Every Thursday, a group of home schooling parents and their kids gather at the Keith Tice Park across from Clovis West High School.  Today was no exception, and I had the pleasure of joining the moms and dads to learn more about the issues important to them in our city.  Increasing parks and green space was a topic of great interest.  Not surprisingly, air quality was a big concern.  These parents also expressed frustration with the overly political nature of our local government.  That’s a common refrain I hear from Fresno residents as I attend neighborhood meetings, walk precincts, and get comments back on my Voter Survey (click here to take the survey).  I’m committed to bringing an independent voice to City Hall as the next Mayor of Fresno.
