City Council is cutting off...Fresno

Is Fresno’s government only good for having improperly timed traffic lights installed and approving more park-free developments? As far as the City Council thinks, that’s all they’re there for. Since when did we elect a Libertarian government?

Not only does the City Council not want to deal with Fresno's upcoming lack of a public ice-rink, they’ve grown bored of helping Playland and Storyland stay afloat. In the words of classic Fresno conservative and City Council Member Jerry Duncan “In this day and age, you better have your act together or you’re going to struggle.”

So listen up all non-money making things in Fresno. The “day and age” of dicking around with the city’s money is over. Duncan and the rest of Fresno’s City Council are watching you and you better get your shit together.

Things like parks, ice-rinks and Storyland. Does Fresno need such frivolous undertakings? We’ve got a Cheesecake Factory and the electronic-billboard-having intersection of Blackstone and Shaw to keep up our quality of life. Parks equal to no money in the city’s pocket so get rid of them.

Yea, you know what, this is sounding good, those Libertarians are right. Fuck it all. Let’s fill in the Underground Gardens with cement and let somebody build a Loan Mart. Let Downtown’s Water Tower crumble to the ground and just leave it. And what kind of revenue has Woodward Park been bringing in lately? Stupid lazy grass and trees. Give that land to the Zinkin or Bonadelle family so they can build some more houses and Starbucks.

What about the fuckin’ libraries Fresno has all over town? City libraries with their loan-books-out-for-free-policies; where’s the money in that? Fresnans should just go stand in the isle of Barnes & Noble if they want to read something for free. Get your shit together libraries, you’re on your own now.

Oh, and costly road signs, not necessary. I don’t need some arrogant prick sign telling me where I’m at! I know I’m at Bullard and West you stupid sign. Fuck off.

Wait, let’s not forget the Fresno City Council. They've been sucking the city dry with their paychecks. Let’s just get rid of their no-revenue-making-asses and keep helping pay for Storyland/Playland to stay open.

    Psssst ..... most likely, the City needs to get into the sewer lines. Once targeted, there is no way around them. See my website:

    What has already been done throughout Fresno, right under our noses, is beyond belief. And tragic.
