We have a new mayor

Ashley Swearengin was sworn in at city hall this morning, along with new City Council Members Andreas Borgeas and Lee Brand.

Exciting times, no?

Also: did anyone attend the inaugural unity event last night? I'm interested in hearing what people thought.

This one just gets funnier everytime I read it.

But its old news Mike Dages opened the aluminum closet door when he was running for Mayor. But most of you just didn't understand what Dages said about her.
My question is why do Mexican drag queens think they look sexy dressing as Carmen Miranda?

Maybe they were telling the Truth....

Maybe they were dressed as police because they were coming from a costume party at a the Red Lantern or just did a drag show.
Maybe they felt sorry for the homeless children out on the street late at night.
Mabey they bought toys, candy and happy meals to pass out to the children out of the goodness of their heart.

I hope the Judge has a big heavy book to throw at them.

Dam Skippy!!!!

There would be issues and complications if they attacked gays and drag queens. I don't think they want to risk any political surprises coming out."

I guess you know something about Perea Jr. closeted lifestyle?
so, he's not just a crybaby, but a dragqueen then?

Here we go another black eye for the gay community

Just because a few stupid sick individuals decide to go hunting children people blame the whole gay community.
As someone aware of the two sick gay men involved, I find it sad and disgusting.
http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/mostpopular/news-article.aspx?storyid...
Now the Prop 8 supporters will make them their new poster boys against gay marriage.
I think its sad the media only shows these gay stereotypes like this drag queen and his buddy identified on one newscast as Fresno Woman.
When is the gay community going to stand up against these negative stereotypes and stop letting right-wing conservatives Christians stereotype them. When are we going to see stable normal gay relationships on the news instead of freaks.
Like I stated before these men are sick and should be locked away.
One is already convicted sex offender the other is just plain stupid. This proves sex offenders will never stop and can't be rehabilitated. They just were not impersonating police, they had kids toys and Happy Meals. They were actively seeking a child.
But as things go in Fresno they will both probably end up as Grand Marshall's in the Gay Pride Parade or staring on a bar float in the parade.
As for Mr Perea and his boy, I don't think either one of them wants to risk the wrath of the Gay Community in their repeated grabs for political power. There would be issues and complications if they attacked gays and drag queens. I don't think they want to risk any political surprises coming out.

Provide some links, please.

Otherwise you just sort kinda rant-y. And people tend to ignore rants.

You all attacked Mayor Ashley when she went after sex offenders.

How come no one has said anything about the two gay perverts looking for kids and pretending to be police officers? One is a registered sex offender and a well known drag queen in the gay community. Yet people still insist on protecting this imorality. Even though both perverts were dressed to apper as police and had a flashing light on the jeep.
The Mayor of Fresno should not have to lead a fight against sex offenders.
That should be the head of the County Boasrd of Supervisors job. Where is Henry (I will say anything to get your vote) Perea? Why hasn't he taken a stand against sex offenders. This wasn't a first time thing. This drag queen child molester is a repeat offender. Is Henry busy conspiring to get his son into the State Assembly? The spoiled little rich boy? I wonder what negitve nasty stuff they will try too pull in the election.
I bet Sarah Reyes will be tough on sex offenders. Especialy repeat offenders.

Word on the street is a Jr loser wants a higher office.

Seems he had a meeting at Starbuck's about having someone followed by a private investigator. Why disguise yourself in jeans and an old sweater. Can someone be preparing another mud slinging election campaign? Do we really want career mud slinging family politicians? Maybe if spoiled little rich bois would come "out" and get a reality check they'd be more accepted. Stop being daddy's hand puppet.
Now everybody be sure to vote for Sarah Reyes.
We don't want the old spider monkey and his hand puppet in the Assembly.
They might start slinging more then mud.

Maybe she can clean up the slum apartment on Huntington

All those apartments behind Holmes playground betweem First and the Freeway are a mess.
They are falling apart. Packed full of people in violastion of fire codes. Trash is piled everywhere. Sewers over flow. Is this the image of Fresno we want people heading Downtown to see?
And its only 4 blocks from City Hall
Can someome start a blogof problems that need fixed in Fresno?

Already they are attacking her for her plan for sex offenders.

I for one am tired of this nonsense that "They served thier time".
I think they should be monitered for life and thier picture posted in the lobby of any school they live by.
They are a danger to society for the rest of thier life.
But I suppose that will be next on the ballot the perverts wanting to lower the age of consent.

Can we finally get the old Hanoian's Shopping Center torn down?

Mrs Swearengin is promising to clean up the City. It has stood empty scince 2001. The roof is rotton, plumbing and wiring are bad. The fire sprinklers are bad. This building has been slowy falling apart since it was built in 1952. Why are the Hanoian's given special treatment by code enforcement? The City is suing vacant building owners on the Fulton Mall. Will it take another 20 years or the roof falling in before the city condemds Hanoian's or sues them to fix the buildings?

Did Perea Jr. ever concede?

Is the gurl still sulking?
Hopefully he wont try to run for some other seat once he terms "out" on the council.
The spoiled lil rich gurl has never had a real job in his whole life.

Mayor

It is an exciting time in Fresno.

I think her appointments to the downtown team show she is committed to making downtown a priority. It won't be an easy job with this economy, but I really get the sense that good things are coming.

I wish her and her team the best of luck.

Abe Lopez

P.S. Even with the great team in place, we all still need to do our part in making downtown what WE want it to be.
