Jerry Dyer

It comes after ICE agents in the Central Valley captured a worker in Madera yesterday.

Fresno Mayor Jerry Dyer.

to not cast a wide net, but to surgically remove those individuals that are the worst of the worst and avoid doing this type of enforcement in the presence of children.

The

If we continue to kick this can down the road and we don't adjust our utility rates, then at some point in time we're gonna look back and say, "Why don't we have money to replace our underground infrastructure?"

Mayor Jerry Dyer says the proposal comes after eight years without a water rate increase and 16 years without a wastewater rate increase.

He says that while reserves remain healthy and some infrastructure projects have already been funded, the city must plan for future needs.

In an Action News update, the man charged with the stabbing of a deputy district attorney in downtown Fresno appeared before a judge yesterday.

Some Democrats also blaming Trump for how expensive everything has gotten.

Fresno Mayor Jerry Dyer is in Armenia for the next few days, strengthening the connection between the two communities.

Yesterday, he got to tour the Armenian Genocide Memorial in Yerevan.

The memorial honors the one and a half million Armenians killed in the ethnic attack beginning in 1915.

It's the best time of year, in my opinion.

Mayor Jerry Dyer says that...

The state of California has awarded Fresno a few years back a quarter of a billion dollars, $250 million for improvements on infrastructure and other things in downtown Fresno.

Where has that money gone and what specifically have we have we used that money for in downtown?

We've seen all of these different policies and laws and all these things that have come into place.

I think we have selected leaders, you know, very selective leaders and politicians that continue like Senator Shannon Grove, our Mayor Jerry Dyer, our law enforcement that sees it so prevalent here in our area that really tries to prioritize those things.

But I do think that the voice of victims has started to be drowned out amongst other things, especially since the COVID pandemic.

Central Valley Against Human Trafficking reported 2,162 human trafficking victims in the valley between 2010 and 2023, with about 85% of these victims being sex trafficked.

And so, you know, they're, uh, they're faced with a little more complexity than the rest of the county voters.

And I do think that Jerry Dyer and the city council made a wise decision to go in that direction because their transit agency relies so heavily on those transit dollars through measure C.

So I say kudos to them, bravo to them for thinking ahead.

Well, you know, Jerry Dyer's position to me has always been, "I need money."

Well.

Bad money's better than no money.
