Announcing...

Mike Oz over at the Beehive announced some of the concerts coming to this years Fresno Fair! One of which is....



MC Hammer! I remember waiting with my stepdad for this video to premiere on tv. I loved MC Hammer but that was pre-Death Row records (gansta). So that makes me ask what is going to be in that concert? I would take some of kids to the nice Hammer but not the hard-core one.

But go see who else is coming to the Fair!

Congrats!

I just want to congratulate Nathan Magsig on his re-election to the Clovis City Council! Now I do wonder what it says that both incumbents won but the tax hike they backed didn't.

IPA or No IPA?

Independent Police Auditor, this is something that Mayor Autry requested many times in his tenure as mayor of Fresno and the issue has now returned. Every few months it seems something crazy happens in the Fresno Police Department and this issue comes back. I hear about about the officers that may have gone over board (and had the misfortune of being caught on tape) and the unit that got disassembled. It makes the idea of having someone keep and eye on FPD sound pretty good.

Then I read Brian Calhoun's reasoning for not hiring an IPA. I must say that he made a lot of sense, especially when talking about what they would do all year.

What would an Office of the IPA (generally an attorney with staff assistants) do 365 days a year? It is only human nature (and job self preservation) to appear busy. My guess is that the IPA would be a magnet for every disgruntled person wanting to contest a parking or speeding ticket. It would constantly be second-guessing elected officials, the chief of police and, possibly, the courts and grand jury. And how would this additional oversight operation differ from the City Attorney's office, staffed as it is with well-paid, competent attorneys that are fully prepared to investigate possible police malfeasence?

Calhoun also talks about Chief Jerry Dyer handling these situations well as the arise. I haven't seen anything that makes me question how Chief Dyer handles issues. My problem is why do these things keep happening? That is the argument for Fresno City to employ an Independent Auditor. But I think Calhoun has a great point. So couldn't we just bring in a consultant or someone on a short contract? Someone to analyze why these things keep happening and that exact the kind f institutional change that might be needed? Because what is going on now just doesn't seem to be helping.

Fulton Farmers Market

The kids and I went to the Famers Market on downtown today and it was great! They had awesome prices that were way better than any of the other Famers Markets that I have gone to. There was even parking in the same lot at the market! The Market was on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday from 7am-2pm. It is at 1612 Fulton St and you can call 227-8026.

Go check it out!
