Denham might be happier in northeast
Thank you for your informative Sunday editorial, "Denham betrays the Valley." California's 10th Congressional District Rep. Jeff Denham, "chairman of the U.S. House subcommittee that oversees the nation's railways," believes that the first $6 billion should go to Amtrak's Northeast Corridor. I have a suggestion for Mr. Denham.
Seven years ago, I moved to the Fresno area from the Boston area. I am very happy here and think of California as my home. I think that I live in a wonderful area with friendly, caring people. Likewise, in the Boston area there are many lovely areas with friendly, caring people.
Perhaps California Rep. Denham would be happier living on the East Coast in the Boston area. He should consider resigning and moving to the East Coast to represent his, apparently, more desirable constituents. I would be happy to facilitate his move by offering suggestions for his anticipated relocation.

Downtown needs outlets, free parking
Regarding Frank Hoffinger's suggestion on bringing outlets to the Fulton Mall (letter June 15): I think it's a good idea, but the downtown area also needs to quit charging for parking. All of the malls in Fresno and Clovis, along with the outlets in other towns, have free parking. Why would anyone...

Spare the budget and the concrete
With the failure of Measure G and the mayor's big scramble to tell us that the police and fire ranks will be decimated -- the usual cry from any government denied more tax monies -- why can't other city functions be cut?

Guard dogs must be trained, disciplined
A June 15 letter writer suggested that adopting an aggressive dog would deter property crime. It seems like an efficient way to discourage potential criminals, but it may have dangerous results. First of all, a dog has no way to distinguish from a harmless visitor and a malicious intruder. A dog...

Arming Syrian rebels is a big mistake
I am outraged that our leaders in Washington, D.C., have decided to support, arm and aid Syrian rebels, also known as al-Nusra. These fighters are nothing other than al-Qaida organized in Syria seeking to overthrow the government of President Bashar Assad. They are killers of freedom, Christians...

Is sweetheart police deal next for Fresno?
Well, what are you going to do now, Fresno? You voted down a viable and real cure to our budget problems. I presume that all of you "no" voters stepped up at Thursday's City Council meeting with solid ideas. What's that? You didn't? How about the three council members who were against Measure G, ...

End the blame game and fix the budget
So the voters have spoken, no matter how many voted. Did the city officials and union representatives listen? I hope they did and what they heard was stop fighting and blaming each other and start fixing the problem. A balanced approach of cuts and revenue is possible if we stop the blame game.

Wrong place for summer reading event
Why is the library holding its Summer Reading Program kickoff at the San Joaquin River Parkway ranch house out on Friant Road? How does this serve the greater number? I'm not aware of the bus line that serves that "neighborhood," but then if the children can't drive, let them walk. This program ...
