How depressing. The Fresno City Council wants “more drive-thrus!”

After decades of bad air quality finally beginning to subside, all the hard work of previous administrations can be turned around in a few bad decisions. City leaders, please think twice about this one. And think of your children and grandchildren with inhalers and chronic asthma while you’re making your decision.
