Fresno’s mayor should resign

The political rhetoric is fun in Fresno.

Our termed-out mayor, Ashley Swearengin, supports transparency and council approval for bonuses, but it’s kind of late for that.

Accountability isn’t enough. If our mayor worked in the private sector and pulled her no-tell bonus policy, she would be terminated.

Our mayor should now do the right thing after doing the wrong thing. Resign!

Marc Chenault, Fresno
