‘I’m ashamed’ of trash on freeways

I travel Freeway 41 regularly and I’m ashamed. This highway to the beautiful Yosemite National Park, that people from around the world see is a disgrace!

What is the matter with the people that were voted to office to look out for the well-being of Fresno? Do they not see this? There is litter and trash everywhere and the further south you go the worse it gets! Just not this highway but others too!

Why can’t the get these people in jail to clean it up, like the days when I was a kid? Let’s start making this happen, by letting them know!
