"I am calling for an immediate improvement to the city's transportation service to better connect workers with the largest employment centers to get people to the jobs available in our community," said Mayor Swearengin.
Swearengin said she wants Fresno to be the city that defies the odds and surprises experts when the city meets its goals. Besides the economy, Mayor Swearengin wants to keep closer tabs on registered sex offenders.
Swearengin and Police Chief Jerry Dyer said "Operation Monitor" will help authorities keep track of sex offenders living in Fresno. The plan would require convicted sex offenders to wear GPS monitoring devices, even after completing parole.
More than 300 registered sex offenders live in Fresno. "Operation Monitor" goes before the city council for consideration next week.
