From page 2
detailed Action Plan for Bring¬
ing Pride Back to Fresno. Since
then she has worked tenacious¬
ly ffo implement key compo-
Tients of that plan. What is ama¬
zing is now mucTKof it shp ha;
accomplished in spite of a
national recession, cutbacks in
state and federal support, and a
handful of ego tripping council
members who couldn't pull it
together if the future of Fresno
depended on it.
In her four years as mayor,
. Karen Humphrey has worked
.' with others in the community
to bring her plan into fruition.
Working with an excellent new
chief of police, the city created
a D-.A.R.E. program to bring
police and schools together for
drug prevention. Humphrey has
supported additional funding to
put more cops on our streets.'
She has backed a'Regional
Air Quality Control Board and
worked to enact a tough city
ordinance to fight air pollution.
She has riskeu her political
-<C/reputation by pushing strong
water conservation and cleanup
measures, including metering
all homes — a measure which
will ultimately be necessary a"
throughout the state, but was
overturned by voters in No¬
vember. She has led the city
council in filing suit against
manufacturers of chemicals
which have forced the-closure
of some 30 Fresno wells.
Karen Humphrey has worked
vigorously to bring new jobs to
Fresno and revitalize down¬
town. Economic development
efforts which she supported
havCcreated more than 4,000
new jobs, expanded the Civic
Center Square, kept PG&E
downtown, and brought Grund-
fos Pumps to Fresno as well as
a $60 million investment by
Nisshinbo Corporation in a
cotton-textile weaving mill.
The mayor has been particu-'
larly strong in land use plan¬
ning. Her appointments to the
city Planning Commission have
been strongandcreative. They
have adopted a "radical" plan
to require sidewalks and trees
in all new residential neighbor¬
hoods, a plan opposed by
developers.
Humphrey has shepherded
plans for the Woodward Park
area, the downtown-central area
and the historic Tower District.
They will allow for growth in a
reasoned way, in contrast tpthe
runaway sprawl that has    \ v
dominated Fresno's growth.
Humphrey has been the
inspiration for the planting of
more new trees than in the past
decade, including trees which
will soon be planted in the
middle of Blackstone Avetuie.
She is"a strong supporter of
the San Joaquin River Parkway,
a parkway opposed by devel¬
oper interests bankrolling Jfth
Patterson, her chief rival.
(Patterson's slick ads claim his
business expertise is a major
asset. What he doesn't say. is
that his business is a Christian
radio station with a mere five
employees. Big deal!)
As mayor, Humphrey has a
strong track record of respon¬
sible leadership. She may not
have been as vocal about her
work as many of us would have
preferred, but she has gotten
the job done. She has done so
despite hard times which have
plagued the nation and state.
She has given us clean,
honest government that cares
about our city and its people.
She has the endorsements of
almost every law enforcement
organization in the city and
county.
Many faculty know
Humphrey well and have
known her to be a friend of this
university for years going back
to her years as a council
member for the university's
district. We do not share your
dismal view of her record of
Fresno's future under her
continued leadership.
We do not need new plans or
a new mayor to have a bright
future in Fresno. We need
Humphrey's vision and experi¬
ence in the mayor's office and
three new council members
who share her vision and are
willing to cooperate with her in
building a cleaner, greener,
safer and more prosperous
community,
i strongly urge every student
» and employee of our campus to'
re-elect Humphrey as^*nayor on
March 2. Finally, for those of
you who are truly interested in
a better future, I also urge a
"yes" vote for measures B and
F (Fresno School Bonds and
the Arts to Zoo sales tax).
