Former Fresno Mayor Jim Patterson just called the talk show. He says the HRC has become very polical. The commission did some good things in the beginning but now is used as a tool to repay political favors. ie: The appointment of Debbie Reyes, sister of Assemblywoman Sara Reyes.

He feels that the current council members should either disband the HRC or dismiss them all and re-appoint people more fair politically.

Former mayor made some good points. Anyone else in the Fresno area hear him?

Sure did. He didn't pull any punches, did he? LOL

I heard him and he did sound very good. Political favors is a big issue.

I loved when Mayor (former) Patterson called in and made those comments about the HRC. I had no idea that he had sat on the very first panel. They do need to be disbanded, as their original purpose has been hijacked into a political hit team against anyone not of their political beliefs. They are intimidating the council members who are supposed to be their overseers!

I found it interesting that Enrique, the HRC member said that they and the council are supposed to "a family". Good grief, who pays their family that much to attack them? They will usually do it for free you know?
