Are you going to Broadway in Fresno's 'Mean Girls" tonight? (And are you wearing pink? It IS Wednesday, after all.) Here's my review. munroreview.com/2024/03/27/the… lexy morera Mean Girls Musical

The Munro Review is for transparency regarding Fresno's Measure P. Names of applicants and adjudicators need to be public. This is taxpayer money. The process has to be open or it loses credibility. So far, we're disappointed. Miguel Arias Jim Boren munroreview.com/2024/04/10/as-…

Hey SkyWest Airlines, I’m on a flight from LA that landed at Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT) and has been sitting on the tarmac for 50 minutes in 111 degree heat. The reason, according to your pilot: you only have one ground crew working. Absolutely unacceptable. It’s getting hot in here. United Airlines

Fresno City Council chambers are packed with arts supporters putting pressure on Measure P commission. The takeaway: arts groups who received grants (now postponed) are hurting. Here’s the backstory: munroreview.com/2024/07/14/emo…

UPDATE: Fresno's Measure P grants were finally released after dozens of speakers told the Commission how the delay is causing financial hardships. A compromise proposal to give money to previously denied organizations didn't get voted on, however.

Measure P grants will finally be disbursed -- nearly 2 months (or, depending on your viewpoint, several years) late. munroreview.com/2024/07/16/mea… . Miguel Arias Mike Karbassi SONTAYA ROSE Fresno Arts Council Annalisa Perea Tyler Maxwell nelson esparza Nelson O. Esparza Luis Chavez

2/2 It's interesting to note that the vast majority of Measure P grants were approved, some of them to untested and little known organizations, but not in the case of a project that 2 major players say could have kept the art- and street-fair components of ArtHop on same night.
