@FresnoCOG @MayorJerryDyer @vgaribay19 @NorCalCarpU @CCEJN And we’re #MovingForwardTogether! @FresnoCOG agreed to convene a team to fine tune the details and agendize the framework for a vote in November. Thank you to all who worked on this framework and made comments tonight in support!

@FresnoCOG @MayorJerryDyer @vgaribay19 @NorCalCarpU @CCEJN “At the end of the day, it’s not just about passing #MeasureC or fixing roads. It’s equally important that we have unity in the community when it is done.” – @MayorJerryDyer

@FresnoCOG @MayorJerryDyer @vgaribay19 @NorCalCarpU @CCEJN “We’re not going to give a blank check to anything without having a voice. It’s time for a new vision.” – Eliseo Gamino, Central Valley Leadership Roundtable

@FresnoCOG @MayorJerryDyer @vgaribay19 @NorCalCarpU “Why are we afraid of hearing what people have to say? Let’s make sure everyone has a say and that we’ll be able to hear it.” – Nayamin Martinez, @CCEJN

@FresnoCOG @MayorJerryDyer @vgaribay19 “We all fail if #MeasureC doesn’t pass or becomes a new tax. We believe this process is a true process. I encourage you to remember that.” – Dave Rivas, @NorCalCarpU

@FresnoCOG @MayorJerryDyer @vgaribay19 “I don’t want to see you all spend $2 million to see a measure fail. I want to see us working together on a #MeasureC that succeeds.” – Gloria Hernandez, Mothers Helping Mothers

@FresnoCOG @MayorJerryDyer @vgaribay19 “I appreciate that those who put this #MovingTogetherFramework together have boots on the ground in communities. It’s important that we hear from our communities.” – San Joaquin Mayor Julia Hernandez

@FresnoCOG @MayorJerryDyer @vgaribay19 “We want #MeasureC to succeed. And we need to hear from every stakeholder and every taxpayer.” – Firebaugh Mayor Felipe Perez

@FresnoCOG @MayorJerryDyer “We knew we needed to be able to work together and get to a place where everyone benefits. We need each other and community needs to see their voice reflected in this process.” – @vgaribay19

@FresnoCOG “We didn’t get into percentages. We focused on desired outcomes and a process that would be as fair and inclusive as humanly possible.” – @MayorJerryDyer

@FresnoCOG “It’s important to note that it’s one group who put this framework together. We want to move forward together.” – Clovis Mayor Lynne Ashbeck

@FresnoCOG We urge @FresnoCOG members to support #MovingForwardTogether with #MeasureC and to set us on a path to achieve a transportation future for Fresno County that works for everyone with process that give community a seat at the decision-making table.

@FresnoCOG Building community buy-in at the outset of a renewal process for #MeasureC ensures the success of a renewal. A local transportation measure is important to the Fresno County community and it should be grounded in a shared vision with community voices included.
