Fresno Voters Face Half-Cent Tax Vote | Fresno News
Description
Fresno voters face a pivotal November ballot decision: a half-cent sales tax to save transportation funding and avoid layoffs. While the council argues it’s necessary to prevent a funding crisis, critics call it a “blank check” since city leaders control how the $65 million annually would be spent. Other proposals—including a development-related measure and a citizen redistricting committee—were tabled or rejected, sparking debate over rushed timelines. With the sales tax as the only major item moving forward, voters will decide whether to fund the city’s future infrastructure—or risk major cuts.
