Conflict of Interest in Fresno Road Study | Fresno News
Description
Fresno County’s push for a new transportation tax is hitting a snag: the firm hired to study its “Better Roads, Safe Streets” plan had ties to a competing proposal, sparking accusations of bias. Mayors call it a conflict of interest, while county officials insist there’s no legal issue and that their staff will ensure objectivity. The outside firm was chosen for expertise and speed — the county’s own team lacked bandwidth. With the original tax measure expiring soon, this delay could cost the initiative its November ballot window.
