Fresno's Ballot Battle Heats Up | Fresno News
Description
Assemblymember Esmeralda Soria is pushing to get a Fresno County transportation tax measure on the November ballot, defying county supervisors who want to delay it until March 2028 with a financial study. Soria argues the county overstepped its authority and is ignoring voters’ will — a stance backed by mayors and city council members. Fresno counters with legal threats and fears Sacramento is overreaching, risking local control. While the Assembly Elections Committee sided with Soria, calling delays unjust, no vote was taken — but the bill’s moving to the Senate, where lawmakers call it unprecedented.
