Measure C Tax Heads to Senate | Fresno News
Description
A controversial bill to put a half-cent sales tax on the November ballot is advancing to the state Senate, aiming to fund Fresno County’s crumbling transportation system before the current tax expires next June. Supporters say it’s vital for keeping the county moving and accuse local supervisors of blocking public input in a shady move. But Fresno’s supervisors are fiercely opposed, calling the process unfair and warning residents will bear the brunt. The board had paused the Measure C replacement just before a key deadline, sparking accusations of dereliction of duty. Critics also allege outside interests are driving the initiative, though the Central Valley Community Foundation denies the corruption claims. The bill’s fate now hinges on the state Senate’s decision.
