Episode Details

Fresno County is defiantly challenging the state’s new law that forces a Better Roads tax onto the November ballot, threatening to sue and delay implementation. In response, the City of Fresno is taking matters into its own hands by filing its own $65 million annual tax measure — designed as a backup plan to avoid budget cuts and job losses. But with a clause that voids the city tax if the county’s measure passes by July 2027, it’s a high-stakes gamble. The mayor supports the countywide effort despite tensions, while county officials remain skeptical the state law is valid — leaving both sides locked in a tense standoff over who will fund Fresno’s roads.
