Episode Details

Governor Newsom just signed a bold new law to fast-track road repairs in Fresno County — but the city’s raising red flags. Assemblywoman Esmeralda Soria is thrilled, calling it “law of the land” and pushing for a November ballot, while Fresno City claims her office missed a key filing deadline, risking the measure’s eligibility. County officials like Supervisor Garry Bredefeld are calling it a massive $7 billion tax plan that should’ve been scheduled for a later ballot. Yet County Registrar James Kus insists they’re still on track, saying late starts won’t derail the process. The Board of Supervisors is now ordering a 30-day impact study due next Tuesday — right before final approval — as tensions rise over timing, transparency, and whether this road repair plan will actually make it to voters’ ballots this fall.
