Mayor Urges Yes on Both Taxes | Fresno News
Description
Fresno’s mayor flips his stance and now urges voters to back both the city’s general tax and the county’s “Better Roads, Safe Streets” measure—despite initial hesitation that risked voter confusion. After a state law cleared the way for the county’s ballot spot and legal advice warned of potential lawsuits if the city sat idle, he reversed course. The county delayed its vote, pushing the measure past July’s deadline, but a new state bill may still allow it on November’s ballot—or March 2028. The mayor frames the city’s tax as a backup, designed to expire if the county’s plan passes, and warns against a recall if voters reject it. He’s asking residents to support both, calling the city’s option a temporary safety net—not a competitor—to ensure Fresno’s roads get funded no matter what.
