Fresno Tax Vote Heads to Court | Fresno News

A Fresno judge is poised to decide whether a major transportation tax measure gets voted on this November or is delayed until 2028 — a ruling that could cost the city $54 million annually and lead to layoffs if postponed. The county sued to delay, citing a needed study, but the state intervened with a law forcing the ballot date. The judge questioned the county’s reasoning, noting no other local government used this tactic — and suggested they could’ve expedited the study. With the decision due Monday, both sides are bracing for an appeal, while election officials hope for a swift resolution to get voters informed in time.
