Fresno’s Ballot Chaos and Council Drama | Fresno News

Fresno’s election season is heating up with chaos: two contested sales tax measures, a courtroom battle over a defamation lawsuit that could cost a city council candidate her seat, and even talk of recalling a county supervisor. Keshia Thomas faces mounting pressure after her son denies the racial slur claim she made about a former coach — despite her apology, critics aren’t backing down. Meanwhile, both Measure S (transportation) and the city’s general tax are now on the November ballot after legal twists and missed deadlines. Judges keep getting disqualified as the clock ticks toward printing ballots — and overseas voters’ deadlines loom. And in the political mudslide, Supervisor Garry Bredefeld is under fire for his vote on Measure S, with one challenger calling him “radical woke leftist” — while he fires back with equal heat. It’s a wild ride to Election Day. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
