Podcasts about Fresno City Council

The Daily Buzz Question Social media scams are on the rise. Have you been a victim? After a 12-plus-hour meeting, the Fresno City Council approved only one major ballot measure: a proposal to replace expiring Measure C transportation funding with a new city tax that voters will consider in November. Proposals involving redistricting reform, development financing, and other governance changes either failed or were postponed. AP reports that Arizona investigators have released two ransom notes tied to Nancy Guthrie's disappearance. One demanded $4 million in Bitcoin and claimed she was alive, while a later note claimed she died shortly after being abducted.

The Grand Jury calls Friant and Shepherd Fresno’s most dangerous intersection. Should the city make fixing dangerous intersections a top transportation priority? Nelson Esparza wants Fresno voters to decide three significant issues this November: how to replace lost transportation-tax revenue, whether to limit city spending on Southeast Development Area infrastructure, and whether to tighten city charter rules on term limits and officials returning to office. The measures now head to the Fresno City Council for consideration. The Fresno County Civil Grand Jury found serious weaknesses in Fresno Unified's personnel management, including outdated job descriptions and a strikingly low employee-evaluation rate—possibly as low as 12% over the past decade. The report says those deficiencies may have contributed to expensive taxpayer-funded settlements and recommends a district-wide overhaul of employee evaluation and staffing procedures.

The Fresno City Council is considering placing a half-cent general sales tax on the November ballot to replace funding that could be lost when Measure C expires in 2027. Supporters say it could generate about $65 million annually for roads, public safety, and city services. Critics note the tax would go into the General Fund, meaning future councils could spend the money on priorities other than roads.

Guest Host: John Gerardi GV Wire reports that Fresno city leaders are exploring a possible city sales tax measure for the November ballot following the likely delay of the countywide Better Roads, Safe Streets transportation initiative. With Measure C set to expire in 2027, some council members are considering a local funding solution that could help maintain revenue for city priorities if a countywide replacement remains stalled. The House of Representatives voted to approve the Sunshine Protection Act, a bill that would end the twice-yearly clock changes and make Daylight Saving Time (DST) permanent nationwide, moving a long-running debate one step closer to resolution. The bill passed with bipartisan support and now heads to the Senate.

The nearly $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization fund” was created as part of a legal settlement after Donald Trump dropped a lawsuit against the IRS, allowing people who claim they were unfairly targeted by the government to seek compensation or apologies. The move has sparked controversy, with critics warning the fund could benefit Trump allies and raise ethical concerns about using taxpayer money for politically charged claims. The Fresno City Council has advanced a proposed ordinance to create three downtown “entertainment zones,” allowing people to carry and drink alcohol outside during permitted events as part of an effort to boost local business and activity. While supporters say it could revitalize downtown, some residents have raised concerns about safety and whether the benefits will mainly go to certain bars and businesses.

The Fresno Bee is endorsing Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula for Fresno City Council District 3, pointing to his years of experience in state government as a key advantage in a crowded race. The editorial board says Arambula’s approach to issues like economic development and homelessness — including focusing on housing over punishment — stood out, while also highlighting Keshia Thomas as another strong candidate to consider. People who owe significant unpaid child support could have their U.S. passports denied or revoked under long‑standing State Department rules highlighted in a new AP report.

The Fresno County Democratic Party has declined to endorse Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula in his 2026 run for Fresno City Council. The decision leaves the five‑term Democratic assemblyman without local party backing as he campaigns in a crowded District 3 race after terming out of the Legislature. State Senator Sabrina Cervantes is suing the city of Sacramento and police officers, alleging she was wrongfully arrested for DUI after a car crash in May 2025 despite clean toxicology results. Her lawsuit claims the arrest was motivated by retaliation over her Senate Bill to restrict license plate readers, and that officers discriminated against her as an LGBTQ Latina.

Rene Campos, a registered sex offender, is seeking a seat on the Fresno City Council representing District 7. Campos pleaded no contest to a 2018 misdemeanor charge involving child sexual abuse material and served two years of probation. Despite his status under California’s Megan’s Law, state regulations do not bar him from running, and he says he’s not hiding from his past.

When Annalisa Perea did not cast a vote for Fresno City Council leadership, it confused those counting the tally. After City Councilmember Tyler Maxwell nominated Mike Karbassi to serve again as president, and Nelson Esparza as vice president, no one opposed the motion. Their explanation created more confusion. After Fresnoland published its two-part investigation on Jan. 7 into city leaders’ use of a policy “loophole” to hand out dozens of contracts worth $100,000 or less, Chavez spoke to Fresnoland over the phone about how and why he handed out city contracts to political consultant Alex Tavlian’s company.

Despite the strong turnout, the Fresno City Council was not asked to approve the full SEDA plan during Thursday’s meeting. Instead, the mayor requested that council members select a preferred alternative for one of five agenda items and send it back to city staff for a financial analysis. The problem is not a lack of money, but years of bad spending priorities. With an $18 billion deficit on the horizon, California Senate Republicans unveiled their budget priorities to get back to basics, ensure results, and improve the quality of life for all.
