The Fresno County Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 on August 11 to file a lawsuit challenging AB 1923, a new California law that requires Fresno County to place a Measure C replacement transportation tax initiative on the November 2026 ballot. The supervisors supporting the lawsuit argue the law is unconstitutional and improperly interferes with local government authority. A New York judge has ruled that the jury in the upcoming state murder trial of Luigi Mangione will remain anonymous, citing the extraordinary public attention surrounding the case. The judge also approved an overflow courtroom so additional members of the press and public can watch the proceedings if the main courtroom reaches capacity.

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.

The Daily Buzz Do you support the idea of privatizing Fresno County library operations? The Fields Fire near Snelling in eastern Merced County has grown to about 1,100 acres and is 40% contained. Smoke from the blaze is drifting into Fresno and surrounding counties, causing noticeable smoky conditions. Evacuation warnings have been lifted, but some road closures remain in place while firefighters continue containment efforts. With the county's Measure C replacement delayed, Fresno leaders are proposing a $65 million-per-year general-fund measure to offset the loss of Measure C revenue and avoid a projected $54 million annual deficit in city services. City officials say the plan would not raise the sales tax rate, but instead keep it at its current level while giving Fresno flexible funding for essential services after Measure C expires in 2027.

Fresno County Supervisor Garry Bredefeld is challenging a local coalition’s push for a renewed transportation sales tax, criticizing the proposed Measure C replacement for shifting too much funding toward transit and local roads rather than regional projects. While community groups argue their plan reflects broad public input and prioritizes equitable mobility, Supervisor Bredefeld and others contend the proposal is unrealistic and fails to address longstanding regional infrastructure needs. The conflict sets up a high‑stakes showdown as organizers race to qualify the measure for the 2026 ballot.

INTERVIEW: Fresno County Supervisor Garry Bredefeld discusses the new citizen‑driven proposal by activists to replace Measure C. Backed by the Transportation 4 All coalition, the plan mirrors the version that couldn’t gain full support from the Fresno Council of Governments, dedicating 65% of an estimated $7 billion to road repairs and 25% to public transit. Supporters argue the measure prioritizes neighborhood streets and equity, Bredefeld says not enough goes to roads. To qualify for the 2026 ballot, organizers must gather 35,000 signatures across Fresno County.
