The Fresno County half-cent sales tax, which expires in 2027, requires a vote to continue. Its oversight committee, comprised of 13 members, must be U.S. citizens living in the county. However, an advisory member suggested removing this requirement, citing that it doesn’t align with the county’s representation and could allow non-citizens to serve. Some leaders oppose the idea, arguing that it’s in the name of the committee and ensures accountability by U.S. citizens. Others suggest revising the measure or proposing a separate tax for road repairs.
