Newsom Raises Taxes Continuing(...) No.1528743

Newsom Raises Taxes Continuing CA's Maximum Pain Agenda. Pelosi Light Rail Still Not Completed.  No.1528743
Fresno County erupts as Gavin Newsom accused of overreaching with better roads tax after raising gas taxes to $.61/gallon
https://nypost.com/2026/08/09/us-news/gov-gavin-newsom-forces-roads-tax-on-one-california-county/

Critics accused the board majority of using the review to keep the proposal off the November ballot.

But Fresno County Board Chairman Garry Bredefeld claims the issue is ”bigger than the proposed tax.”

“This is about whether Fresno County governs itself or whether political power and Sacramento connections can be used to overrule us whenever local voters and their representatives refuse to fall in line,” Bredefeld said Thursday.

Bredefeld said the law effectively allows Sacramento to dictate how Fresno conducts its local elections.

“The bill undermines local control, turning Fresno County into a ward of the state, unable to control its own destiny,” he said.

The initiative was submitted by citizens rather than the county government — a distinction that could make a major difference at the polls.

Under current California court rulings, a citizen-sponsored special tax can pass with a simple majority, while a special tax placed on the ballot by a local government generally requires two-thirds approval.

That timing is especially significant because Proposition 43 will also go before California voters this November.

If approved, Proposition 43 would require citizen-sponsored special taxes to clear the same two-thirds threshold beginning in 2027. A delay until 2028 could therefore make passage of the Fresno measure substantially harder.

Assemblymember Esmeralda Soria and state Sen. Anna Caballero backed AB 1923 after accusing Fresno supervisors of using the review process to delay the measure, describing it as a ”win” for democracy and voting rights.

The legislation itself was also unusual. AB 1923 originally dealt with California’s Distressed Hospital Loan Program before lawmakers stripped that language and replaced it with the Fresno County election mandate. Newsom then signed the urgency measure.

Bredefeld now says they are now considering taking Sacramento to court, with Fresno County hiring an election-law specialist, who is expected to brief supervisors Tuesday.

The county chairman argues the legislation may violate California’s constitutional restrictions on laws targeting a single county.

AB 1923 attempts to justify its Fresno-only provisions by citing the county’s “unique fiscal circumstances,” including the coming expiration of Measure C.

“The fight has just begun,” Bredefeld said.

The proposed tax will now head toward the November ballot — unless Fresno County gets a judge to stop Sacramento’s latest intervention first.

A reminder this is a fake news, and not creditable news site that shouldn't be allowed on /news/ because they were caught smearing Mamdani over 9/11 and instead of retracting the story and apologizing for their false reporting, they are now doubling down.
https://hiphopwired.com/3061256/ny-post-dragged-for-alleged-mamdani-9-11-story/

And the corporate media is running a cover up for them as well too.

It has also failed multiple other fact checks as well, and it's telling the shill spamming the NYpost has to use AI slop for his images.

NYpost may be a tabloid, but their news may have some truth to it. We need snopes to deny or confirm all the statements found therein.

I am pretty liberal, but the Democrats do indeed tax more AND with things costing so much more you need more tax money to pay for the same results.

0 since that's the same amount of files he released.
Meanwhile, hard right folks like Bill Gates, Ariana Huffinton, and Reid Hoffman are in the files.
They're runnig reporting on gRumpf to cover their asses. When nearly everyone in the files was either a Dem, or donated to them, including Epstein himself who donated to far right Republican, Chuck Schummer.
Liggerals need to quit running interference for their billionaire donors.

Every day your twist yourself into knots saying how Trump not releasing Epstein files is proof he is a pedophile himself and a pedigree defender, but Biden not releasing the Epstein files is proof of nothing so stop bringing it up and stop asking about it.
