GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ Fresno County residents gave detailed feedback to Transportation for All on the need for better neighborhood roads near parks, schools and community centers, more reliable transit stops, and improved sidewalks. The coalition held a news conference yesterday—drawing on over 4,500 responses—while Fresno COG will soon set recommendations for the next Measure C before it expires in 2027. Fresnoland
- ➤ Councilmember Tyler Maxwell said Fresno’s Eviction Protection Program should not require income verification for tenants facing illegal evictions because the current intake process already helps those in need.
