- ➤ A complaint filed Sunday alleged that a secret advisory committee linked to FresnoCOG misused $2 million in tax dollars to lower the vote threshold for Measure C renewal so special interests could shape the road tax, and the filing stated the group held meetings in July and violated California open meeting and public records laws—raising concerns over potential misuse of taxpayer funds.
