Central Valley Young Republicans are urging Fresno County voters to vote “no” on Measure S!

The Fresno County Transportation Sales Tax, otherwise known as Measure S, is a scam. The measure will extend the already high sales tax throughout Fresno County. And, while its creators promise “better roads” and “safer streets,” it will not improve either.

Instead, it pads the pockets of the nonprofit CEOs who wrote it and prioritizes the fundamental transformation of our beautiful, family-friendly Central Valley into a dump, similar to what the once beautiful city of San Francisco has become today.

This measure’s main objective is to create a more urban, public transit-dependent, cluttered way of life, similar to the disasters of Los Angeles and San Francisco, with unending bike and bus lanes driving cars off the road, funded and supported by the same elites and politicians who destroyed California and now want to destroy Fresno County.

All while making you pay for it.

The Central Valley and Fresno County are the rare exceptions to the mismanagement and disaster of what Sacramento creates. Don’t let Sacramento bully its way into our backyard using Measure S. Our county wants legislation and policy that prioritizes family, freedom, agriculture, and our suburban all-American way of life.

Don’t settle for less and don’t settle for the scam known as Measure S.

Reject “Bay Area” policies and reject the fundamental transformation of our way of life. Vote no on more bike lanes and more taxes. Vote no on Measure S.

MATTHEW GEE
Chair, Central Valley Young Republicans
