LIVE RESULTS: Measure E, sales tax proposal supporting Fresno State

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Voters are considering Measure E, a proposed sales tax that would benefit Fresno State and improvements to the campus, in Tuesday's primary election.



The Measure E tax would add a penny on some $4 purchases for the next 25 years. It would not apply to rent, groceries, gas, or utilities.

The pennies would quickly add up -- totaling about $63 million a year, more than $1.5 billion altogether.

Voters already rejected a similar Measure E in 2022.

Just over a year later, it is back with a higher tax for a longer time.

A similar Measure E was rejected by voters in 2022.

Supporters needed 50% plus one vote for it to pass.

It comes as Fresno State President Dr. Saul Jiménez-Sandoval says his aging campus needs help.
