From Measure C to Park Names: Fresno’s Week in Micro-Dramas

In this epsidoe of Fresnolandia, Danielle and Jordan sit down with Fresnoland reporters Juliana Morano and Pablo Orihuela to unpack a week full of Fresno’s political quirks and controversies. From the future of Measure C and its 38-member steering committee, to the naming battles over a new Southeast Fresno park, to a $30 million police headquarters lease, and even holiday culture wars at the county level—this episode takes you behind the scenes of local government. Along the way, we hear about “micro dramas,” power struggles, and what it really means when politics starts to look like an episode of Parks and Recreation.
