Better roads – and higher taxes – could soon await Turlockers. By a 4-1 vote, the Turlock City Council directed staff to begin work on a new road tax, expected to come before voters on the November ballot. The measure is still in development, and is expected to return for a second, more binding vote at the next meeting of council. If approved by two-thirds of voters, the half-cent sales tax would be devoted entirely to road repair and maintenance.
