The Los Rios Community College District has placed Measure H, a $1.1 billion bond issue, on the ballot for Tuesday, November 3. The ballot summary states "no increase in tax rates," while the district's own language describes levies below $17 per $100,000 assessed valuation generating $74.5 million annually until 2051 to repay bond investors. Former Los Rios trustee Robert Jones authored the official argument against the measure, contending that existing buildings remain underused due to rising remote learning. A state appellate court earlier this year upheld a ruling that Hemet Unified School District's ballot language similarly misleadingly declared a $225 million bond would not raise taxes.

The Rancho Cordova City Council voted 4-1 on Oct. 26 to advance KozPure Development's proposed $1.2 billion Downtown "Dova" arena project, with Councilmember Joseph Little casting the sole dissenting vote. Local YouTuber Shy Hollis, who posted a critical video approximately two weeks before the meeting, challenged the project's financial transparency, noting that developer Joshua Wood previously described it as "100% privately funded" while the city contemplates an estimated $185 million in fee relief and revenue sharing over 35 years. The article notes shifting groundbreaking targets—from early 2026 to August/September to year-end—without a disclosed construction financing package. A final financial participation agreement is scheduled for council consideration Nov. 2.
