question:
Fresno County may lose millions of dollars if the governor eliminates the Williamson Act reimbursements. Do you think the county can continue to afford the program if the money goes away?answer:
As a Supervisor, I will work with local legislators to KEEP the Williamson act. Why? Because elimination of this act would mean an immediate loss of over $6,000,000 to the general fund of the county. If the state does not continue the program it will be difficult for the county to absorb this loss in the short term.
