Calhoun on agriculture
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:
The Williamson Act is a wonderful asset for Fresno County, and we should work to preserve it. Unfortunately, I doubt the County can make up the deficit if the Governor eliminates the reimbursement. I suggest we direct our energies toward the regional 2050 Metro Loop Plan because this visionary plan will help us designate and save essential agricultural land.
