Ishida on finances


question: 
If county revenues decline, how should the city balance its budget? Would you cut services? If so, which ones? Would you raise taxes, fees or charges? If so, which ones?
answer: 

Tulare County is financially sound. I am against raising taxes without voter approval. I would only raise fees and charges to reflect increase in the cost of providing existing chargeable services. If revenue does not support a particular service, that service may have to be reduced.
