Isherwood on balancing the budget
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:
The county can maintain a positive budget. Working within a county department for over six years and working in private sector for over thirteen years, I am educated and experienced to dealing with Tulare County budget issues. The answer is not found in new taxes! With possible revenue declines the answer is not in higher fees upon the people. As your Supervisor I believe Tulare County needs to be resourceful, that is done by working with cities on fair revenue sharing, trimming wasteful spending, making services accountable and sticking to a county business strategic plan; just like private enterprise has to.
