Valle on housing under flight path


question: 
Do you support Lemoore's proposed general plan to have new housing under a proposed Naval Air Station flight path? Why?
answer: 

I believe that in these difficult budget times that we must protect our jobs and the economy. The naval base is a significant employer in Kings County that translates to tax revenue. I believe that there is enough room for growth in other directions rather than encroach upon one of the most valuable economic engines for this county and this valley. That said, I believe in smart growth. We don’t necessarily always have to grow out, we can grow up.
