City Elections: Bob Langford on Financial Health

Patch recently asked the seven candidates running for New Port Richey City Council: "How do you define whether the city is “financially healthy?” What are your ideas for making sure the city meet that definition, if it hasn’t already?"

We also asked; "What’s your position on the ideas of cutting services, raising taxes or increasing fees as options for helping the city be financially healthy? What other strategies would you use?"

We got answers.

Here's what Bob Langford had to say:

When we can easily pay our debts and start rebuilding our general fund reserves. I'm certain that we're done cutting services and I don't want to raise fees or taxes. I would hope that we're getting back in the position to get grant dollars and funds from other creative sources.
