Chad Bianco Wants to Slash Taxes and Regulations

Republican gubernatorial candidate Chad Bianco wants to roll back regulations he says are driving up the cost of gasoline, homebuilding and road construction in the state. "The regulatory environment is easy to fix as the governor. You can do it with a signature."

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco promises that if elected governor, he will cut taxes, shrink government and root out fraud. At a KQED town hall earlier this week moderated by Marisa Lagos, Bianco took wide-ranging questions from a live audience on topics including public schools, housing shortages, road conditions and immigration.
