Questions & Answers

1. What are your views regarding the need for public transportation in your community to promote access to employment throughout the region?

Public transportation needs improvement to reduce traffic and improve the environment. It should be self supporting as much as possible

2. Would you be in favor of county-wide campaign finance regulations that would provide for public matching funds, limit campaign contributions and provide for more disclosure? State your opinions on these ideas; whether you would support or oppose them.

Campaign Finances should be regulated in amount. I do not support providing public matching funds to candidates. General access to media outlet should be equalized as much as possible

3. What are the benefits/detriments to land use planning prior to zoning decisions?

It assures well thought out intended uses that meet community desires prior to adopting regulations. A good idea!
