Questions & Answers

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

I believe that public transportation for our community is of vital importance not only to provide transportation to other major areas of the city for employment, but to encourage citizens to use public transportation to reduce air pollution. Air pollution is becoming an increasingly alarming environmental problem in the Greater Cincinnati area and across the nation.

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.

I would support county-wide campaign finance regulations which would provide for making it possible for any qualified citizen to run far public office, regardless of their personal economic situation. If pubic matching finds and limiting campaign contributions would enable those who are highly qualified, but cannot afford the high costs of running a campaign, to pursue public service, I would be for it.

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

I believe that good careful planning of Iand use needs to be completed prior to putting zoning regulations in place. By doing so, a community is able to provide the best quality of conditions of living for its citizens - both residential and business.
