Questions & Answers

1. How would you implement your top priority?

One possibility would be to control zoning to ensure the residents that their neighborhoods will not be overdeveloped. I believe a Smart Growth Plan is essntial to the township in order to preserve the natural characteristics. Also,we should insist that developers have some responsibility with road improvements.

2. Numerous important issues including transportation, land use planning, housing and economic development for the Greater Hamilton County regions are being deliberated by OKI's Land Use Commission and Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission and Planning Partnership COMPASS; how engaged should local government be in these planning activities? If elected, how would you participate in these planning activities?

Local government should be fully engaged in these planning activities and the county should respect recommendations made by the trustees who, after all, represent the residents of the township.

3. Ohio Department of Natural Resources in partnership with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Recycling Coalition conducted a state-specific study and found recycling businesses in Ohio generated $650.6 million dollars in state government revenue. If elected how would you promote recycling and support recycling programs currently in place in your community to reduce solid waste generation?

Currently recycling is only available through Rumpke as a paid service, except for yard waste disposal, which is provided by the county. The township, in conjunction with the county and or the state, should establish recycling centers conveniently located throughout the township.
