Questions & Answers

1. How would you implement your top priority?

Review all available information pertaining to revenues. Look at future potential of gains and losses. Utilize all resources to estimate as accurate as possible.

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?

Our local government should have the highest level of engagement. As clerk I would encourage the Board of Trustees and the administration to be extremely pro-active in this area.

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.

I would encourage the Board of Township Trustees and the administration to increase our efforts in this area.
