Questions & Answers

1. How would you implement your top priority?

There needs to be avenue large enough to generate diverse entertainment on a large scale in our downtown area & riverfront. I would give equal access to both stadiums. I also would put a dome on both stadiums to hold concert every weekend. I also would allow gambling boats to dock on our riverfront. I would also find jobs for those boycotting during the times in which they choose to boycott.

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?

I would seek funds to bring I-71 & I-75 light rail at the same time until track is completed on both sides. Do eminent domain on all the land down both sides. City & County funds could pay for inner city light rail in our downtown 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. If elected how would you promote recycling and support recycling programs currently in place in your community to reduce solid waste generation?

I would seek to return vendor & manufacturers back to using returnable containers. Re-open for the public deposits on glass bottle items. I would also seek to re-open paper & plastic facilities to exchange cash for cans & paper items, too. The same concept needs to be brought back locally, City wide.
