Questions & Answers

1. How would you implement your top priority?

Golf Manor use to be a City. By restoring our Community Spirit, I will tap our many resources both human and financial to move us forward to where we want to be as a safe, secure,growing community where people can be proud to live and raise their families. Hopefully, these efforts and a visionary leadership will lead us back to becoming once again, The city of Golf Manor.

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 communities should be heavily engaged in my opinion.As Mayor, I plan to become involved to assure that Golf Manor'voice is heard and its interest is protected.

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?

recycling is beneficial, however it has not shown itself to be cost beneficial to our small village. If and when it does, I would be strongly supportive.
