Questions & Answers

1. How would you implement your top priority?

Consulting with current business and investment advisors that I am acquainted with through past business and investment dealings from my current employment.

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?

We already have a council representative who attends OKI meetings on a monthly basis and reports to council on those issues that would affect the city of St. Bernard.

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?

We already have a recycling program in our city. Free of charge, bins are supplied for city pick up. I intend to further strengthen the program with more educational literature.
