1. What are your views regarding the need for public transportation in your community to promote access to employment throughout the region?
|
Answer from Gary L. Cromer:
I feel that is necessary and without public transportation we can only handicap our community
Answer from Kenneth W. Nordin:
My town Reading is fortunate to be included on several SORTA Routes I believe that the current public transportation available meets our community needs

2. Would you be in favor of county-wide campaign finance regulations that would provide for public matching funds, limit campaign contributions and provide for more disclosure? State your opinions on these ideas; whether you would support or oppose them.
|
Answer from Kenneth W. Nordin:
I wound not favor public matching funds for any campaign at the county level or lower. It is not necessary to use public assets for this purpose. I do not see a need to limit contributions at this level either, but I also do not oppose one. I believe that simplifying the system would allow more involvement at the local level
Answer from Gary L. Cromer:
I oppose them because I prefer keeping large government out of our community

3. What are the benefits/detriments to land use planning prior to zoning decisions?
|
Answer from Gary L. Cromer:
The benefits are simple, we would save money and time. We must know what or where we are going, example Blue Ash.
Answer from Kenneth W. Nordin:
Land use planning prior to zoning decisions allows a community, county or other entity to proved a "look at its own future". To have a planned usage of land is similar in that regard, to having a financial plan. Proper land usage is an asset to the community
