Questions & Answers

1. Detail policies/proposals you would advance and support to increase and improve the city's housing stock, as well as the rate of home ownership in the city of Cincinnati?

Renovating of all abandoned buildings; housing for low income, and those who want ownership. In the city of Cincinnati, I would build Cincinnati's housing stock to accommodate all housing.

2. Would you move to advance or halt regional approaches to the following: public transportation, Arts council(s), management of snow removal, air quality, and water quality?

No, I would not. I would support all area wide issues that affect the citizens of Cincinnati to be efficient towards advancement of area wide issues.

3. Should the Cincinnati Convention Center be expanded? If so, how should the expansion be funded?

No, the convention center should not be expanded. First, the need and funding should be the development of small businesses. We need to grow within and not outside in. Once the city has developed small business, housing, a health care system, then the convention center can be expanded.
