Questions & Answers

1. What are your views regarding the need for public transportation in your community to promote access to employment throughout the region?

Hamilton County needs to develop East-West transportation in addition to North-South transportation into the Central City.

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.

Although well intended, I have serious concerns that such regulations infringe upon basic Constitutional rights of freedom of speech and association.

3. What are the benefits/detriments to land use planning prior to zoning decisions?

Good land use planning helps development and reduces zoning conflicts. Evendale has just revised it's zoning code after spending much time planning for our community.
