Questions & Answers

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

Public transportation is a regional issue not just a local community one. Travel today is already an issue because public transportation is behind the power curve. Rail transportation and the public education on the issue is of great importance.

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.

Oppose I am for smaller government and less bureaucracy. Imposing these (again) would cost the taxpayer both in matching dollars and enforcement/tracking.

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

Land use planning sets the tone for the community. Zoning without a land use plan is not as effective in setting the community vision into action. The land use plan needs continual updating to stay current with community needs and expectations.
