Questions & Answers

1. How would you implement your top priority?

Delhi needs additional quality businesses and a more family fun environment. One business idea is the creation of an indoor family fun center complete with ice skating, restaurants, and fun for the whole family. This would help attract other businesses and also give people a reason to come and celebrate Delhi! My goal is to make Delhi more "family friendly", while embracing our exciting future!

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?

I think local governments should always be aware of the importance of recycling. Subsidization is certainly applicable in this situation. If elected, I would work to promote informing the residents of all of the above mentioned concerns.

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?

I think the average citizen is not aware of the importance of recycling. There are many ways to combat this lack of knowledge, including fliers, and mass media. Educating the public on this concern is first and foremost where to start on the resolution of this problem.
