Questions & Answers

1. How would you implement your top priority?

I would implement my top priority of giving back the health benefits to city employees and retirees by working with the city employees. City council should make this decision and not the lawyers.

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?

The City of St. Bernard needs to work with these agencies to protect the city departments along with Ross Avenue Park and other residential streets in St. Bernard from being torn down by the widening of I-75.

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?

We already have a good recycling program in St. Bernard. I would continue this great service.
