Questions & Answers

1. What are your qualifications for office? (50 word limit)

I have run a successful business for 34 years, routinely working with many organizations and committees. I have a strong grasp of today's business and community challenges. I have lived in Mariemont for 21 years, and respect the traditions that define this village. I am a chosen Town Meeting candidate.

2. What plans do you have to address your top three priorities? (100 word limit)

I would work to create an economic develoment committee consisting of Mariemont residents as well as elected officials, drawing upon the many talents and business experience of our citizens. We should strive to keep a balance of quality housing at all economic levels. We need to acquire a business in the renovated space in the square, as well as develop the steam plant property, incorporating a bird sanctuary at the adjacent hillside. I would encourage increased interaction between council and residents, as the best communities are those in which everyone takes pride in being a contributing part.

3. State three actions that you recommend to promote regional cooperation, and explain how you would implement each action? (150 word limit)

I think there shoud be more interaction with neighboring communities, and I would encourage increased membership and involvement in organizations such as Kiwanis. We should concern ourselves with county-wide and state-wide issues in addition to those specific only to Mariemont. Representatives from our village should regularly connect with officials in Hamilton County and the City of Cincinnati, as I'm sure we all have many of the same regional concerns. I strongly support the excellent school system we enjoy, but would like to see our business leaders implement "take a student to work" type of programs as well as offer employment opportunites in the summer. These programs could certainly cross our village boundaries.
