What are your Qualifications for Office? (50 word limit) Answer from Tracy Winkler: I am currently serving as the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and have experience dealing with all township related issues. I am a concerned resident, above all, who wants the best for our community. Answer from David Linnenberg: I served as Congressman Steve Chabot's campaign Director and as Political and Executive Director of the Hamilton County Republican Party. I am an Oak Hills graduate and the father of two young girls who is committed to making Green Township a place where residents want to raise their families. 2. What plans do you have to address your top three priorities? (100 word limit) Answer from David Linnenberg: Efficient Government with Fair Taxes - I will continue looking for ways to trim expenses and for ways to increase revenue without raising taxes. Strong Security - Committed to increasing police presence in Green Township. Family Friendly Community Recreation - I have taken the lead on a study of expanding sidewalks and creating bike paths in the Township. These sidewalks/bike paths in coordination with our current and future parks will make the Township more family friendly. Answer from Tracy Winkler: Green Township currently has one of the lowest, by far, tax rates of all of the townships in Hamilton County. To ensure that our residents can still have the lowest tax rate, I, along with the other board members, have found alternative solutions (such as JEDD's) to help fund the great services of GT. I was instrumental in developing Green Twp. Property Maintainence Code which deals with poorly maintained homes. I will continue to encourage development that is beneficial to all of the residents of our township.
