Questions & Answers

1. What are your Qualifications for Office? (50 word limit)

Ten years of working in the St. Bernard Recreation Department, and the Civil Service Department. This experience will be valuable.

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

Create a Sales Program for our city to recruit new businesses. This will work much like a regular sales program that a company would operate. Improve the Housing Inspectors Areas and create more strict policies to improve the image of our city which will help younger families be attracted once again to our town.

3. What two actions would you promote to enhance city revenue or decrease city expenditures in order to balance the city budget, given the current economic conditions? (100 word limit)

Bringing more professional businesses into our city will drastically increase revenue in addition to increasing the population which will in turn create more real estate dollars. This will help us keep above water over the next several years.

4. What steps should the local government take to ensure that the quality of rental property meets minimum legal standards? (100 word limit)

Hold the owners of rental properties to the law!
