Questions & Answers

1. What are your qualifications for office?

I previously served on Norwood City Council during tough economic conditions. I am familliar with the budget process in the city.

2. What services do you believe should be considered basic and essential for the City?

I believe that all of the safety services are essential for the city of Norwood. I also believe that the Senior Center and the Norwood Recreation are key services as well.

3. How would you balance the City Budget?

I believe that we need to look at the budget and ask ourselves "what can be," instead of "what has been." On a personal level, i am an efficient person; I try to do more with less. I will look at grants, and other avenues to receive funds to purchase goods or services that currently come out of the general fund.
