Questions & Answers

1. What are your qualifications for office?

I have lived in Loveland for almost 40 years, and think that I have an understanding of how the citizens of this community feel. I have experienced change in this city, not all of it good, and think that it is time for someone without a political background to take an interest in the future of Loveland. I have over 30 years of business experience that I should also be able to apply in this position.

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

Besides the obvious ones of police and fire, I think that the public works is critical. This would include maintaining the current level of road repair, snow and brush removal, and our parks.

3. How would you balance the City Budget?

Unfortunately, based on what I've seen so far, we won't be able to balance it with just making cuts. It may be time to consider a small tax increase, and a small reduction in the tax credit.

4. What actions will you take to support clean air?

Fortunately, I don't think that this is an issue in our community. I support clean air, and our excellent recycling program.
