Questions & Answers

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

What most qualifies me to hold public office is my 30 years of experience and public service, and six terms of service on the Cincinnati City Council.

2. How would you balance the City Budget? (100 word limit)

I have offered a plan in the last four budget periods to balance the city budget by making major cuts in the city administration as it relates to department heads, division heads and upper management positions; which would result in approximately $25 mil per year in budget reductions for the next 20 years. Regrettably, I was not able to secure city council support, but I will try again to resubmit my proposals. Copies of these proposals can be provided to you upon request.

3. Plan Cincinnati calls for the city to adopt a citizen engagement policy. What would you include in such a policy? (100 word limit)

A citizen engagement policy should make certain that we have maximum citizen participation in the decision-making process relative to "Plan Cincinnati."
