Questions & Answers

1. What specific measures do you support to increase equal access to health care in Ohio?

Provide tax incentives to small businesses that provide Health Care to their employees. Support a patient's right to sue his/her HMO and right to appeal to an administrative board of specialists when services are denied. Ensure that citizens have access to basic health care through managed care and insurance reforms.

2. What are your views on legislation to study racial profiling by law enforcement?

Racial profiling does happen and it is discriminatory. It is imperative that we make our criminal justice system as color blind as possible.

3. What stable funding source do you support for the Ohio Housing Trust Fund?

Typically, legislation or an ordinance is passed that increases an existing revenue source, like taxes, fees or loan repayments. I prefer not to raise taxes - I wish to lower them. Therefore, I am unsure of an exact program to help stablely fund the Housing Trust Fund.
