Questions & Answers

1. How would you implement your top priority?

My top priority is to continue to earn excellent audit reports from the State Auditor's Office. I will rely on my educational and business backgrounds to give me the knowledge base needed to run the financial operations of the Township. With my years of experience as your current Township Clerk, I will continue to make sure that all internal controls and financial transactions are in compliance with audit regulations.

2. Numerous important issues including transportation, land use planning, housing and economic development for the Greater Hamilton County regions are being deliberated by OKI's Land Use Commission and Hamilton County Regional Planning Commission and Planning Partnership COMPASS; how engaged should local government be in these planning activities? If elected, how would you participate in these planning activities?

I believe local governments should be very involved in these activities and we have been as a Township. If elected, the Trustees and myself will continue to attend meetings, provide information to the various agencies regarding our Township and keep our citizens involved in these planning activities.

3. Ohio Department of Natural Resources in partnership with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Recycling Coalition conducted a state-specific study and found recycling businesses in Ohio generated $650.6 million dollars in state government revenue. If elected how would you promote recycling and support recycling programs currently in place in your community to reduce solid waste generation?

If elected, I will support the Township Trustees in their efforts to promote recycling by providing them with financial data associated with the opportunities available.
