Questions & Answers

1. How would you implement your top priority?

By personally reviewing all expenditures and contracts.

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?

OKI is totally unrepresentative of township residents. OKI has one representative for all Ohio townships. On the other hand citites of as few as 5,000 people have a single representative. There must be equity.

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?

Recyling is handled by private companies in Delhi.
