Questions & Answers

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

Sixteen year Loveland resident. Loveland business owner & employer. Current member Loveland City Council & Finance Committee. Former member Recreation Commission. Community affiliation with local schools, athletic and recreational programs, church, and arts & cultural organizations. I consistantly advocate for the residents' communication & involvement, and always welcomed citizen input.

2. What plans do you have to address your top three priorities? (100 word limit)

Continue to advocate for citizen communication & input into their own local government. Actually listen to those who pay the taxes, raise their families, invested in their homes. Always welcome comments and guidance from the residents, it is their city. I will continue to ask the "hard" question, seeking the true bottom line for the taxpaying public. It is their money that is sometimes so friviouly spent by City Hall. I oppose unbridled growth in the name "progress". We need to get our own house in order before we annex any further land into the city.

3. State three actions that you recommend to promote regional cooperation, and explain how you would implement each action? (150 word limit)

The enacting of common zoning codes for development so that our separate communities are not pitted against each other. Too often developers & speculators shop around for the least stringent code and/or zoning board. This alone would eliminate much of the animosity so often occuring between neighboring geopolitical entities.

Loveland and its surrounding communities share common interests and concerns: of the vitality of the Little Miami River, traffic congestion, and environmental pollution.
