Questions & Answers

1. What are your qualifications for office?

I have been elected twice to represent all of Loveland. In addition, I have been an almost life-long resident. I know how Loveland was and can be, the true flavor of Loveland. We're unique. It's knowing the past but looking ahead while listening to all comments.

2. What services do you believe should be considered basic and essential for the City?

Excellent police and fire protection are essential for Loveland and we proudly have both. Nationally recognized, to boot. Our streets must remained maintained, as well as our infrastructure, the water, sewer and stormwater systems.

3. How would you balance the City Budget?

Loveland is very lucky that we have good financial planning, with a finance committee stocked with good, qualified individuals. They have properly forecasted this economic period, where Loveland has not suffered as other communities. Balancing the budget entails all department heads to qualify and quantify every item and individual needed to maintain quality service, and if a cut is needed, to ensure other services will not suffer with that cut.

4. What actions will you take to support clean air?

I have supported Loveland's green initiatives, to reducing fleurocarbons or the "carbon footprint". Items like replacing lighting to LED bulbs, recycling, and reducing energy consumption all help with a greener earth and cleaner air.
