Questions & Answers

1. What are your qualifications for office?

Certified Public Accountant for 8 years (Most recent CPA work is with firm that conducts Gov't & School Audits)

Certified Fraud Examiner for 1 year

2011 Norwood Community Leadership Training Institute

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

Police Fire Schools Streets Water/Sanitation Health Dept Building Dept

While not necessarily basic - Senior Services & Recreation are essential to a vital city.

3. How would you balance the City Budget?

As a CPA I've worked with many companies on reviewing their financial statements/books to find ways to save operating costs. I've recently started working with a firm that audits local governments and schools.

I would begin by analyzing line items on the budget as I do with companies. I would recommend making cuts where possible. After cuts have been maximized, I would then have to consider other options and get public input regarding them.

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

work with local, state, and federal agencies as needed research/investigate ways to improve air quality
