Questions & Answers

1. How would you implement your top priority?

Blue Ash has been an active participant in the Compass process. Members of council, myself included, have participated in early planning, priority setting and critique sessions. I plan to continue particiating after the November election.

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?

City of Blue Ash has an active recycling program already in place. We offer curbside recycling, at no charge, to all residents. In addition, we have a program in place to periodically collect and properly dispose of household waste which would be considered hazardous. Blue Ash was recently recognized by the State for a groundbreaking program to collect old refridgerators and air conditioners. We insure proper collection and disposal of Freon.
