Questions & Answers

1. What are your Qualifications for Office? (50 word limit)

No masters degree but have been blessed with good common sense. In a city the size of St. Bernard, you need to get the facts and make a decision. I also feel I communicate well.TO be a route salesman for 21 years, its a necessity.

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

I plan to listen to the city administration, department heads and citizens, then balance what I hear with the income the city has and make well informed decisions. I have also spoken with a representative of a company that has a store in St.Bernard. He has expressed a desire to have a new store,with GASOLINE, he has passed the information I have given him to his real estate people. I believe we can make this happen. Sometimes a citizen can make a difference. I hope to do my part.
