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

Answer from Mark F. Weber:

I am an attorney in private practice. I am also President of New Foundation Bank. I have served three terms on Council, proudly representing Ward 5. During my last term, I was privileged to also serve as Vice-Mayor. I take a creative and proactive approach our city's issues.

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

Answer from Mark F. Weber:

Blue Ash has achieved the prosperity it enjoys by cultivating economic and social diversity through open-minded responses to its many opportunities. I believe what makes Blue Ash unique makes Blue Ash better. Our projects to improve the airport, golf course, recreation center and Town Square continue to separate Blue Ash from the typical bedroom suburb. As the economic and population epicenter of the region moves northward, we must guide the city so as to continue to distinguish itself from communities seeking to emulate our success.

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