Questions & Answers

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

A positive, forward thinking syle of leadership. Over the last six years, I have carefully researched facts, gathered community input and made decisions in the best interest of Wyoming residents. My business experience establishing a successful company over 18 years is a perspective I am proud to bring to Council.

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

I will continue, along with the rest of Council, the careful evaluation of Wyoming's finances as we develop each year's operating and capital budgets with absolute commitment to our fiscal well-being. The budget process also allows for maintenance of quality services and facilities by prioritizing these expenses with consideration of the needs expressed by residents. The 2007 Master Plan is a document of the people, as leaders, we will make sure the implementation of this work continues to include public workshops alongside committee and consultant contributions so that we may continue to secure our future while preserving our rich heritage.

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

Regional cooperation starts with strong participation in existing regional organizations like the First Suburbs and the Hamilton County Municipal League. I attend these meetings regularly and serve on the executive committee of the Municipal League. Our ability to engage neighboring communities to establish common goals before approaching ODOT achieved the preservation of I75 access at Galbraith Road.

We held surrounding community meetings during our own Master Plan process to help understand how we can work with our neighbors. Wyoming and Woodlawn are both completing Master Plans which include a common goal to develop nothern Springfield Pike between our communities.

Wyoming and Lockland combined community efforts have resulted in the acquisition of over $600,000 in grant money to fund the demolition of non-vialble homes along Elm Avenue in Lockland resulting in an 82% reduction in crime for that border area of our communities and returning the land to dedicated green-space.
