Questions & Answers

1. What are your views regarding the need for public transportation in your community to promote access to employment throughout the region?

My community has excellent public transportation. Transportation is no barrier to employment. Light rail is a poor idea and would only benefit politicians and contractors- study Cleveland.

2. Would you be in favor of county-wide campaign finance regulations that would provide for public matching funds, limit campaign contributions and provide for more disclosure? State your opinions on these ideas; whether you would support or oppose them.

I oppose camapign finance regulations. We need less regulations and more enforcement of the current laws.

3. What are the benefits/detriments to land use planning prior to zoning decisions?

I have seen few, if any, zoning decisions that were not politically motivated. We need objective land use planning.
