Questions posed to candidate:
1. Would you encourage new communities to incorporate or develop within the county? Why?
I support development of new communities based on a sustainable and “green” building model.
2. How do you see county government services such as health, recreation, law enforcement and fire protection being delivered in the future? Should they be provided by the county only or by the county and municipalities as is the case now?
Such services would be more efficient if delivered by the county.
3. What kind of problems do you see in the area of planning and zoning as the county is more and more fractured and more development is occurring in the foothills and canyons?
Not enough emphasis given to energy efficiency standards and environmentally friendly building material standards.
