What do you see as the most pressing issues facing residents of your district, and how would you address them?
Utility bills going up and up. Housing/renting prices and maintenance getting out of control.
What changes, if any, would you support to enable better access, ensure security, and support the processes of our elections?
Data security from hackers on voting systems. More security at the voting areas to keep potential influencers from bartering the voters like in 2024. Keeping a close eye on this will help insure that voting is secure and safe. Also runs smooth.
What are your thoughts on the state budget process? What changes, if any, would you support so that the budget is enacted in a timely manner?
I feel the state budget needs to be reassessed and that the pay needs to flop and start from the bottom up so we can make sure we stay on budget by paying the right things that need to be paid, rather than worrying about hire ups
Should the state legislature enact laws concerning the impacts on water, energy, or land use from the development and operation of data centers? Would state regulation of data center development and operation interfere with the authority of municipalities to establish ordinances under the MPC (Municipal Planning Code)?
This question is an answer that would best suited for the environment and development sector to answer. As I do not have an answer at this time. I can get in the works to set up a committee to investigate.
