Reader endorses Mick Hansen

MLIRD rate payers, we are faced with a difficult choice of selections - one of two candidates for a new board member to represent our interest for the management and operation of the Moses Lake Irrigation and Rehabilitation District.

A board member has several responsibilities. First is to represent the rate payers' interest. Second is to manage monies of the district by adopting a clear and comprehensive annual budget and to provide oversight of monthly expenses (not currently being done). Third is to see that the mission of the district is carried out by a wise of projects to enhance water quality of the lake and to develop recreational facilities, all in addition to the original purpose of creating, maintaining and operating irrigation facilities within the district.

I believe Mick Hansen is the best choice for a new board member. He has the best experience and background to make wise policy and operational decisions for the district.

Regarding conflicts of interest, Mick has none in financial matters of doing business with the district.

Please vote for Mick Hansen to represent you on the MLIRD board.
