Reader supports Mick Hansen for commission

I read in the newspaper where Curt Carpenter of the Moses Lake Irrigation and Rehabilitation District is going to get a pay raise of $100,000 a year. With a downturned economy, what would make the board decide on such a huge pay raise? Boeing engineers in Seattle make between $81,000 and $91,000 a year. I live on the lake, so I pay for your salary and no one is worth $100,000! We need to elect Mick Hansen to the board so we have some accountability and no more rubber stamp, good old boy politics!
