Reader endorses Kernan in MLIRD election

Ken Kernan has attended 80 percent of MLIRD meetings compared to David Skaug's handful. Ken has never been a "yes" man to anyone as proven by his independent thinking, by a career of leadership and fiscal responsibility at a governmental level, and by the respect he receives. Ken has worked with inter-local agencies for years and will bring that expertise to his position as an MLIRD director. Ken has his facts about MLIRD straight and is not taking anyone's word for them. Ken understands the taxing authority of MLIRD . Ken Kernan understands the aggressive weed control program that is now in place and approved by state and federal agencies. He knows the dredge is working well after changes made by district management and staff. He also knows that hydraulic dredging is the only approved and permit able method to remove the sediment in our lake, unlike others who think the district should spend more of rate payer money to evaluate what is permit able.

Mr. Skaug's mailing has inaccurate information in it, folks! He talks about developing more beach frontage at the south end of the lake, buoys for submerged rock, etc. If he would do his homework, he would already have the answers to some of those questions instead of raising them. Is MLIRD Chairman, Mick Hansen, involved in David Skaug's mailing to rate payers? Has he also paid for Mr. Skaug's advertisements in the newsstands? Do your research before you vote to ensure no two MLIRD directors are in collusion!

Please support Ken Kernan and vote to increase the number of directors from 3 members to 5 to bring balance to the board.
