Reader is voting for Mick Hansen

In last week's paper I read that the Moses Lake Irrigation and Rehabilitation District directors extended Mr. Carpenter's contract for another five years.

This pay range - $100,000 plus benefits now puts him in the same range as somebody running an entire government sector, managing hundreds of employees and responsible for millions of dollars in budget.
