TODD VOTH - Reader endorses candidate for position 7

As a business owner and concerned citizen I recommend Todd Voth be elected to the Moses Lake City Council. Bringing new business, jobs, and shopping to the community is part of Todd's platform. He believes the city can bring new business to our great community be offering infrastructure assistance and deferring tax base. He has been on the planning commission for the past six years and is active in implementing changes to the current landscape ordinance. He was also proactive in creating an ordinance that provides the businesses on the Wheeler corridor to use larger signage. Todd believes the city's relationship with Grant County and the Port of Moses Lake is critical to future growth. The community of Moses Lake is ready for change. Please join me in supporting Todd Voth for city council position 7.
