Don't just call names, get involved

Voth and Ecret have not been good for Moses Lake
I appreciate the editorial board trying to elevate discourse for the current local political campaign. Here are my concerns:
Moses Lake deserves better discourse
I have read the recent editorials and letters to the editor concerning our City Council races, and I am dismayed at the level of discourse concerning the election. The vast bulk of what poses as legitimate debate fails to rise above the level of character assassination. Our community deserves better. We deserve to hear how the candidates propose to address the issues that face us. We deserve to hear each candidate’s vision for Moses Lake.
Councilman's move raises questions
I have a few questions concerning the recent City Council news:
Moses Heaven - the promised holy land
Four Moses Lake City Council members have been active in holding our city and its residents hostage, but for what purpose?
Dean Hankins for city council
I would like to endorse Dean Hankins for city council. I have known Dean for all 21 years that I have lived in Moses Lake. I feel that he is the best candidate for this position. I have worked closely with him and know that he is honest, straightforward and thoughtful in all that he does. Dean will represent the citizens of Moses Lake well and is just what our city needs. I do believe he will be a voice for reason on the city council applying years of insight that he has obtained as a longtime resident of Moses Lake. He is passionate about this community and its citizens. He dedicated to the improvement of the city council and its function, and as a non—politician will listen to you and your concerns. This is something we can all get behind.
Ecret's seat open to applications
MOSES LAKE — Moses Lake will be accepting resumes and letters of interest from city residents who wish to fill the seat on the council that was left vacant after council member Bill Ecret resigned last week.
