I have known Bill Bailey for many years and was a business partner with him for several years. He is an intelligent man and running for a position on the Moses Lake Irrigation and Rehabilitation District (MLIRD) vacant board position. Since I did have the business experience with him, I decided to work on his campaign, as I am very confident he will properly analyze the true condition of the operation and financial condition of the MLIRD and bring that information to the tax payers. This needs to be done as there are many serious questions concerning the success of the dredging project, its cost, and confusion about other expenses. At the last board meeting, a question was asked about a $300,000 increase from $500,000 to $800,000 in only one expense category which was not answered as the information did not seem to be available. This is a major and unexplained increase. Please cast your vote in this important election for Bill Bailey and remember that you have your tax dollars riding on the outcome and your vote will really count.
