MLIRD rate payers, we are faced with a difficult choice of selections - one of two candidates for a new board member to represent our interest for the management and operation of the Moses Lake Irrigation and Rehabilitation District.

A board member has several responsibilities. First is to represent the rate payers' interest. Second is to manage monies of the district by adopting a clear and comprehensive annual budget and to provide oversight of monthly expenses (not currently being done). Third is to see that the mission of the district is carried out by a wise of projects to enhance water quality of the lake and to develop recreational facilities, all in addition to the original purpose of creating, maintaining and operating irrigation facilities within the district.

I believe Mick Hansen is the best choice for a new board member. He has the best experience and background to make wise policy and operational decisions for the district.

Regarding conflicts of interest, Mick has none in financial matters of doing business with the district.

Please vote for Mick Hansen to represent you on the MLIRD board.

The federal government's (lack of) thinking regarding gun control

No law has ever prevented a person with evil intent from committing murder, assaults, theft, or any other crime. People were murdered long before firearms were invented. Guns are inanimate objects, capable of being used for both defense as well as evil acts.

Reader supports incumbent

I believe Allan Burritt is the right choice for being elected to the Moses Lake School District Board. I have found Allan to be a committed and dedicated individual when it comes to caring about the success of students who is motivated due to a genuine, sincere interest in doing good. I have found him to possess the valuable quality of striving for improvements for student success but also sensitive to, and understanding of, the economic realities we are facing today. When voting, I encourage you to consider these factors and vote for Allan Burritt as member of the Moses Lake School District Board.
