Reader supports Mick Hansen for commission
Linda Pinard | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 14 years AGO
I read in the newspaper where Curt Carpenter of the Moses Lake Irrigation and Rehabilitation District is going to get a pay raise of $100,000 a year. With a downturned economy, what would make the board decide on such a huge pay raise? Boeing engineers in Seattle make between $81,000 and $91,000 a year. I live on the lake, so I pay for your salary and no one is worth $100,000! We need to elect Mick Hansen to the board so we have some accountability and no more rubber stamp, good old boy politics!

It is amazing to me that the Moses Lake irrigation district has taken such a strong stand against Mick Hansen. They may be fine, upstanding citizens that work for the Moses Lake irrigation district, but since I live on the lake, I would want the board to be above reproach. Why wouldn't you want a check and balance system in your elections? When we voted at the last election, there were so many unanswered questions about who could vote and how many votes each person got, etc.
