We wish to express our support for Bill Bailey as the new director of the Moses Lake irrigation district.

We have seen Bill Bailey at work in a number of other positions within our community working in leadership roles in which he has been nominated to within those organizations.

He has been very successful in creating a team-player attitude with people in the organization, creating a work team that accomplishes things together and as a united team they set out to get the work before them accomplished. In carrying out this process, he has trained his group to carry on in a well-planned and organized manner for the next leader to step in and take over.

Bill worked with the irrigation district on the initial efforts to clean up and remove sediment filling the lake.

He has had extensive experience in working with organizations in the county, having served on both the City of Moses Lake and Grant County planning commissions.

Bill's experience as a contractor and manager is grounded in cost-effective and common-sense solutions that will save money and improve efficiency of district programs.

We urge your support on Dec. 13 for Bill Bailey on the Moses Lake Irrigation and Rehabilitation District election.
