(An election was to be held in 2012, but the water board voted to postpone the election. You read that right.)
So we looked at the Adrian Murray and John Basham mailer from way back in 2010 to see what had changed.
What had your wonderful water board done differently that made them any better candidates now?
Not a damn thing.
Unless you count the following (all of which YOU paid for, in the name of "flood control"):
- A polluted wake board park
- A no bid restaurant in the flood plain
- A drive-in on contaminated land
- Tubing parties in a contaminated river
- 90+ businesses and numerous residents threatened with or forced eminent domain of property
- Tax burdens with no vote (at least a billion)
- Voted themselves a raise
- Voted themselves another year in office
- Held meetings with no public notice
- No bid contracts
- Raised water rates significantly over past 10 years (though they don't raise taxes on the gerrymandered area that gets to vote)
So if you are undecided on who to vote for in the water board race, jump on over to Durango and read his posts from May back to April. Of 2008, or 2009, or 2010, or 2011...or hang out here, you'll get the picture and you'll vote BNK.
Basham, Nold and Kelleher are not career politicians looking to sell you down the river to their contractor, lobbyist friends.
They are in it with YOU, for YOU. Can you say the same about the 3 incumbents?
Speaking of them, WHERE are they? WHY are they having others speak for them?
YOU want to make a difference? Then do it.
On Saturday, when you go to vote for the water board election, VOTE BNK!
