Candidate for
Director; Modesto Irrigation District; Division 1

Go with Hensley, says Bavaro colleague

I have served on the Empire School Board for 24 years, seven of them with Nick Bavaro. I am supporting Cecil Hensley for Modesto Irrigation District director. Cecil is honest and can be counted on to stay the course.

For Cecil, the MID board is not a political steppingstone. He has spent his entire career concerned about water and power in Stanislaus County. In his 12 years as an MID director, Cecil's trademark has been his attention to how his decisions affect the smallest farmer, homeowner or renter, holding the line with electric and water rates. Cecil is forward- thinking with a youthful attitude toward

solar- and wind-generated power. He supported MID solar rebates (check them out) and a simple but effective $10 rebate for everyone who spends $20 on the energy-saving compact fluorescent light bulbs. You can get your coupon by calling the MID or going to the Web site.

Hensley for MID board

As a resident of a small city, I have seen what voting for change for the sake of change can produce, and it isn't always in your best interest. Learn the facts and understand the importance of experience in leadership. Cecil Hensley has the knowledge and leadership to keep the Modesto Irrigation District on track. I endorse and support Cecil Hensley for the MID Board of Directors.
