GLAD Position Current State of RLECWD

By Brent James Dills

Why you should vote for GLAD

If it is not already too late to save the ship, we are going to try to make change. We will be running against at least 3 past or current board members. We feel that they have had their chance and failed to get the job done and have been an embarrassment to our community. If you Google or You Tube the RLECWD you will see for yourself some of the unprofessional antics they display. All of us feel like something needs to be done about the current situation and we feel would be more successful and effective than the current board. That current board (and past several boards) have failed the customers by any performance measures you might use. We are running on platform that will require us to be more civil and professional and I believe we will be. We are already working as a team and focusing together on things which is more that the current board has ever done.

In answering the question who should I vote elect for the RLECWD?-- We are asking the voters to please consider the following:

• The current state of the RLECWD is poor to fair

• The State Department of Public Health has cited the RLECWD because the district's water pressure is below standard. The low water pressure can lead to unsafe water quality and poor performance from fire hydrants

• The current state of the water district is so bad that there is a building moratorium preventing new connections and reducing much needed jobs and economic activity

• There has been a Water Plan and two revisions but no full implementation of them since the year 2000

• The district has lost its insurance

• The district currently can't pay its bills and two auditors say it is not an ongoing concern (which means it is not a viable business)

To change things for the better, the GLAD candidates should be elected. The GLAD board will be focusing on improving the performance of the district using tangible performance measures and not on bashing staff or citizens personally or undermining the board's efforts.

The GLAD board will work together civilly and responsibly. No one should walk out of meetings as a political ploy to distract from or undermine the business of the board even if they do not agree with the majority.

The GLAD board will oversee the completion of the new water plan.

We would be very interested in talking with you sometime about our candidacy if you are interested.
