MID's Problems are Deep and We Need a Do-Over

By Emerson Drake

Tom Van Groningen and Glen Wild, the two out of control members members on th Board of Directors are continuing to head in the wrong direction.

Raising rates and spending more money will never help things to get better but that's how they recently voted." A Seven Percent rate increase isn't enough, but it'll do for now" was heard after the last MID meeting.

Tom Van Groningen who has voted for every rate hike in the last 6 years, except last September just be for his re-election bid, continues to lead Glen Wild and the Board down the wrong path.

These two men are glued together at the hip and Glen is wagging his tail like a puppy dog when Tom's around. They've even been spotted together at a Democratic fund raiser when these men are dyed in the wool Republicans.

We need to re-consider the decisions we made last fall.We need reliable Directors who won't raise the rates without cutting the spending to the bone.Tom Van Groningen and Glen Wild aren't the ones we need.

We need another solution.
