Nanette Spyksma: Gilman can’t keep his promises to Salida; vote Wenger

Stu Gilman has not attended a single MID board meeting; how can he know the issues, let alone solve them? Stu is making empty promises of electrical rebates when the debts are not paid off.

Stu claims he will give surface water rights to Salida, same as the farmers. Modesto city water already serves Salida. How will Stu provide surface water without the added infrastructure? And where will that infrastructure come from?

Jake Wenger has demonstrated he cares for the future of Salida and Wood Colony residents, fighting to not raise electrical rates and fighting against the state’s water grab – whose motto is “Worth Your Fight.”

Jake Wenger is “Worth Our Fight.” Vote for Jake Wenger for the MID board.

Nanette Spyksma, Salida
