As a regular attendee of the monthly LPEA board meetings and a very concerned co-op member, I would like to strongly encourage my fellow co-op members in District 3 to vote for Bill Waters, as he brings much-needed business experience and acumen to the table. His many years of making large business decisions and his proven ability to work with others would be very welcome and much-needed additions to the board. I personally have witnessed disruptive and what I consider to be unprofessional behavior from the incumbent, who is also running, and feel he must be replaced by a more professional person of Waters’ caliber. On the other hand, the incumbent in District 4, Joe Wheeling, must be retained! At this very crucial time in co-op history, Wheeling’s proven knowledge, experience, professionalism and dedication to the community cannot be lost! His integrity is impeccable, and his business sense and experience are major factors in how well he represents us at Tri-State.
These two people are the kind of directors this board must have to take the co-op successfully through the complicated issues we face. Agenda-driven (with tunnel vision), misinformed, unprofessional and ill-prepared directors have no place on this board and cost the co-op (and its members) valuable time and money.
Please be responsible and vote for these two very qualified gentlemen as your co-op needs your support!
