There was a less than 5% turnout for the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy Board Election. That is bad news, but the good news is two incumbents have been shown the door. Here is what I think the newly comprised board should strive to do.1. Get new management leadership that will modernize and bring efficient management to the system.
2. Work closely with other governmental entities to ensure a continued water supply for agriculture and other purposes in the Rio Grande Valley.
3. Convince the legislature to help shoulder the financial burden of the district taxpayers who pay for this system by themselves, even though its water supplies, recreational and environmental importance are an asset to the whole state.
4. Hire a new legal team that works full time for the district.
5. Move the election back to General Election Days so that more people can easily vote.
6. Be open and honest about the operation of the district.

I voted and I voted for the people you suggested. I was wondering how to move the election date back. Can you say something about how this could be accomplished?
