Working with Mayor Mike Kourianos has been a pleasure. I was once called the Kid Commissioner and often treated that way by the previous Mayor, but it has been refreshing to work with someone not afraid of change and willing to not only have those critical and difficult discussions, but to make the hard decisions as well.

We raise Carbon County to the next level when we participate with our peers from other counties such as Washington County Commissioner Victor Iverson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmbz6Z4TmYY

My name is Bill Krompel and I served as a Carbon County Commissioner for 20+ years from years 1987 to 2010. I have been a lifelong Democrat, but sometimes you have to put your party affiliations aside and choose the best candidate. I have been most impressed by the incumbent Commissioner Jake Mellor who has done some truly amazing things without due recognition. I am personally proud of him making such strides with events at the Fairgrounds since he was given that assignment this past February. http://etv10news.com/letter-to-the-editor-endorsement-for-jake-mellor/
