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.

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/

Price City, Carbon County Commission Candidate Jake Mellor

Carbon County commissioner Jake Mellor said people there have always been willing to awaken early to spend long hours doing hard work, “and not everybody everywhere is able to do that.”What I’m getting at is, I’m not saying that in other locations you’ve got a bad work ethic. It’s just that the level of responsibility, the timeliness and the willingness to go the extra mile at work without the expectations of overtime or
without the expectations of allthe other perks and benefits other people have for putting in the extra effort, we have that in rural Utah.
