Mike Welch: Promises Made, Promises Kept. Right in A Pig’s Eye
According to Welch’s website, he “Fought against EVERY Tax Increase Effort Since Elected to Office” BUT WELCH chooses to take health insurance paid for by the taxpayers. *
According to Welch’s website, he “Nixed plans for the purchase of an expensive “Taj Mahal” Complex for the District on the Taxpayer’s Dime,” BUT documents show that Welch voted to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars more for the new building. **
Welch also has stated in his mailers that he personally is against special interest, BUT Welsh took more than $5000 of special interest money for his campaign. ***
So is Welch a politician or just a lair? 
* According to ECWCD Budget ** According to ECWCD meeting minutes ***
