STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF KEN BAILEY With the hope that it will be helpful to the voters in the forthcoming primary election, the Committee for the of Ken Bailey issues this statement of reasons for voting for Ken Bailey for the office of County Commissioner: Re-electi- 1. Effective representation on the county commission is of critical importance to all citizens of San Juan County. Our ability to continue to sustain ourselves, live and have some prospect of growth so that some of our children and grandchildren can also live here is threatened on many fronts. Oil and gas development and mining activity, which historically have contributed much to the of San Juan County, are functioning at a greatly reduced level. economy Farming and ranching businesses face serious challenges. There are powerful political forces asserting themselves on a national and even a state level, which if not checked, will turn San Juan County into a "wilderness area" where only very limited activity of any kind will be permitted. 2. Our County Commissioners, primarily because they operate at a level of government close to us, are our voice and hands in dealing with these problems. Under the present commission form of government, the sole legislative and executive functions of county government are vested in the commission. They must not only make laws and policy, but they must execute, implement and administer those laws and policies. Direct, extensive and continued involvement by each member of the commission is necessary. It is a demanding task. 3. Effective service as a county commissioner requires time, the inclination to perform the task and the ability to do it. It requires a person who desires to speak out for the county, and has the contacts in the right places so that the county's voice is heard. It requires a person willing to make difficult (and sometimes unpopular) decisions. 4. It is difficult, if not impossible, to determine in advance how well a candidate will respond to the demands of the office. Many respond and serve well. On the other hand, some disappoint. The test is in the pudding and it is not until we actually observe the candidate in office that we find out how well he or she will do. are fortunate in, the County Commission race in that we need not speculate or be uncertain. Ken Bailey served long and well as the Mayor of the City of. Monticello. He has served eight years on the San Juan County Commission. He is a proven quantity. We know he will speak out for the county and the area he represents. We know he will make tough decisions. We know that he can work well with elected and appointed officials at other levels of government. We know he will work well with the other commissioners with an appropriate 5.

A graduate of Brigham Young University with a degree in education, he worked for the Grand County School District. He was a member of the LDS Church in the Rosecrest Second executive officer at San Juan Regional Medical Center. Our goal is to bring the technology of healing to the Four Comers so we can provide the community with the best care possible.

Ken's opponent is a fine man and under other circumstances he most likely would command our support. In this case, we have a proven candidate in Ken Bailey, who has demonstrated his ability to get the job done and has served us well. Such a record assures us that Ken will continue to be a strong and effective commissioner if elected for another term. For these reasons we urge a vote for Ken Bailey for the San Juan County Commissioner. of Ken Bailey Monticello, Utah o UTAH FARM BUREAU LIFE INSURANCE CO. SALT LAKE CITY.
