I had the pleasure of touring Honey Lake Power today (National Bioenergy Day), and learned a lot about the benefits of locally produced biomass power, and talked with some wonderful people.

My name is Bill Merkle. My family moved here in 1979 and I grew up in Susanville, attending school from kindergarten through Junior college. Maintaining secure and reliable electricity into the future is important to me, and my current business experience will assist the LMUD board in determining how to maintain electrical power.

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Information Systems , with a Minor degree in Business Administration. For over 25 years I worked for the same software company, starting out as a Programmer and advancing to Product Development Manager. My job requires that I have the technical know how to design systems utilized by scientists in R&D, that must also connect with other companies' data exchanges. I feel that my experience will support LMUD in dealing with complex business arrangements with PG&E, HL Power, NV Energy and WAPA. I intend to protect and work for the benefit of LMUD customers

My interest in serving on the LMUD board comes from a sense of civic duty. I've served as the Vice President of a youth football league and have served in Search and Rescue.

I respectfully ask for your vote as Board Member LMUD Ward 1.

Remember, if you get an LMUD bill you can vote for Bill.
