MASON CITY – “It can’t get any worse.”
That’s what Cerro Gordo County Supervisor candidate Kyle Klinksiek said this week in an interview regarding the performance of the current board of supervisors.
In the interview, Klinksiek was asked to describe his candidacy for the District 1 Supervisor position and what he would do differently than his opponent, incumbent Jay Urdahl, who has served on the board for 24 years.
Klinksiek believes in term limits and says he would only serve two terms maximum. He also says he would lower his pay if elected to $35,000. Cerro Gordo County Supervisors currently are paid $45,331 and are set to make $46,464 in 2013. Many consider the supervisor position to be “part-time” although it does carry quite a bit of responsibility.
Klinksiek, who delivers goods from the Target Distribution Center in Cedar Falls to Chicago as a truck driver, said that distribution center is an example where Cerro Gordo County missed an opportunity to land a lot of jobs. He says that if elected, he would work to bring more opportunities like that one to the area.
Watch the following interview to learn more about Klinksiek’s platform and why he is running for the board.

sure would like to know who anonymous is, he or she keeps repeating them self……Jim
Urdahl will win the election easily.
Not from MC but from what ive read inthe past here, it sounds like you may be right. very low voter turn out. this is the only reason some of these people stay in office. maybe there needs to be a lot of signs around (any) town for this election. “get off your dead ass and vote. If you dont vote then dont bitch”
Go get em Kyle!!
Wish you and Watts the best of luck getting rid of the “staleness” downtown.
He is correct. We do need new people in the supervisor position. We should have term limits for all elected offices. Jay doesn’t think he works for the people anymore. He is in bed with major politicians in the area and needs to go. So does his partner in crime.
The term limits that Klye talks about are already in place. They are set by the voters in every election process.
When they get rid of term limits on the president then you can say that until then if its good enough for the president then its good enough for everyone else.
