AWC Board of Directors adopts 2010 legislative priorities

The Governor and Legislature needed to close over a $9 billion deficit in the state budget during the 2009 session. The state now faces an additional shortfall estimated at $2.6 billion that must be addressed during the 2010 supplemental budget (more on the Governor’s proposed 2010 supplemental budget can be found in the lead article of this Bulletin).

With that backdrop, the AWC Board of Directors adopted your 2010 legislative agenda on December 4, 2009. It’s an ambitious list given the complexities of the upcoming 60 day session. The three major priorities are: City flexibility package, Stormwater funding, and Street maintenance utility.

We have been working our top issues for months but success will be difficult given the state fiscal position and only 60 days to accomplish our work. Now we need your help, please contact your legislators and press for their support of AWC’s priority issues before they come to Olympia – all politics are local. Thank you!!
