We will have significant opportunities for public input, and invite all League members to share their thoughts on this topic. To assure strong citizen participation and representation of all perspectives, the League is seeking a media partner and outside funding for this project. The public needs and deserves balanced and reliable information on this vital issue. If you are interested in serving on this committee, or want more information about it, please contact the Municipal League office at or 206-622-8333.

Committee backgroundThe Issues Management Committee is writing a study guide to help volunteers research and write about topics of interest to King County citizens. It is based on a guide written by the League of Women Voters of Seattle. Volunteers are our most valuable resource, and they need and deserve all the help we can give. You can be part of itIf you are an issues junkie, we can use you on the Issues Management Committee. Our mission is to support all League efforts relating to public policy and government oversight. These activities include studies, advocacy, analysis of ballot measures, and other issue-related written materials from the League.For almost 100 years King County citizens have depended on the Municipal League for balanced, thorough, and reliable information on issues. This committee plays a key role in that effort. We meet at noon on the third Friday of each month in the Preston law firm, 50th floor, Bank of America tower (formerly Columbia Tower). All Municipal League members are welcome. E-mail Lucy Steers, Issues Management Chair at for details. Index | Next Article | Previous Article
