About the report . . .

The Municipal League’s King County Government Reform Study committee has

been meeting since June 2010 to review progress on a reform agenda

proposed by County Executive Dow Constantine. The intent of the committee

is to draw attention to some of the early successes, stimulate public dialogue

about good government and to highlight opportunities for further government

improvement.

The committee is issuing this initial summary to provide an overview of the

reform agenda, stimulate discussion about the results achieved to date,

identify opportunities for potential improvement and highlight issues

warranting further study. We recognize that meaningful change will take time

to achieve. But we also feel that it is important to share our early observations

with the public rather than waiting to issue a more comprehensive report.
