Position

Position

The League of Women Voters of Kent supports voluntary intergovernmental, collaborative agreements which reduce costs, foster transparency and accountability, improve efficiencies and maintain service standards.

Position

The League supports an integrated approach to solving jail-related problems through cooperation among the county's judicial, executive and law enforcement branches.

Position

The League believes that the primary responsibility of city government is to provide basic services and therefore supports the provision of the following basic services and funding sources: fire protection (property tax, income tax and general fund revenue), police protection (income tax revenue, though not necessarily the sole source of funding), water and sewer (assessment of a fee for each service), street upkeep (income tax revenue, though not necessarily the sole source of funding), and emergency medical assistance (income tax revenue).

Position

The League supports local self-government for the City of Kent.

Position

We support an assured, stable, adequate and fiscally sound source of funding for the Long Beach Public Library. Following a local study, this position was adopted at the Annual Meeting of the LWV/LBA on May 21, 1997.
