CITY WATCH:/ Part Two: The City Council Will Hold Hearing To Oppose I-2066

Note: the City is giving the public a one-day Hearing Notice

Washington State has placed a ballot measure before the voters. Initiative Measure No. 2066 concerns regulating energy services, including natural gas and electrification. Initiative 2066 is scheduled to go to the voters at the General Election on November 5, 2024. 

The City Council will hold a hearing at the October 15th, 2024, Business Meeting and for the Council to take action on the resolution to declare its official position in opposition to I-2066. 

 "COUNCIL TOOL"   RCW 42.17A.555(1) authorizes the Council to take action to express a collective decision, or to actually vote upon a motion, proposal, or ordinance, or to support or oppose a ballot measure so long as (a) the agenda includes the title and number of the ballot proposition, and (b) members.

(Same Tool used by Council to validate their I-2117 Hearing)

Comment:  Vote "yes" on I-2066.   Washington residents deserve a choice on using gas and/or electricity.  If I-2066 passes gas won't be banned from use by restaurants and households.  It's estimated the average consumer would have to pay ~$35,000 to convert all their appliances from gas to electric.
