SeaTac Legislative Agenda Not My Agenda

I have read the SeaTac Legislative Agenda, and it's not my agenda.

SeaTac will oppose legislation limiting activities needed for developing our station areas (this includes condemnation, folks). I want the State Law clarified to protect the sanctity of private property ownership!

SeaTac opposes legislation that would require local governments to tape executive sessions. I want transparency in my local government!

SeaTac supports adding TIF including sales tax to the list of financing options to provide public incentives for private development. This was declared unconstitutional in our state in 1982. Since then, our legislators have been continually re-writing the proposal, tweaking it here and there and wordsmithing it, trying to get some sort of proposal passed that accidentally doesn’t get opposed or challenged in court. I see this as just one more attempt to “fool” the citizens.

Shouldn't your city's Agenda reflect the citizens' agenda? SeaTac doesn't seem to think so.

SeaTac Legislative Agenda

Thank you Mr. Gibson and Ms. Lockwood. What appears to happen in the City of SeaTac is the agenda of staff. Most staff do not live in the city nor do they own property in the city. Their agenda is more concerned about propping up their own resume. Staff come and go.

Those of us who live here and buy property here have a long term vested interest. Council should be representing those values and desires rather than the desires of staff.
