Joint Committee Hearing

We are hoping to get a packed house at the Joint Committee Hearing this Thursday at the Sumner Performing Arts Center hosted by State Senators Doug Erickson and Pam Roach! Invite your neighbors, families, friends! Everyone is invited to share their views of how they dislike the idea of the Government’s attempt to restrict what property owners can do to their own property. Legislators from around the state will be in attendance.

Proposed changes will severely restrict what owners can do to maintain their property, thus lowering the value of their property. This is not just a Pierce County issue, but a statewide issue that impacts every citizen. Lowering the value of properties with waterfront access will also lower tax revenues. Fire districts, school districts, law enforcement, etc. will have to make up for these lost revenues elsewhere. It is important our elected officials know your concerns regarding the proposed changes.

We’ve removed the ability to reply as we work to make improvements. Learn more here
