Here at the King County Council we have been busy reviewing the County’s 2023-2024 biennial budget. <br><br>King County’s $15.8 billion biennial budget provides regional and local services to 2.3 million residents. Regionally, our services include transit, affordable housing, public health, human services, public safety, water quality, solid waste, parks and open space. Local services include rural roads and bridges, police protection, permitting, as well as all of the government operations required to deliver these services. <br><br>If you’re interested in learning more I invite you to join Councilmember Kohl-Welles and me on Tuesday, October 11th from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. for a virtual town hall focusing on the budget. We will be joined by Dwight Dively, Director of the Office of Performance, Strategy and Budget, to take an in-depth look at the County Executive’s proposed budget and take questions from the audience. You can submit your questions <a href="https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDEsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMjEwMDYuNjQ3OTIzMTEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2RvY3MuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS9mb3Jtcy9kL2UvMUZBSXBRTFNldFdKNkNzV3RXajZlRFA4ZEE0b3NFdThkYWhxT1I2ZXA2RTYwOHlWelZ5N1BkaXcvdmlld2Zvcm0ifQ.nhdYrV_K23GdD3N9IsY8QKXmqy2fj12Cjrc0_KoGpEs/s/9192615/br/145383321994-l" target=new>here</a> or email me at <a href="mailto:rod.dembowski@kingcounty.gov">rod.dembowski@kingcounty.gov</a>.
