Powerful Citizen App Free Download No more frustrating internet searches. We’ve put everything in the palm of your hand . Civic Pierce County is a mobile app that displays your personalized civic information: The elected offi cials that represent you (and how to contact them), your fi re and school districts, fi nd your closest ballot drop box, status of your ballot, elected offi ces you can run for, and elections Q & A. Pierce County Look for Official Local your ballot Voters' Pamphlet July 16 - 19 MessageMessage from from the the Auditor Auditor Dear Pierce County Voter - This is how I think of an election. The purpose of an election is to allow the community to have a conversation. “Where do we want to go?” “What are our values?” “How much should we spend?” “How do we defi ne quality of life?” Election workers hold that conversation together. I call it “holding the space.” That means we don’t judge voters or candidates, make them feel inadequate, or try to impact the conversation’s outcome. We simply offer access and support, and promote transparency and equality. We hold the space so that every voice can be heard, even when the conversation occasionally degrades into an uncivil shouting match. Our Challenge This year has been – and continues to be – incredibly challenging. Blood is running high and hot. There’s a lot of shouting, not much listening. In addition, we have some signifi cant logistical challenges. Of the six elections being conducted in 2016, three of them overlap. As I write this note, we are certify- ing May’s unusual, controversial Presidential Primary (the nominating process for the Republican Party’s national convention). Simultaneously, we are proofi ng and printing ballots for the August Primary which features 284 candidates for 98 offi ces. Also, the Pierce County Charter Review Commission, which con- venes only once every 10 years, will offer amendments to Pierce County’s Charter (our constitution) in November. And fi nally, we anticipate that November’s general election will be the largest in Washington State’s history. Our Hope On behalf of Pierce County’s election professionals, we hope you’ll be patient, thoughtful participants in 2016. The Primary will be a crowded ballot with many offi ces, candidates, and issues. It's okay if you don't vote for every item on the ballot. Vote for the offi ces and issues that are important to you. Rest assured your votes will be counted. Please participate in your community’s conversation. We’re holding the space for you.

The incentive to convert the TransAlta plant to a natural gas-fired plant is a giant step backwards for our state and for confronting climate change. It was a hard-fought consensus agreement in 2011 between TransAlta, environmental and labor groups, the state Legislature, and former Governor Christine Gregoire that developed an agreement to close the plant and invest $55 million in the community to support education and retraining, efficiency, and economic development. King County strongly supports a just transition for the existing coal plant workers to new job opportunities, an important part of the existing agreement. Confronting climate change and accelerating a transition to a clean energy economy with family wage jobs is a top priority for King County. Through the Growth Management Planning Council, 39 cities and King County have established shared, formal targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50 percent by 2030 and 80 percent by 2050.
