UP Council Unanimously Opposes Tacoma Prop 1

Last night, the University Place Council voted unanimously to oppose Tacoma's Proposition 1, a 33% tax increase on Tacoma Power (as it applies to University Place ratepayers).

Gary Brackett, the Chamber's Business & Political Manager, was requested by the Chamber's West Side Branch Board of Directors, to represent their position opposing Tacoma's Prop 1 during public comments before the University Place Council. 

After hearing an issue presentation from University Place City Manager Steve Sugg and the public comments, the University Place Council suspended its rules to consider the Resolution 735 opposing Tacoma's Prop 1.  Final action resulted in the adoption of Res. 735.
