The City of Richland supports legislation that promotes the City Council’s Strategic Leadership Plan and protects the City’s ability to provide basic municipal services to its citizens.

We oppose legislation that would either preempt authority or discretion that is vested with local governments, or which would impose new or additional unfunded mandates upon local jurisdictions.

We seek to work with the Legislature to:

Strengthen the state and local government partnership. 
Protect current revenue sources available to the City.
Provide new revenue options and to provide flexibility in the use of existing revenues.

Our Legislative priorities are influenced by those of the Association of Washington Cities (AWC).
