Commissioner Meaghan told fellow commissioners she will testify this evening on "senate bill 58 12," which she described as similar to House Bill 2049 and “very focused on school funding.”
She said the bill includes language that allows local jurisdictions a 3% increase and that the issue is on the county’s priorities, which permits her to speak for the board. "I'll be testifying this evening on senate bill 58 12," Meaghan said. "It is very focused on school funding, but it does allow, local jurisdictions the increase to that 3%." She added she would be speaking on behalf of "both Wasatch and Thurston County."
The commissioners did not take a formal vote at the work session on the county's position; Meaghan presented this as a notification of her planned testimony and representation. The meeting record shows the item raised during a commissioner-items segment of a work session; no additional direction to staff or binding action was recorded.
