Rep. Skip Priest to hold two
community meetings
Federal Way and Pacific
meetings are a good opportunity for constituents to ask legislative questions,
learn about flood relief and assistance
Listening to constituents, hearing creative solutions to state
challenges and relaying information about flood relief aid are the goals
of two community meetings Rep. Skip Priest will hold
Saturday, March 14 in Federal Way and Saturday, March 21 in Pacific.
"We've
just passed the mid-point of the legislative session, so it is a good
time to touch base with folks who want to share their thoughts on state
government and bills being considered by the Legislature," said
Priest,
R-Federal Way. "I will also
have updated information on flood relief and assistance at the meeting
in Pacific for those who suffered property damage during the storms
earlier this year."
Priest
has also set up an
online
questionnaire that allows constituents to weigh in on a few
issues being debated by the Legislature. There is also room for
constituents to leave comments and provide their opinions at the end of
the survey.
The
meeting schedule is as follows:
Federal Way
Saturday, March 14
10 a.m. to noon
Highline College in Federal Way, Room 103
33320 -
1st Way South, Building A, Federal Way
Pacific
Saturday, March 21
10 a.m. to noon
Senior Center, Suite B
100 - 3rd Avenue S.E.,
Pacific
The meeting in Pacific will
include a representative from the Federal Emergency Management
Assistance (FEMA) office to help those affected by the recent storms
apply for federal aid before the March 31 deadline. Information
will also be provided on how property owners who suffered land or
structure damage can
apply for a reassessment of their home, which could mean a partial
state property tax rebate for some home owners.
No
advance registration is necessary. Those planning to attend the meetings and would like information
on a specific bill are asked to call his legislative office to ensure
the information is available at the meetings.
Constituents who cannot make the meeting are encouraged to call or
e-mail Rep. Priest with questions or ideas. Priest can be reached at
(360) 786-7830 or priest.skip@leg.wa.gov.
