LFP residents reminded that campaigning is not allowed during council meetings

Washington law (RCW 42. 17A. 555) prohibits campaigning for or against ballot measures during City Council meetings. This includes the Public Comment period, where residents cannot express their opinions on the proposed levy lid lift. The City advises individuals to share their views on their own time, using personal resources rather than City platforms.

This legal framework is designed to ensure neutrality in public discussions and prevent the misuse of public facilities for political purposes. Local officials stress the significance of complying with these regulations to maintain order and fairness during meetings. Residents should understand the limitations placed on them regarding public discourse in official settings. The reminder reflects ongoing efforts to uphold the integrity of local governance. The law affects how community members engage with local government on issues that matter to them.
