King County Executive Initiatives move forward with passage of 2007 county budget
The Executive’s efforts to protect the environment, combat global warming, find health insurance for children and fund recommendations by the Blue Ribbon Panel on the Sheriff will move forward next year with the unanimous approval today of the nearly $4 billion budget by the King County Council.
"This budget preserves our triple-A bond rating while funding criminal justice and enhancing the basic infrastructure that are fundamental to our public health, economy and quality of life," Executive Ron Sims said.
