Two Bellevue members of the King County Council are looking forward to working with County Executive Dow Constantine and his recently announced “Blueprint for Reform.”

Jane Hague, vice chair of the council, said she favors “addressing the county’s structural deficit through better financial stewardship while creating a culture of service and results.”

Added councilmember Reagan Dunn.

“I was encouraged that Executive Constantine prioritized the key problems facing county government and proposed some broad solutions for fixing them. Many of his messages are ones that I have championed for years.”

Immediate improvement of customer service, increased partnership with cities in King County on regional issues, and the creation of a Cabinet-level position for a director of Labor Relations were among the proposals presented by Constantine to the council as he spoke about his first 100 days in office.

Constantine also called for creating a sustainable county budget through a countywide effort to drive down the annual growth in the cost of doing business to the level of background inflation while discussing a cap on expenditures when revenues rebound in the future so that the savings could be tapped during recessionary downturns
