Mayor of Orting Sends Balanced Budget to Council (Again & Again)

After several years of unbalanced budgets under previous administrations and fighting against a new proposed utility tax, Mayor Penner, of Orting, sends a balanced budget to the council in his first year. The balanced budget not only limits expenditures to less than revenue, but it lays out a path for the construction of two critical city facilities, increased public safety investment, and park construction funds.
