Local government affects you in your own household. Among their impacts they provide the policing, noise control, and local roads.

The Pierce County Council meets at a totally inconvenient time for working families, 3:00 p.m. on Tuesdays, but you can call or email your councilperson’s office. It is likely to be more effective to call or write, than attending a meeting when an ordinance is in final passage anyway. Create a relationship with your council office. They need to know their constituents, so very few actually interact with them.

Here are the other points of contact with your County Council while they are making changes to your communities:
