As his first 100 days in office draw to a close, King County Executive Dow Constantine plans to outline his reform agenda for county government in a series of speeches next week.
Constantine was elected in November after running on a reform agenda, promising to change the culture of King County government to emphasize customer service and efficiency.
Facing likely budget cuts in 2011 and 2012, he has stressed finding savings by reducing waste, but has conceded that will not be enough and tax raises could be necessary to prevent deep cuts in services.
He will address the Metropolitan King County Council at 11 a.m. March 8. The next day, March 9, he will speak to two meeting of regional civic and business leaders. His first appearance will be before the Bellevue Rotary Club at noon. At 4 p.m., Constantine will speak at the Seattle Chamber of Commerce board of trustees meeting. On March 12, he will address the Maple Valley Rotary Club at 7:15 a.m.
