This survey is an example of what the City of Puyallup should have done before coming up with any proposal to build a Public Safety Building. A public process outside of intimidating city council meetings, starting with a brainstorming session facilitated by objective professionals, to survey Puyallup voters about what they want in a Public Safety Building, is how city council should have started this process, and should do with any project of this magnitude in the future. This survey will help inform Puyallup Voters for Integrity and we’ll share the results on election day.
