Puyallup City Council District 1 Member Jim Kastama increased taxes and fees in 2024-25 without public approval. Puyallup Voters for Integrity is launching a survey aimed at District 1 voters to gauge awareness and opinions regarding the tax increases and staff cuts associated with Kastama’s proposal to renovate a rented police station building. The survey will maintain confidentiality and publish results weekly until election day to inform resource allocation for candidate accountability. Voters can also express their preferences for candidates, including Kastama or challenger Jeff Bennett who is campaigning on fiscal responsibility.
