The newly expanded Clark County council is working on some New Year’s resolutions of its own.
At its 6 p.m. meeting Tuesday, the first meeting of the five-person body, the councilors will consider repealing eight resolutions, all of which were written and developed by Republican Councilor David Madore, and approved at the council’s Dec. 22 meeting.
The resolutions covered subjects ranging from opposing all light rail projects and bus rapid transit projects, to creating task forces to consider new bridges over the Columbia River, and to supporting “free market” development principles. The resolutions are not binding law, rather symbolic policy statements.
