The city has opted not to hire a lobbyist to push for an early island-wide vote on changing Bainbridge’s form of government.
Instead, the city will leave the lobbying in Olympia to the Association of Washington Cities, a group in which the city is already a dues-paying member.
“It’s a great solution because it doesn’t cost us anything,” said City Councilman Kjell Stoknes, who joined his colleagues last week in supporting the altered plan.
