Move the county seat from Prosser? There were two informational meetings this week regarding the upcoming ballot initiative on Nov. 1 on moving the county seat from Prosser to the Tri-Cities. It’s a heated issue fueled by tradition and an economic impact on the city of Prosser. Are you in favor of relocating the county seat from Prosser, or do you want it to remain here? That is the question.The county courthouse is built in the classical revival style architechure and has been in place at it’s location since 1926. Benton County was formed in 1905 from portions of Klickitat and Yakima Counties with Prosser designated as the county seat. The first battle to move the county seat erupted in 1912 and although Kennewick received the majority of the votes, it did not get the 60 percent required by law to make it official. Please send your letters to the editor regarding this issue. You do have a voice and we at the Record-Bulletin want to hear your thoughts and feelings on this. Send your letters to editor@recordbulletin.com and we will have them published in the Forum Section of our newspaper.
