Yes, the American Rescue Plan and other federal legislation are huge topics for municipal leaders. That doesn’t mean we can take our eye off the ball for one second on the other issues affecting local government. Hear the latest on short-term rentals, Open Meetings Act, gravel mining, revenue sharing, shoreline erosion, and other policy topics of interest in Lansing and D.C. Your MML State and Federal Affairs team are on deck to keep you in the know.
