The League has reached a milestone: its 125th anniversary!

JOIN US FOR THE LEGISLATIVE EVENT OF THE YEAR FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT! General sessions will include: • A breakdown with the League’s State and Federal Affairs team of the League’s legislative priorities, the key aspects of Governor Whitmer’s budget, and more. • A real-time focus group of Michigan residents will share what they believe makes a thriving community. • Insights from political insiders into state and national politics and policy. Breakouts will provide solutions to: • Housing • Collective bargaining • Health equity

In filings before the Michigan Supreme Court, the League argued for the need for a central municipal lobbying agency because of the Legislature’s need for information on the increasingly complex matters of concern to cities and villages. In a unanimous opinion in January 1947, the Supreme Court upheld the League’s position, and the League was able to continue its legislative activities. Our legislative activities remain impactful 77 years later.
