About MMA MMA News MMA holds fall Legislative Breakfast meetings
Local officials from across the state are invited to meet with their legislators this fall during eight free Legislative Breakfast meetings that the MMA is sponsoring across the state.
The meetings will bring together municipal officials and legislators to talk about state and local finances for the rest of this year and for fiscal 2012.
The meetings will also provide an opportunity to share ideas for the new legislative session, which starts in January, and ways that the governor and the Legislature can reform state laws to help cities and towns control costs, including health insurance.
The meetings will also provide an opportunity to talk about other issues expected to come before the Legislature next year, including a long-awaited rewrite of zoning and other land-use statutes, the Chapter 90 local road and bridge program and other local capital programs, and many other high-profile topics.
Local officials are urged to take advantage of this opportunity to describe the problems that communities face, discuss potential solutions, and address what can be done collaboratively to enhance the quality of life for residents and taxpayers.
The Legislative Breakfast meetings will be held on the following Fridays: Oct. 1, Oct. 8 and Oct. 15. The meetings begin at 8 a.m. with coffee and networking. The program will run from 8:30 to 10 a.m.
