Saturday I attended the
Lake County Municipal League's (LCML) annual Legislative Meeting along with Trustee
Michael Blum and Trustee
Sherry Perkowitz. There were about 70 attendees from around the county, maybe 20 mayors, 10 state legislators, and a variety of trustees attended. The major initiatives that were on the agenda were as follows:
- Transportation-- Develop a capital plan to fund the 2005 and 2006 projects.
- Education Funding Reform-- A more equitable state education funding formula and including accountability of local districts.
- Improve academic and fiscal accountability, management practices and cost control efforts.
- Develop an accountability system & stick with it.
- New State revenues to under-funded school districts.
There was quite a bit of other issues that we took stands on, such as pension reform, and reform of the Motor Fuel Tax administration.
