LGDF Survey Critical to Strengthen Restoration Campaign

• As part of the campaign to restore the Local Government Distributive Fund (LGDF), the NWMC is conducting a survey to generate materials for distribution to the Governor, legislative leaders, and NWMC legislators. Members should have received the survey last week, but please contact the staff if you need the link. The Restore LGDF Coalition will utilize the survey data and information to generate a customized document for each Conference member.

• These one-pagers will assist communities and the Conference in communication with legislators heading into the spring 2023 legislative session. If your community has not yet responded to the survey, please do so by Wednesday, November 23. For further information, please contact NWMC Policy Analyst Chris Staron, cstaron@nwmc-cog.org.
