NACo President Valerie Brown, President-elect Glen Whitley, and Executive Director Larry Naake met with the Editorial Board of USA Today this morning in their Tyson's Corner (McLean, Va.) offices. The meeting occurred on the last day - Capitol Hill Day - of our 2010 Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C.
Brian Gallagher, Editor of the Editorial Board, was a gracious host for us and we had a terrific meeting about county governments' essential role in American society. They talked about health care reform, federal stimulus spending, how partisanship at the state and federal level too often gets in the way of serving the public, and other issues.
President Brown and President-elect Whitley's main point to the editorial page of the second largest newspaper in America: Counties matter for so many reasons.
