We have finally posted the full length video from the Large Urban County Caucus "Rally on Capitol Hill" on the NACo Channel. The April 14 event was in support of H.R. 4812 - The Local Jobs for America Act - legislation to “provide federal funds to states, local governments, and community-based organizations to save and create local jobs through the retention, restoration, or expansion of services needed by local communities.”
Joining NACo President-elect Glen Whitley and LUCC Chair Ilene Lieberman, who led the three-day "fly-in" advocacy effort, were Rep. John Sarbanes and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz. The bill's sponsor is Rep. George Miller, who chairs the House Committee on Education and Labor.
