Editorial: As county officials meet in Reno, future is cloudy for local governments

Thoughtful editorial in today's Reno Gazette Journal as a result of yesterday's meeting between NACo President Valerie Brown and President-elect Glen Whitley and the newspapers' editorial board. Here's the money line:

"With all the attention that's been paid to Congress as the recession took root in the country in the past couple of years, the NACo meeting in Reno is an important reminder that it's local governments -- cities and counties -- that actually have the greatest impact on the everyday lives of Americans."

Amen.
