Odd allies fight against taxing municipal bonds
NACo is hitting the muni bond issue hard this year, trying to convince Washington not to change the tax-exempt status of municipal bonds. This article in POLITICO was a result of a press conference NACo, the U.S. Conference of Mayors and the National League of Cities held on Feb. 27 at the National Press Club. NACo leadership met with editors and reporters from POLITICO two days later and continued to stress the importance of the issue for counties and cities, who use muni bonds to build America's critical infrastructure and create jobs.
Jim Philipps is NACo's Media Relations Manager. He has worked in media and government communications inside and outside of Washington, D.C. for nearly 20 years.
