Md. Democrat challenges Obama budget, saying it will decrease local revenue
This may be a first: a major news organization - in this case NBC.com's First Read blog - cites a NACo policy brief and links to it.
The Maryland Congressman, a former county executive, makes an important point about changing the tax exempt status of municipal bonds which local government uses to raise monies to build America's critical infrastructure such as schools, hospitals, roads and bridges: it will have a negative impact on local communities.
Protecting the tax exempt status of municipal bonds is a NACo priority.
