EXCERPT: “At the September 23 meeting of the Rushford City Countil, Elizabeth Wefel, attorney and lobbyist with Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities (CGMC), provided the council with a summary of the coalition’s work in the last legislative session. Rushford is a longtime member of the coalition, made up of more than 100 cities across the state. The group works on various issues including Local Government Aid/property taxes, environment and energy, economic development, transportation, annexation and land use, and labor and employment. ‘Going into the legislative session, 2023, there was fairly low expectations and I’ll be honest, I’m not even sure those expectations were met,’ began Wefels. ‘We knew going into it that there wasn’t going to be a lot of spending because there wasn’t a surplus. There were things we needed to fix from the previous year.'” FULL STORY: https://fluence-media.co/480E9jx
