Washington D.C. – “The National League of Cities thanks both the Senate and House for passing the CR (Continuing Resolution) to avoid a federal government shutdown. This bipartisan measure ensures sustained funding for essential programs that support local governments and the communities they serve. NLC looks forward to ongoing collaboration with our federal partners as Congress works to secure a long-term solution to address the needs of cities, towns and villages throughout the nation.”
– Clarence Anthony, CEO and Executive Director, National League of Cities
Earlier this week, NLC published a blog explaining the disruptions to local governments a shutdown would have caused.
