Cities’ Engagement Brings Success
Together, municipal leaders made a difference this session
by Casey Cook Florida League of Cities
T
he 2022 Legislative Session would not have been as successful if not for you, our members. This year, you stepped up to make our collective voice heard. In a momentous year celebrating the Florida League of Cities’ (FLC’s) 100th anniversary, we saw record-breaking attendance in Tallahassee for Legislative Action Days. I echo League President Phillip Walker’s sentiment that bringing our united voices to the state Capitol in record numbers is perhaps the best way to honor FLC’s centennial anniversary. (Read more about Legislative Action Days on p. 40.) You met with legislators to advocate on behalf of our communities, and your engagement on key issues this session made a significant difference.
