June 11 – Preemption: Local Financing

Speaker: Erin Scharff

*FREE LIVE FOR IMLA MEMBERS!  

This year, local governments served in critical leadership roles in the public health response to COVID-19 and in efforts to provide welfare to those whose livelihoods have been threatened by the pandemic. As centers of democratic activity, local governments provide essential public services for people, from safety infrastructure to innovative policies that create thriving, healthy communities. Yet, local governments continue to face significant fiscal challenges.

This webinar will discuss the Local Solutions Support Center’s recent white paper, The Essential Role of Fiscal Authority in Local Democracy, which researches the decreased use of state aid and the increased use of preemption to limit the authority local governments need to raise revenue or receive funding. It will provide an overview of the recent trend of state preemption policies that have further limited local fiscal authority, and offer suggestions for policies that allow municipalities to better carry out their important responsibilities as engines of local democracy.
