As Mayor of Wayland, Jenifer Antel sees firsthand how residents are empowered when they’re given the opportunity to shape their community’s future.  🔮 On the flip side, sweeping #housing mandates disenfranchise residents from engaging in local decision-making!

The worst kind of development is not low-density sprawl. It's high-density configured to be unwalkable and unservable by public transit. High-density = high traffic, and this guarantees all that traffic is in cars. Sadly the US exported this idea all over the world.

Local control is an extension of your personal freedom. The government works best when it listens to the people on the ground instead of issuing orders from the top down. We don't need more control from bureaucrats, we need leadership that empowers families, businesses, and communities to chart their own mission forward. That starts with local control. 🇺🇸

“We’ve proven that it works… local governments can tailor funding to what their communities need and deliver results quickly.” — @DPGilmartin, Executive Director and CEO of the @MMLeague

Our newest episode of the CitiesSpeak podcast marks the five-year anniversary of the American Rescue Plan Act’s State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF), highlighting how direct federal investment helped stabilize communities and drive economic recovery nationwide.

Guest host Irma Esparza Diggs, NLC’s Senior Executive and Director of Federal Advocacy, leads a discussion with state municipal league leaders on how ARPA funding reached communities of all sizes during a moment of unprecedented economic uncertainty. At the height of the pandemic, revenue shortfalls threatened widespread municipal layoffs, service reductions and long-term economic disruption.

Panelists include @MikeFina, Executive Director of the @OklaMuniLeague; Dan Gilmartin, Executive Director and CEO of the Michigan Municipal League; and Todd Glover, Executive Director of the @MuniAssnSC. Together, they reflect on how direct funding enabled local governments to maintain essential services, invest in infrastructure and support local economies.

Was happy to join the chorus and tout the great work local governments are doing with ARPA funds. #Partnershipoverpreemption

When it comes to housing, the data speaks volumes. We can't allow misleading metrics to justify concentrating power at the state level and overriding local zoning decisions. 📊🚫

Some say MI should be like FL and TX and preempt local gov't to solve the housing crisis. But the data shows something different👇. Perhaps preemption isn’t the answer for Michigan’s housing needs. 🤔
