Washington, D.C. – Today, NLC (as a member of the Big 7 in coordination with the Government Finance Officers Association), sent a letter to Congress urging immediate action to end the government shutdown (PDF). In our unified approach, we remind federal leadership that the longest shutdown in history is jeopardizing essential municipal services and undermining the vital federal–local partnership that millions in our country depend on.
