The Institute interviewed local elected officials to get their
input on what kinds of information newly elected officials
need. We are in the process of developing additional
materials to respond to those interviews, but we want to make
sure our to-do list is complete.
Contact us with suggestions on what to include or offers of
assistance to build out this portion of the Institute’s website.
To better serve local government our website has moved
up to an improved platform. With any move, glitches can
happen – please let us know if you find any by emailing kplag@ca-ilg.org. Thank
