members are people like you, interested in maintaining good government and
willing to get involved. They read the League's Issue Watch and
MuniNews publications to stay informed about the issues facing local
governments. They join study committees, such as those on transportation and
growth management, among others, and serve on the Candidate Evaluation
Committees.
