Trenton, NJ - On Thursday, November 16, in Atlantic City
13 resolutions articulating the new legislative and policy priorities
for the League of Municipalities were adopted at the Annual Business
meeting held during the League’s 102nd Annual Conference.
These resolutions were proposed by officials who are
currently in municipal office and are general in nature with
demonstrable relation to municipal government interests. Previously, on
Tuesday, November 14, the League Resolutions Committee screened these
resolutions. The Committee was chaired by the newly elected League
President James Cassella, Mayor of East Rutherford.
In the year to come, these resolutions will be key
priorities for the League, and NJLM staff will be working with the
sponsors of the resolutions to line up legislative sponsors, as well
as taking other steps to see the implementation of these resolutions.
A title summary for each resolution is below.
