The National Association of Counties (NACo) legislative conference was held this week in Washington D.C.. As part of this annual conference, MAC meets with our congressional delegation to talk about federal issues affecting counties. This year the major topics for discussion included:

The Farm Bill and PILT Payments
Tax Exempt Municipal Bonds
Waters of the U.S. Guidance Proposal – Federal Overreach to Control Michigan Waters
Medicaid Expansion and Medicaid Coverage for Pre-Trial Detainees
Federal MAP-21 Transportation Funding and;
Marketplace Fairness (sales tax on e-commerce)

MAC would especially like to thank Senators Levin and Stabenow for their consistent dedication to meeting with all of our conference attendees each year to discuss issues of importance to counties. This annual tradition affords our commissioners quality time to have questions answered and to relay upcoming issues of concern to Michigan counties.
