NLC Seeks Federal Action to Help Cities Deal with Budget Problems

摘要

The National League of Cities (NLC) is seeking federal action to help cities deal with their budget problems and create jobs.rnAccording to an NLC report, the municipal sector faces budget shortfalls and cuts in state aid ranging from $56 billion to $83 billion over the next three years. Local budget cuts could result in the loss of 600,000 public and private sector jobs in 2010 and 900,000 jobs in 2011, the NLC says.
