Learn about OML's priorities for this legislative session:

• Transportation Funding: We will focus on the need to support increased state funding for municipal roads and bridges. Currently, 42% of the miles drive are on roads inside a city/town limits. Yet, we only receive a little over 2% of state funding.

• Agency Accountability: Require state agencies whose rules and regulations have an impact on municipal government to become more efficient, cost-effective, transparent and accountable.

• Pension Reform: Learn what the OML Pension Working Group has focused on regarding true pension reform that will help make the pension systems actuarially sound.

Our goal is to provide municipal members with the information they need to accurately explain to the citizens in your community as well as your local legislators about the issues that cities and towns face.
