Supporting finance for our Communities

Our Priorities

We support sensible policies that enable our state and local governments to tap into the $4 trillion municipal market and finance critical infrastructure that builds strong, healthy, economically vibrant communities. We serve as a brain trust and resource for policymakers looking to strengthen financing tools for our communities. Specifically, we focus on federal tax and securities laws governing municipal markets.
