During her address at #CalCitiesAnnual, Executive Director and CEO @CColeman_Cities highlighted the true value of local government leadership.
“Your residents trust you because you answer the calls, you show up, and you listen. Your residents trust you because they feel seen by you, and they know where you are.”
An important reminder of what it means to lead at the local level. 👏

🚨 California loosened pension rules once without guardrails, and it cost taxpayers billions. PEPRA helped fix it — AB 1383 threatens to undo that progress.
Cities can't afford to absorb another costly unfunded mandate. Urge the Governor to VETO AB 1383.
