Vicki Warren, Mayor, City of Canyon Lake
Hello from Washington DC! Great day today. Attended the National League of Cities legislative training and learned about some important legislation and possible funding opportunities.
We are indeed a small city inside a large federal government. As a small city, we don't get noticed when it comes time to get some of the funding that is available to ALL cities across the United States, large and small. That's not all though.
There is also legislation looming would limit a city's ability to set certain fees. Our federal reps are poised to knock that down.
The opioid crisis is a hot topic right now, across our nation. There is underutilized funding available for opioid abuse prevention and treatment programs. Let's get our piece of that.
One of the great things about being a local government inside a federal government is the help we can get from our Uncle Sam.
We'll learn more about these, and other issues important to our cities, tomorrow.
I had no time for pictures today but I'll do better!
