Laura Mitchell Appointed to National League of Cities


Washington, D.C. – Laura Mitchell, Salisbury City Council Vice President has been reappointed to the National League of Cities (NLC) 2015 Finance, Administration and Intergovernmental Relations Steering Committee. This committee has the lead responsibility for developing NLC federal policy positions on issues involving national economic policy, general financial assistance programs, liability insurance, intergovernmental relations, census, municipal bonds and capital finance, municipal management, antitrust issues, citizen participation and civil rights, labor relations, Native American sovereignty and municipal authority. The appointment was announced by NLC President Ralph E. Becker, mayor, Salt Lake City, Utah.

“We do not live by our rules alone,” said Council Vice President Mitchell. “We are subject to State and Federal rules and regulations as well. Serving on the FAIR Committee gives Salisbury a voice in Washington, DC on federal matters that impact us. Issues like preserving the tax exempt status of our bonds, the loss of which likely add 2% to our borrowing costs. That equates to nearly $1M on a project the size of the wastewater treatment plant. Marketplace Fairness, another NLC legislative priority, is critical in keeping our small businesses competitive with online sellers. I am grateful for the opportunity to continue serving Salisbury in this way.”

As a member of the committee, Laura Mitchell will play a key role in shaping NLC’s policy positions and advocate on behalf of America’s cities and towns before Congress, with the Administration and at home.

The chair of this year’s Finance, Administration and Intergovernmental Relations Committee is Andy Hafen, mayor, Henderson, Nev. Serving as this year’s vice chairs are Cynthia Mangini, councilmember, Enfield, Conn. and Darius Brown, councilmember, Wilmington, Del.

The National League of Cities (NLC) is dedicated to helping city leaders build better communities. NLC is a resource and advocate for 19,000 cities, towns and villages, representing more than 218 million Americans.

NLC is a club, a club of government people, much like the Maryland Municipal League. A lobbying club at that.

Doubt very much she had to compete in any way for this position. Likely just volunteered and was taken.

Her quote would have been more accurate had she said "I am grateful for the opportunity to continue serving myself in this way.”

As someone said above, this is a resume builder. Also an excuse to travel and feel like a big wig on the taxpayer's dime.

Only IN America!! She's got the assistance programs down pat by now. As far as Islam goes, those goat eating camel jockeys need their home countries made of sand, turned to glass with a nuke before they get us with a radioactive dirty bomb. Our borders are wide open for people crossing illegally 24/7, if and when they do get their hands on the material, it will already be too late. We call it pre-emptive strikes, that's why the Saudi's want another Bush in the Whitehouse.

You are 100% accurate with this comment. However, now that I think about it I don't think she is building a resume for a real job, I think she just wants to put that on her literature when she tries to run for office again. Remember Laura the citizens in Wicomico County didn't want you. The held their noses and voted in 2 RINO's instead.

Ok... does no one else see the conflict of interest of this? She can't even manage her own life, yet she is on a committee for economic policies, assistance programs (that she uses).

No person should ever hold An elected position, or handle taxpyers monies if they are on government assistance. Including SS.

This is a major disgrace to our democracy. How can this pig get elected then represent someone on a national level. How embarrassing for this pig who slops at the government trough and is a drug addict. Only in America.

How is it that a person who has her hand out for assistance, can be responsible for financial issues on the National League of Cities she can't even pay her own bills etc without assistance. And her husband is fired for inappropriate behavior on his job. Do these people that elected her for either office have a clue? I guess not.
