Dan Gilmartin, MML<\/p><\/div>\n

Michigan Municipal League released a statement earlier this week about the U.S. Senate approving a $1 trillion plan to address the nation\u2019s infrastructure needs. The statement is from Dan Gilmartin, the League\u2019s CEO and Executive Director.<\/p>\n

Here is the statement we sent out to the media:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Michigan Municipal League applauds the U.S. Senate\u2019s vote today approving the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. This investment takes a critical step toward ensuring access to safe roads, clean drinking water, reliable public transit, and high-speed broadband across Michigan and the nation. We implore the House to act quickly so these resources can be deployed. Bold action must continue in our effort to strengthen communities and improve the quality of life for residents. Congressional leaders should continue to work toward providing resources that support communities, address our housing needs, invest in our workforce, and foster sustainable and resilient places. It is time to meet this challenge and fully realize our nation\u2019s enormous capacity to equitably invest in community wealth building, and we are ready and willing to add our voice to the process.\u201d<\/p>\n

For additional information, contact the League\u2019s Matt Bach, assistant director of strategic communications, at (810) 874-1073 (cell) and mbach@mml.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Michigan Municipal League<\/em><\/a> is dedicated to making Michigan\u2019s communities better by thoughtfully innovating programs, energetically connecting ideas and people, actively serving members with resources and services, and passionately inspiring positive change for Michigan\u2019s greatest centers of potential: its communities. The League advocates on behalf of its member communities in Lansing, Washington, D.C., and the courts; provides educational opportunities for elected and appointed municipal officials; and assists municipal leaders in administering services to their communities through League programs and services.
