MMA holding Legislative Breakfast Meetings in March

Sen. Joanne Comerford discusses legislative priorities with local leaders during an MMA Legislative Breakfast Meeting on March 1 in Greenfield.

Registration is now open for the MMA’s spring series of Legislative Breakfast Meetings, which will be held on March 1, 8 and 15.

Each year, the MMA hosts a series of meetings in communities across the Commonwealth to give local leaders, legislators and MMA staff the opportunity to network in an informal setting and learn about and discuss issues of importance at the local and state level.

The spring series of breakfasts will take place as legislative priorities are taking shape for the new session, and as the Legislature begins its work on a fiscal 2025 state budget plan.

Discussions will also be centered on the many bills and issues that continue to be on the MMA’s radar for the new session, including the Municipal Empowerment Act, PFAS regulations, road and bridge funding, the housing bond bill, and more.

Municipal officials from every community are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to discuss issues of importance with MMA staff and legislators. Attendees are also urged to contact their local legislators and invite them to attend.

At these free meetings, a light breakfast and coffee will be provided at 8:30 a.m (8 a.m. for the Greenfield meeting). Introductions will begin shortly thereafter, followed by presentations and a Q&A session. The meetings will end by 10:30 a.m.
