PACD Legislative Program

APRIL

At this time we will be gearing up for the budget process and focusing on how the state budget affects folks close to home.

Suggested District Action: Follow up budget information

Districts may send out another press release to local press and a letter to legislators concerning the budget. We suggest the letter highlight programs that may suffer in your district if the proposed budget does not include adequate district funding. Or if the budget proposal is satisfactory, let the legislators know that any funding decreases in the budget may be burdensome. By personalizing the funding deficiencies, it serves to localize the issue. If you are planning a local fall legislative event, establish a planning committee.

PACD Action: We will provide a model letter and press release, and ask districts to personalize local issues in those documents.
