What is Forum Friday? In this webinar format, we discuss a timely research topic and invite notable guests and Forum members to join the conversation. We hope these events give Forum supporters and members from every corner of our state an opportunity to stay informed and connected on our state's most pressing public policy issues.

Join us Friday, October 17 for the latest installment of our virtual event series, Forum Friday! This discussion will focus on local referenda to address budget challenges. Though 2023 Act 12 gave a major state aid increase to municipalities and counties throughout the state, the uneven distribution of those dollars, record inflation, and other factors mean that many municipalities and counties face difficulties in balancing their budgets. A growing number are going to referendum to ask their residents to increase property taxes.
Our Forum Friday panelists will include:

As always, we’ll conclude with a Q&A session for registered participants. Registration is free, but required for this event.
