Policy and Research Leadership on MLC's Work on Fiscal Issues Upcoming Events Past Events

The Midwestern Legislative Conference regularly tracks and reports on issues related to state budgets and fiscal policy. Additionally, it typically holds a roundtable discussion and session for the region’s fiscal leaders at the MLC Annual Meeting. The MLC’s goal is to provide a forum for state and provincial legislators to exchange information on fiscal conditions in the region as well as to learn about best practices in budget management. This work is led by Kansas Rep. Troy Waymaster and Minnesota Rep. Fue Lee. For information, please contact CSG Midwest director Laura Tomaka.
