How does the GLMA Board determine which priority is the most important?
Our lobbyist will advise us in determining what is a realistic goal based on the political reality. Factors such a shortfall or increase in the state revenue, the agenda of the Governor, whether the Democrats or Republicans dominate the legislature, etc. will influence what goals we seek in each legislative session. Thus, our agenda may not be focused on our first priority if the political atmosphere does not support it. As the legislative session progresses, we may also need to change our focus as our cake is being baked in a political oven and the temperature changes at the capitol.
