    ABOUT THE NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES The National League of Cities (NLC) is the nation’s leading advocacy organization devoted to strengthening and promoting cities as centers of opportunity, leadership and governance. Through its membership and partnerships with state municipal leagues, NLC serves as a resource and advocate for more than 19,000 cities and towns and more than 218 million Americans. NLC’s Center for City Solutions & Applied Research provides research and analysis on key topics and trends important to cities, creative solutions to improve the quality of life in communities, inspiration and ideas for local officials to use in tackling tough issues and opportunities for city leaders to connect with peers, share experiences and learn about innovative approaches in cities. ABOUT THE AUTHORS Micah Farver is an Associate of Finance and Economic Development, Christiana K. McFarland is Research Director and Brooks Rainwater is Center Director in NLC’s Center for City Solutions & Applied Research. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We would like to acknowledge Tim Mudd, Senior Associate on NLC’s Stategic Communications team, and Raksha Vasudevan, former Senior Associate in NLC’s Center for City Solutions & Applied Research, for their early leadership efforts with the State of the Cities project. Special thanks to Soren Messner–Zidell, who created the data visualizations and designed the report, and to the following NLC staff who contributed content: James Brooks, Nicole DuPuis, Elisha Harig-Blaine, Cooper Martin, Emily Pickren, and Emily Robbins. We are grateful for the leadership of our nation’s mayors and this opportunity to elevate their work. For the first time in human history, the majority of the world’s population (54%) lives in urban areas, including 80 percent of Americans.1 This number is expected to grow to 66 percent of the world’s population by 2050.2 Increasing population growth in cities not only leads to greater citizen demand on local government but also creates an entire new ecosystem in which local governments must respond and adapt.

WHEN CONGRESS PASSES AN INTENTIONALLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW: THE MILITARY COMMISSIONS ACT OF 2006 Paul A. Diller* When Congresspasses a law with the intent that it be invalidated or sub- stantially altered by the courts- "intentionally unconstitutional" legisla- tion-Congress abdicates its role as a co-equal interpreter of the Constitution. Intentionally unconstitutionallegislation is particularlyprob- lematic in the national-security context, in which the Supreme Court has traditionally relied upon Congress to assist it in defining the limits of execu- tive power. This Article argues that Section 7 of the Military Commissions Act of 2006, which attempted to strip the federal courts of jurisdiction to hear habeas petitions by alien enemy combatants held at Guantdnamo and other foreign sites, was intentionally unconstitutional legislation because some key legislatorssupported or facilitated the Act's passage while simul- taneously arguing that Section 7 violated the Constitution.

    March 8 – March 15, 2018 COMMUNITY STREETCAR COALITION NEWS CLIPS COMPILED BY BROADCAST CLIPS El Paso KDBC March 15, 2018 LINK: http://bit.ly/2DuU9ux The first streetcar is finally headed to El Paso. Representative Peter Svarzbein was in Brooksville, Pennsylvania; that’s where the refurbished streetcar was prepped and loaded for the journey back to the borderland. After all the chains were attached, streetcar #1506 was out of the factory. Svarzbein did not say when it’s expected to arrive. Oklahoma City KWTV March 13, 2018 LINK: http://bit.ly/2FO4zaA In today’s Oklahoma City business report, another step forward for the streetcar project in downtown Oklahoma City. Yesterday another one of the seven total streetcars was delivered to the Metro. After the delivery of the Clear Sky Blue car, the Redbud car went for a short test run. EMBARK says so far things are going smoothly. Things are working as expected, and so we’re just continuing to learn ourselves, because this is the first time we’ve had rail vehicle on city streets in more than half a century. Each of these cars will go through extensive test runs before any passengers get on board. Milwaukee WTMJ March 13, 2018 LINK: http://bit.ly/2FTUJqH A potential roadblock for the next phase of the Milwaukee streetcar project. Our partners at the Milwaukee Business Journal reporting that the city failed to win a $20 million federal grant for the second time. It would have helped pay for an extension to the new Bucks arena.

    Who Runs Our Cities? The Political Gender Gap in the Top 100 U.S. Cities SEPTEMBER 2016 This report is authored by the staff of the CUNY Institute for State and Local Governance: Jocelyn Drummond, Qian Zhang, and Victoria Lawson ABOUT THE CUNY INSTITUTE FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNANCE The CUNY Institute for State and Local Governance’s mission is to bridge the gap between researchers, practitioners, and policymakers using data and research to help government produce better results, worthy of public investment and trust. Our expertise includes data analysis for a wide array of purposes—including cost-benefit analysis, performance evaluation, and the development of performance indicators—and fiscal management for both short- and long-term planning. ABOUT THE EQUALITY INDICATORS The Equality Indicators measure progress toward achieving greater equality in New York City and other cities in the United States and internationally. This report was made possible by the generous support of the Rockefeller Foundation. We are indebted to Besiki Kutateladze, former ISLG Research Director, for his ideas and guidance.
