Term expiration information indicates when the balance of power may change. It also helps you to predict how the executive’s power to sign or veto might influence a bill’s process through the legislature.

Below provides a list of the mayors from municipalities with popu- lations over 500,000. Knowing the political party and term expiration of the mayor can help you decipher the balance of political power in these cities.

Ordinances may address a wide variety of local issues, from lo- cal government structure to speed limits and sign sizes. The process for passing an ordinance is determined by the laws of each individual state, though there are many similarities between states. The diagram below portrays how the ordinance process generally works. 38 Definitions

During this time of soaring unemployment, financial insecurity, and growing hunger, we urge Congress to temporarily increase SNAP benefit levels in the next federal COVID-19 relief package. America’s cities are on the front line of responding to unprecedented disruption to local economies triggered by COVID-19. As mayors, we need every option available to fight hunger and stimulate the economy in our cities. SNAP is a proven solution to both challenges. By providing families with a grocery benefit they can use to purchase food directly, SNAP is a safe, effective way to ensure that low-income children and their families can get the food they need during this unprecedented crisis. While the FFCRA provided USDA with authority to increase emergency SNAP allotments for existing SNAP households to the maximum benefit, the most vulnerable families—roughly 12 million people, including 5 million children—received no additional nutrition assistance because their household already received the maximum SNAP benefit.

    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.

As part of this effort, the CFE Fund announced the selection of 31 city and county governments to launch a new Financial Navigator initiative, which will provide their residents one-on-one remote sessions to help navigate the financial impact of COVID-19 through access to local, state, and federal resources. In addition, the CFE Fund announced an expansion of its Financial Empowerment Center (FEC) initiative, which offers professional, data-driven one-on-one financial counseling as a public service, funding additional counselors in FEC partner cities, as well as pivoting its national FEC infrastructure to accommodate remote services. These new and enhanced financial navigation and counseling services come in the face of increasing individual and family, with some FEC cities already experiencing as much as a 40% increase in demand for financial counseling services.

    GTMO by the Numbers Fact Sheet

    FACT SHEET: July 1, 2020 National Security Figures Oppose Commemorating Confederacy on Military Facilities Support Among Former National Security Officials and Retired Military Leaders for Renaming Army Bases Named After Confederate Soldiers Former Defense Secretary, Robert Gates: “It [is] time to rid the American military of symbols that represent ‘the dark side of our history’” General (Ret.) and Former CIA Director, David Petraeus: “The irony of training at bases named for those who took up arms against the United States, and for the right to enslave others, is inescapable to anyone paying attention. Now, belatedly, is the moment for us to pay such attention.” Air Force General (Ret.) and Former CIA and NSA Director, Michael Hayden: “[It’s] a great idea [to rename bases with Confederate names]” Former Special Presidential Envoy for the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS, Special Assistant to the President, and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Brett McGurk: “Thoughtful reflections coming from currently serving and retired Generals and Admirals [on the need to replace the names of Army bases and remove Confederate symbols]” Former Secretary of the Army, Director of the White House Military Office, and Retired Army Officer Louis Caldera, and Former Ambassador and Retired Decorated Army Officer Charles Ray: “Intentionally or unintentionally, the current name continues to celebrate a cause and set of beliefs that dishonor the sacrifices of all soldiers, regardless of ethnicity who train at this installation.” Former Ambassador and Retired Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps, John Estrada: “[The Confederate flag] represents bondage. It represents people who embrace that” Former Secretary of State Counselor, Eliot Cohen: “[…] Their cause was that of chattel slavery.
