Whereas, cities and towns provide essential services, such as law enforcement, fire protection, health and sanitation, recreation, and growth and development controls to protect and enhance quality of life for all citizens of the State; and
Whereas, the amenities and services that cities and towns provide to residents attract business and industry to the region; and
Whereas, mayors and councilmembers are the local elected leaders who guide the growth and development of cities and towns, leading to the success of the State and the region; and
