Governor McDonnell’s
Task Force for Local Government
Mandate Review
Local Governments face serious challenges when trying to balance their budgets during complex financial times. This difficulty is exacerbated when the state places burdensome mandates on localities. This Task Force – created by Governor McDonnell as a result of legislation introduced by Senator Steve Newman (R-Bedford) – will identify mandates imposed on localities that are overly burdensome or unnecessary and recommend appropriate changes, providing relief to local governments.
