As counties throughout the nation continue to face budget shortfalls, lay-offs and service reductions,the National Association of Counties (NACo)  will  advocate for continued funding for county programs. NACo has outlined its 2011 legislative priorities for the 112th Congress as follows:

• Save jobs by repealing the three percent tax withholding requirement
• Support job creation by enacting aviation and surface transportation program reauthorizations
• Opposition to job killing unfunded mandates and preemptions
• Support county health priorities
• Support Job Creation by Making Rural Development a Priority within Farm Bill Reauthorization
