On the next municipal equation. So there used to be a much more egalitarian relationship between the different levels of government in terms of paying the infrastructure bill.

Sounds like bad news. But wait. We're gonna talk about infrastructure and a recent national study about the deplorable condition that it's gotten to and how the burden of paying for it keeps sliding to local government and what we might be able to do about that. We'll have a great conversation about infrastructure with authorities, national, state, and local, and we'll hear about some creative solutions that you might be able to try in your hometown. That's on the next Municipal Equation from the North Carolina League of Municipalities. It's available around the globe at soundcloud.com/municipalequation.
