THE METROPOLITAN MAYORS CAUCUS IN THE NEWS
In May, Caucus Chairman Tom Murawski, the Mayor of the Village of Midlothian, met with municipal officials from Romania to discuss intergovernmental cooperation.
Romania is in the process of becoming a member of the European Union. This will create enormous challenges that the country’s political and economic communities continue to identify. To avoid many of the problems in this process, they need to resolve many of the emerging issues on a mutual basis. Mayor Murawski spoke with the officials about how the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus works, and discussed the role of local Councils of Government.

Midlothian Mayor Thomas Murawski, chairman of the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, discussed the Clean Air Counts program during a May 18th interview on Comcast cable television’s “Community Connections” program, broadcast throughout the metropolitan area in late May. The program also featured coverage from Northbrook’s Earth and Arbor Day Celebration and interviews with Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, Northbrook Village Manager John Novinson and U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Region V Acting Deputy Administrator Norman Niedergang.
Comcast worked with the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus to highlight the Clean Air Counts program and the success of air friendly municipal programs throughout the region.
