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.

Bura, Mayor of the City of Negresti-Oas, Romania. The woman he is
standing next to is Angela Stoica, Vice Mayor of Vulcan, Romania. The
others are City Council members from other Romanian towns.
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.
