WHAT IS THE GOAL OF THE INITIATIVE FOR LOCAL AID?
The ILA was created to assist individual advocacy by providing information at critical times and outlining specific courses of action enabling residents to act in unison. Our current goal is to increase state aid for education by motivating legislative change. We seek to acquire fair Chapter70 reform that includes adequate and equitable funding for municipalities in the Commonwealth.
