Those who choose not to brave the humidity and excessive heat warnings in D.C. can join in real time the Municipal Finance Conference July 17-18. Held at the Brookings Institution and cosponsored by the Daniels School, the conference brings together regulators, academics, issuers and more to discuss state and local fiscal issues. Now in its 13th year, the conference has become the premiere venue to debate research and encourage adoption of data-based best practices in the realm of municipal finance and economic and fiscal issues affecting state and local governments.
