Why Municipal Government Works Best Thursday, October 6 – 8:45-10:00 a.m. SPECIAL SESSION! Elected Officials: Please join renowned Canadian Economist Dr. Brian Lee Crowley as he shares his country’s costly and failed efforts to force municipalities to regionalize – or “amalgamate,” as Canadians would call it. Crowley, a well-known television commentator and political expert in Ottawa, explains why municipalities are by far the most cost-effective, efficient level of government – and he has the data to prove it! Presenter: Dr. Brian Lee Crowley, Managing Director, Macdonald-Laurier Institute, Ottawa, Canada.
