Local Government Aid (LGA) is police, fire protection, libraries, safe roads, parks, and more. Cutting LGA, as Gov. Pawlenty has proposed, will result in cuts to core city services and weaken a city's economic health. If you value your city services, contact the governor and your legislators and tell them that cutting LGA is the wrong direction for Minnesota.
