Tallahassee Mayor Honored with 2019 Home Rule Hero Award
Mayor John E. Dailey recognized for Outstanding Advocacy during 2019 Legislative Session
May 17, 2019
Tallahassee Mayor John E. Dailey was recently honored by the Florida League of Cities as a 2019 Home Rule Hero Award recipient. Dailey earned this prestigious award for his tireless efforts to protect the Home Rule powers of Florida's municipalities and advance the League's legislative agenda during the 2019 legislative session.
Home Rule is the ability for a city to address local problems with local solutions with minimal state interference. Home Rule Hero Award recipients are local government officials, both elected and nonelected, who consistently responded to the League's requests to reach out to members of the legislature and help give a local perspective to an issue.
"The dedication and effort of these local officials during the 2019 legislative session was extraordinary," FLC Legislative Director Scott Dudley said. "These are some of our biggest advocates for municipal issues, and they're shining examples of local advocacy in action. On behalf of the League and its legislative team, we're proud to recognize each and every one of them and thank them for their service."
Founded in 1922, the Florida League of Cities is the united voice for Florida's municipal governments. Its goals are to promote local self-government and serve the needs of Florida's cities. Florida's cities are formed by their citizens and governed by their citizens. The League is founded on the belief that local self-government is the keystone of American democracy.
