Fayette County Commissioner Herb Frady has been named a member of the National Association of Counties' Taxation and Finance Steering Committee by NACo president C. Vernon Gray.

NACo's ten steering committees form the policy-making arm of the association. Each committee is comprised of approximately 50-60 county officials who meet several times a year to examine issues critical to local government.

Frady's committee focuses on financial resources of counties, fiscal management, federal assistance, municipal borrowing, county revenues, federal budget and federal tax reform.

The group's recommendations on legislative policies and goals are presented to NACo's membership during the association's annual conference. If approved, the recommendations become part of the American County Platform, the basis for the organization's lobbying efforts before Congress and the White House.
