Mike Lindberg Gets
Leadership Post On
NLC ’’Futures’’ Panel
Commissioner Mike Lindberg of
Portland, Ore., has been named vice
chairman of a special group of munici­
pal leaders within the National League
of Cities that examines emerging issues
which arc likely to have broad effects
on cities and towns throughout the
United States.
Lindberg was appointed to the lead­
ership post on the NLC Advisory Coun­
cil by League President Glenda E. Hood,
city commissioner of Orlando, Fla. The
council, chaired this year by City Di­
rector Lottie Shackelford of Litde Rock,
Ark., is made up of more than 50 vet­
eran leaders of NLC who have already
served as members of the League's board
of directors.
"Mike Lindberg has provided
thoughtful leadership and a tremen­
dous level of personal energy and com­
mitment to NLC, tnd tremendous level
of personal energy and commitment to
NLC, and we are delighted that he can
take on this new leadership role," said
Commissioner Hood.
The Advisory Council develops
recommendations for the NLC board
and policy committees about the poten­
tial impacts of emerging issues that are
likely to affect American communities.
A new "futures" project, focusing
on families and children, will be
launched by the Advisory Council this
year. The group will hold its first meet­
ing on March 8 during the 1992 con-
jressional-City Conference in Wash­
ington.
"The importance of this year's
Advisory Council agenda has been un­
derscored by President Bush's plans to
establish a Presidential commission on
Urban Families," Hood said. "A group
of NLC leaders had suggested such a
commission at a White House meeting
with the president, and we intend to
support the work of this commission
with the best ideas and resources we can
otter."

Can’t Pay? File Anyway
If you can’t pay your taxes, you
should still file your tax return on time.
The IRS says this way you will
save money because you won’t have to
pay a penalty for filing late. You should
send as much money as you can with
your tax return.
Sometimes the IRS will let you pay
your taxes in installments. Other times
the IRS will as you to get a loan. You
may need to sell something to pay your
taxes.
One of the worst things to do is not
to file a tax return at all. That could add
a lot more to your taxes.
If you have any questions about
how to pay your taxes, you can call the
IRS. The number is 1-800-829-1040.
This is a toll-free telephone number.

If these people don’t acquire neces­
sary skills, they will not be able to break
the cycle of poverty. “Our students on
the most part are not asking for a hand
out, they are asking for a hand. If we
don’t establish a quality support system,
they wont be there when you and I need
them,” Carley stressed.
