The goals and issues included in the package, <br />with their broad support, guide and strengthen NCACC representatives and staff as they <br />converse with individual legislators and committees on legislative matters. <br />NCACC began the process to develop its 2015 -16 Legislative Goals Package in July 2014. As <br />noted in Attachment 1, North Carolina counties have been asked to submit proposed legislative <br />goals for consideration for inclusion in the package, with a submittal deadline of September 19, <br />2014. <br />
