During their June 2003 meeting, the U.S. Conference of Mayors adopted several resolutions -- among them, opposing federal proposals to move Head Start to the states, opposing IRS initiatives to impose difficult new requirements on hard-working, low-income families applying for the EITC, and urging the federal government to boost education funds in order to cover the requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act.
