"Most people focus their political energies on what's happening in Washington, D.C. or in Tallahassee, but in fact it is our cities that have the most direct impact on our daily lives," said John Marks, president, Florida League of Cities and mayor of Tallahassee. "Service delivery sometimes goes unnoticed by the general public. Everything from effective police and fire safety and efficient garbage collection to well-maintained roads designed with well-timed traffic lights are among the most important city services provided to citizens."

The Florida League of Cities released the compelling video messages for distribution on their Facebook page and Web site, as well as distributed them to cities for their Web sites across Florida. The League is also submitting the messages as public service announcements to Florida broadcast and cable television stations and is making them available to city-operated television stations across the state.
