Each year the NFL Network ranks top 100 players in the NFL. Since the ranking is released in the summertime when there are no games to talk about, the ranking draws a few headlines, and better yet, a few angry tweets from players who feel they undervalued.
Local government and the NFL are basically one in the same, so today, we launch a call for nominations for the top local government influencers in the country. You can nominate anyone who works for a city, county, or special district. In the coming days, ELGL members will be able to view the list of nominees. This list will be updated daily.
