Chairperson IN RE: OPPOSITION TO SUBSTITUTE FOR HOUSE BiLL 4910 TO THE
OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, Substitute for House Bill 4910 would create a Bureau of
Community Services and a Commission On Economic and Social Opportunity within
the State Department of Labor; and WHEREAS, the bureau, which will be headed
by an appointed executive director shall serve as a statewide advocate for
social and economic opportunities for low income persons; and WHEREAS, the
Conmission, consisting of fifteen members appointed by the Governor, shall
provide an opportunity for low income persons to actively participate in the
development of policies and programs to reduce poverty; and WHEREAS, while
the bill's intent to help the poor seems commendable, Substitute for House
Bill 4910 would unnecessarily duplicate many services and create an elaborate
bureaucratic structure by statute; and WHEREAS, in times of limited resources
such as now, Michigan should be streamlining its administratlve services to
insure that dollars earmarked for helping the poor go directly for this cause
rather than for partially funding a new bureaucracy. NOW THEREFORE BE IT
RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners go on record as
opposing Substitute for House Bill 4910. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of
this resolution be sent to all the Representattves and Senators from Oakland
County and the County Legislative Agent. Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the
General Government Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
