Miscellaneous Resolution 7050 April 9, 1975
BY: GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE - Henry W. Hoot, Chairman
IN RE: OPPOSITION TO H.B. 4316 - GREYHOUND RACING IN MICHIGAN
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS there now is pending H. B. 4316 which proposes to create, within the
Department of Agriculture, the Office of Greyhound Sports Racing Commissioner and permit
the licensing of not more than ten (10) greyhound race tracks in the State; and
WHEREAS your Committee recommends opposition to H. B. 4316 for reasons that
sufficient legalized gambling now exists with horse racing and lottery and any other form of
gambling would create insurmountable problems not in the best interests of the County of
Oakland;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the County of Oakland opposes H. B. 4316
and so recommends to the County Legislators.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of the foregoing resolution be
forwarded to the County's Legislators and Legislative Agent.
The General Government Committee, by Henry W. Hoot, Chairman, moves the
adoption of the foregoing resolution.
