WHEREAS, there is pending in the U.S. Senate, Senate Bill #2948; which
provides for "Revenue Sharing" with states and local units of government; and

is one of the few remaining sources of sorely needed revenues to meet the growing needs

people as possible at the local level of government which is closest to and most respon-
sive to the people is desirable; and
WHEREAS, Oakland County wishes to go on record in support of this legislation
and to do all it can to gain support for and passage of U.S. Senate Bill #2948;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Oakland County Board of Com-
missioners totally favors and supports the concept of "Revenue Sharing" and the passage
of U.S. Senate Bill #2948, providing for the commencement of a Revenue Sharing program;.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that copies of the resolution be sent to all sponsors
of the Bill in the U.S. Senate, each state association of counties, the National Association

Legislator from Oakland County, and the Governor of the State of Michigan with a request
to all to lend their support to Revenue sharing and U.S. Senate Bill #2948.
