REPORT
By Mr, Edwards
IN RE: MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION NO,.5.348
ESTABLISHMENT OR AD HOC COMMITTEE TO STUDY TAX REFORM
The Committee on Committees, by Mr. Charles B. Edwards, Jr.,
Chairman, reports Miscellaneous Resolution No. 5348 with a recommenda-
tion that the resolution not be adopted for the reason that the
matter of property taxes is being covered under the present Committee
System by the Equalization and Legislative Committees and that there
is no need for an ad hoc committee to consider property taxes
separately.
"MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION NO, 5348
IN RE: ESTABLISHMENT OF AD HOC COMMITTEE TO STUDY TAX REFORM.
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
MR. CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
There has been much attention and discussion given to the
problem of ever-increasing property taxes country-wide, state-wide
and county-wide,
Oakland County has also received its share of complaints
and criticism from its citizens regarding alleged increases in
property taxes that are beginning in many cases to cause hardships.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners establish an Ad Hoc Tax Committee to find ways and
means to halt the spiraling increase on property taxes,"
Respectfully submitted,
Discussion followed.
The Chairman stated that Resolution #5348 was not adopted
due to lack of support.
