BY: Mr. Ingraham
IN RE: OPPOSE CLOSING OF CERTAIN VA FACILITIES
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the Oakland County Veterans Affairs Commission, with concurrence
of the Veterans Affairs Committee of the Oakland County Board of Supervisors, referred
a resolution for consideration by your Legislative Committee; and
WHEREAS, said resolution opposes contemplated action by the Federal Government
which would result in closing certain VA Facilities, Hospitals, Regional Offices and
Domiciliaries; and
WHEREAS, your Legislative Committee has seriously considered the matter and
believes that such action would adversely affect Michigan facilities by further adding to
their burden at a time when they are already inadequate to serve the needs of Michigan's
900,000 veteran population;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Supervisors hereby
recommends against such closings of the aforementioned VA Facilities; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this resolution be forwarded
to Michigan's United States Senators Patrick V. McNamara and Philip A. Hart and
Congressmen William S. Broomfield and Billie S. Famum.
MR. CHAIRMAN, on behalf of the Legislative Committee of the Oakland County
Board of Supervisors, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
