MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #93047
BY: Commissioners Ruth A. Johnson, Dist. #1 and Don L. Wolf, Dist.
#19
IN RE: (Support) H.R. 140, MANDATE RELIEF ACT, AND H.R.886,
MANDATE STUDY COMMISSION
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, local and state government should not be responsible
for subsidizing federally mandated programs or required to enact
local taxes to support such unfunded mandates, and
WHEREAS, our citizens, like those throughout this Nation, have
been encumbered with an unprecedented tax burden, one which
diminishes our lifestyles, restricts our business development, and
inhibits financial growth, and
WHEREAS, the passage of H.R. 140 would protect states and
localities from future unfunded federal mandates by making any new
requirements applicable only if all funds necessary to pay the
direct costs incurred are provided by the federal government, and
WHEREAS, H.R. 886 would establish a commission to study
existing federal mandates to determine those which should be
eliminated, and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners does hereby support the passage of H.R. 140 and H.R.
886, and directs that certified copies of this resolution be sent
to our Congressional legislators and our legislative agent.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
