WHEREAS the Detroit Free Press has recently editorialized in favor of full disclosures of
campaign funding, citing the public's "need to know who pays for politics" and stating that proper

advisable at the federal level, and such disclosure by Michigan's representatives in Congress has already
been made,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners endorses the
principle of full public disclosure of funds relating to politics or public office, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners calls for public
disclosure of the net assets in stocks, bonds, real estate or other holdings of all public officials
and appointed administrators of Oakland County government.
Mr, Chairman, I move the foregoing resolution and request that it be referred to the Finance

240, and
WHEREAS your Committee recommends that the cost, estimated at $5,400,000, be financed through
the Building Authority,
