Commissioners Minutes Continued. November 2, 1972
WHEREAS the federal government provides an equal amount, and
WHEREAS in other states the federal government supplies up to 904 of the total, and
WHEREAS this inequity is compounded by the fact that Michigan is one of the highest benefit
states, and
WHEREAS it is not fair to Michigan- taxpayers to pay 507, when taxpayers in other states pay
10 or 15V, of an even smaller sum, and
WHEREAS welfare payments to welfare recipients in some states average approXimately three
times as much as other states, and
WHEREAS this results in the poor flocking to the areas which are relatively generous, and
WHEREAS a federal take-over of the welfare program could stabilize the payment's at a IcveT
which would stop the migration of the poor to areas that are already over-populated, and
WHEREAS it could rescue many cities from a bankruptcy that is being imposed upon them by
the present program;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners strongly urge our
United States Senators and Congressmen to give immediate, serious consideration and whole hearted support
to developing a federal equal payment plan to welfare recipients in all states to reduce unfair
differentials between one state and another;
