Your Committee, at its meeting held on October 14, 1971, adopted the following resolution and
herewith submits said resolution to this Board for its consideration and approval:
BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners of the County of Oakland objects to the decision
rendered in the case of the Judges of the 3rd Judicial Circuit of the State of Michigan vs. County of
Wayne, the Board of Supervisors of the County of Wayne, Board of Auditors of Wayne County, Treasurer of
Wayne County for it is an unwise encroachment on the powers of the legislative body in that it denies
that body the right to weigh priorities and needs of all other departments and agencies of county govern-
.ment. Further, that the safeguards against the demands of the judiciary by review by the Supreme Court
Administrator is inadequate and could result in taxes in excess of the Constitutional limit of 15 mills.

Counties.
