RESOLUTION NO. 1147
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF GILROY, CALIFORNIA, URGING CONGRESSIONAL SUPPORT OF THE
CALIFORNIA ASSEMBLY JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 29.
WHEREAS, AJR 29 seeks relief for local governments through tax sharing
that would permit federal revenue or revenue sources to be returned to states and
local communities without restrictions, and;1
WHEREAS, this return of revenues would provide the opportunity to relieve
local property tax burdens and lessen the dependance on federal grant-in-aid pro-
grams, and;
WHEREAS, the lessening of this local dependancy upon federal aid would
strengthen home rule and diminish forced excessive local spending to match federal
grant-in-aid projects with the general affect being a strengthening of local govern-
ment and relief to local taxpayers, and;
WHEREAS, most local governments are currently faced with the need to seek
new revenue sources in order to carry out their local service demands.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Gilroy respectfully urges
the Congress of the United States to favorably consider AJR No. 29, and take the
necessary actions to implement such a tax sharing program.
