Read for the first time January ll, 1972. Adopted January 11, 1972.
TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE AND THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRE-
SENTATIVES AND TO THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED
STATES, IN CONGRESS ASSEMBLED:
We, your Memorialists, the City Council of Port Angeles in the
State of Washington, respectfully petition as follows:
WHEREAS, A resolution of our nation's myriad and diverse do-
mestic problems is contingent upon a viable partnership between the
federal government and strengthened local governments; and
WHEREAS, Increasing demands upon local governments for essen-
tial public services have compelled the cities and counties to rely
heavily on highly regressive and inelastic consumer taxes and property
taxes; and
WHEREAS, Federal revenues based predominantly on income taxes
increase significantly faster than economic growth, while state and
local revenues based heavily on sales and property taxes do not keep
pace with economic growth; and
WHEREAS, The fiscal crisis at state and local levels has be-
come the overriding problem of intergovernmental relations and of con-
tinuing a viable federal system; and
WHEREAS, The evident solution to this problem is a meaningful
sharing of federal income tax resources; and
WHEREAS, The United States Congress, despite the immediate
and imperative need therefor, has failed to enact acceptable revenue
sharing legislation; and
WHEREAS, Further delay in enactment of this vitally needed
federal legislation will further worsen the financial crisis faced
.
.
by local and state governments in the State of Washington;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, By the City Council of the
City of Port Angeles in the State of Washington, that the Congress of
the United States pursuant to the authority invested in it does make
available each year to local and state governments, by means of direct
allocation without limiting directly or indirectly the use of such
monies for any purpose not inconsistent with any other provision of
the Constitution of the United States; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That this vitally needed legislation
be immediately passed by the Congress of the United States now assembled
so as to provide for the maintenance of existing and desired level of
essential City Services.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That copies of this Memorial be
immediately transmitted by the City Clerk to the President of the
Senate of the United States, the speaker of the House of Representatives
of the United States, and to each member of the Congress from this
state.
