HomeMy WebLinkAboutResolution 1970 (12) RESOLUTION NO. 12-70
TO: THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS,
Door County, Wisconsin.
Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, it is common knowledge to the members of your undersigned
Committee, the members of this County Board, and to the people of the
State of Wisconsin generally that the real property taxes as presently
determined and assessed are repressive, discourage improvements, and
place an undue hardship on those with fixed incomes; and
WHEREAS, it generally appears that the real property tax burden to
a large extent is the result of increased costs of financing public
education; and
WHEREAS, it is the belief of your undersigned Committee that the
Wisconsin State Sales Tax is a more appropriate source of financing
a larger portion of the costs of public education,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Wisconsin County Board
Association consider the adoption and presentation of a resolution to
the Wisconsin State Legislature requesting legislation to make a larger
portion of the Wisconsin State Sales Tax available for and to be
allocated to the cost of the operation of our public school system; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that copies of this resolution be submitted
to the chairman of the respective county boards throughout the State of
Wisconsin and our own state legislators.
Dated this 19th day of May, 1970.
