BE IT RESOLVED, by the Mayor and Common Council of the City
of San Bernardino as follows:
6
WHEREAS, Proposition No. 1 on the November 6th ballot seeks
7
to rigidly implant in the California State Constitution, fiscal
8
restrictions which will severely hamstring the efforts of the
9
State, Counties, Cities and other agencies of local government to
10
deal with the inevitable new and changing conditions which will
11
confront them in the years ahead; and
12
WHEREAS, California's population and the attendant problems
13
are increasing and are not stable; virtually freezing revenue
14
available to the State to meet these needs, on the basis of
15
information accumulated in the past, can only mean the elimination
16
of services now performed by the State or the shifting of the
17
burden for these to local taxpayers; and
18
WHEREAS, the relatively insignificant reduction in income
19
tax granted by the Proposition would more than be wiped out by
unavoidable increases in Sales Tax and other tax levies borne by
the average taxpayer--taxes which would fall most heavily on Ipw
and middle income taxpayers;
24 as a "tax and expenditure limitations" measure, includes no
WHEREAS, this Initiative, while identified by the proponents
25 tangible guarantees that this can be accomplished--it asks,
26 instead, that the citizens of California, without question,
endorse this theoretical formula for solving the practical facts
27
28
of life for all time to come;

1
NOW, THEREFORE, THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
2
SAN BERNARDINO. do hereby go on record as opposing Proposition
3
No.1 in the special statewide election to be held November 6,
4
1973, and urge the electors of the City of San Bernardino and the
5
State of California to go to the polls on November 6th and cast a
6
resounding "NO" vote on this well-intentioned but potentially-
7
dangerous Constitutional amendment.

I HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing resolution was duly
9
adopted by the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San
10
Bernardino at a regular meeting thereof, held on the 15th day
II
