RESOLUTION NO.50 -1976
WHEREAS, the State Legislature is constantly enacting
laws to expand existing programs and to establish new programs
without appropriating sufficient state funds to finance said
programs, and

the part of the legislature, the counties are burdened with the
cost of financing such programs, in whole or in part, nothwith-
standing the fact that the legislature has at the.same time cur-
tailed the counties' ability to raise funds through ad valorem
taxes, now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA, as follows:
1. That the State Legislature is requested not to en-
act any further legislation expanding existing programs or establish-
ing new ones unless sufficient state funds are appropriated to fully
finance such programs.
2. That the State Association of County Commissioners
and the Chamber of Commerce are urged to support this request in
order that the desired results may be obtained.
