RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, the disastrous impact on units of local government of a
U.S. Supreme Court decision in the Boulder, Colorado anti-trust case,
and other similar case decisions,will not only be costly to municipali-
ties in dollars, but the right of local self-government will be severely
damaged; and
WHEREAS, these decisions will make local governments unable to
govern in a manner necessary to protect the health, safety and welfare
of their local citizens; and
WHEREAS, dedicated, qualified, competent and honest elected officials
will no longer seek public office; and
HWEREAS, the threat of lawsuits being brought for no other purpose
than to intimidate local governments to give in to private interests is
creating fear in the hearts of all local government officials and having
an adverse affect on these officials being able to carry out their official
duties; and
WHEREAS, government of the people, by the people and for the people,
will suffer adversely.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Mayor and City Council of the
City of McHenry, McHenry County, Illinois that the City strongly urges
the passage of Senate Bill S1578 in order to alleviate the effects of
these recent Court decisions so that we can proceed with the purpose of
our existence - the protection of the health, safety and welfare of our
citizens.
