Whereas
the City of
Louisville and the County of Jefferson
adopted, enacted and levied
of its citizens for the pur-
public mass transportation
in the commonwealth of Kentucky have
a tax upon the salaries and earnings
pose of operating and maintaining a
system, and,
Whereas it is the sense of the Common Council of the City
of Jeffersonville, in Clark County, Indiana, that such action is
beneficial to the citizens of that Kentucky area, and such citi-
zens in voting to levy such a tax upon themselves acted wisely
and demonstrated the high quality of the citizenry in general in
Louisville and Jefferson County,
However it is also the sense of the Common Council of the
City of Jeffersonville that those residents who live in the coun-
ties surrounding Jefferson County, Kentucky whether in Indiana
or Kentu.cky, who cannot utilize such mass transportation system
should not also be charged with assisting in the payment for
such system.
Be it therefore resolved that the City of jeffersonville
joins with the organization known as HALT, Inc. and all others
in the same situation in objecting to the assessing of residents
outside of Jefferson County, Kentucky, to pay for a transporta-
tion system that operates only within the said Jefferson County,
Kentucky and cannot equally serve all.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk-Treasurer of said City
of Jeffersonville, Indiana, is hereby ordered and directed to give
notice as provided by law.
Adopted by the Common Council of the City of jeffersonville,
Indiana, this ~ '~ day of March, 1975.
Presented by me as
of jeffersonville, this
Clerk-Treasurer to the Mayor of the City
day of March, 1975.
