A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
OPPOSING PROPOSITION 167
WHEREAS, the current economic times have resulted in high
unemployment and an uncertain future for working Californians; and
WHEREAS, the State should be doing everything possible to
encourage employers to stay in California, not giving them more
reasons to eliminate jobs or leave; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 167 includes more than a dozen separate tax
increases - including property taxes, personal income taxes, taxes on
small businesses and insurance premiums; and
WHEREAS, it would drive more businesses and jobs out of
California potentially costing over 100,000 jobs; and
WHEREA8~ it would result in a host of unwanted consumer price
increases, including insurance premiums, residential and office rents,
gasoline prices, utility bills, banking costs; and
WHEREAS, the initiative does not earmark these new funds which
would therefore allow the State to divert the funds for their
purposes; and
WHEREAS, Proposition 167 would cause damage to California's
economic livelihood.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City
of Dublin opposes Proposition 167.
