Support: 

  • Revenue reform allowing each level of government to adequately finance its service responsibilities, with each being accountable to taxpayers for its own programs.
  • Secure fiscal independence and a sound intergovernmental financial structure.
  • Ensure the integrity of existing city revenue sources including the city share and situs allocation, of property tax, sales tax, vehicle license fees, etc.
  • Preserve local authority to regulate and manage public-rights-of-way to zone and to collect just and fair compensation.
  • Reform the state-mandated programs approval and reimbursement process to ensure prompt reimbursement to local government.

Oppose: 

  • Deferral of reimbursements for State-Mandated programs.
  • Preemption of municipal regulatory authority for franchising, zoning and local land use decisions. 
  • Fiscal policies, which would diminish the ability of local government to respond to local economic, needs and erode revenues.
