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.
