RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF SB -290 (FORAN)
TRANSPORTATION FINANCE
WHEREAS, local governments are now experiencing an annual
funding shortfall from local streets and roads of between $400 and
$800 million dollars; and
WHEREAS, local transit systems are also facing a major
shortfall in funding; and
WHEREAS, Congress is intending to cut Federal Revenue
Sharing to local governments in California and Federal Subsidies to
transit; and
WHEREAS, local street and road funding must have an
immediate infusion of dollars to prevent taxpayers paying three to
four times more to repair that system in the future; and
WHEREAS, Senator John Foran has taken the leadership role in
introducing SB -290 a comprehensive transportation finance package
for state and local government; and
WHEREAS, SB -290 is the most important transportation finance
package to local governments in twenty years; and
WHEREAS, the local transportation system is in need of a
stable and predictable source of revenue; and
WHEREAS, without this additional revenue the survivability
of Lodi's streets, roads and alleys is questionable.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that the City of Lodi
indicates its full support for Senator Foran's SB -290
