A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LODI
SUPPORTING A RETURN TO A PART --TIME STATE LEGISLATURE
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Lodi has been
informed that Senator H. L. Richardson plans to introduce
legislation to return the State Legislature back to a
part-time basis due to the inefficiency and excessive cost of
a full-time Legislature; and
WHEREAS, the Lodi City Council has expressed its
concern on many occasions that the full-time Legislature has
introduced an excessive number of legislative bills each year
causing cities additional expenses simply to keep track of the
legislation; and
WHEREAS, many of the laws passed by the Legislature
have caused additional cost to cities and the Legislature has
gone to extremes to circumvent legislation they passed which
requires the State to reimburse cities for these additional
costs, thereby indicating a total disregard for city, county
and special district agencies budgetary constraints after
Proposition 13; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of Lodi believes that the
part-time Legislature prior to 1955 was more responsive to
local governments' concerns than the full-time Legislature.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of
the City of Lodi that it endorses the proposal of Senator
H. L. Richardson to return the State Legislature to a
part-time basis.
