Attest:
/s/ Jamie A. Wolgemuth
County Administrator
Date: June 4, 2009

A RESOLUTION URGING THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO ADOPT A RESPONSIBLE BUDGET THAT MAINTAINS FUNDING FOR CORE GOVERNMENT SERVICES AND DOES NOT SHIFT COSTS TO THE LOCAL LEVEL.
WHEREAS, the Pennsylvania House and Senate are currently engaged in budget deliberations for the adoption of the 2009-2010 commonwealth budget to take effect when the current state fiscal year expires on June 30, 2009; and
WHEREAS, the commonwealth budget has deep and widespread impact on the overall financial standing of the county budget; and
WHEREAS, the Pennsylvania Senate has passed a budget bill with devastating cuts to core government services, including mandated and entitlement services that must be provided regardless of available funding from the state; and
WHEREAS, these cuts impact an array of services important to Lebanon County including the human services safety net that supports county residents in need, the judicial system and public safety, community and economic development, the environment, and industries such as tourism and agriculture; and
WHEREAS, the Lebanon County board of commissioners has an obligation and responsibility to balance its budget while relying nearly exclusively on the property tax for local revenue; and
WHEREAS, the Lebanon County board of commissioners also opposes actions by state leaders which limit fiscal authority and superimpose state priorities over priorities developed locally, and
WHEREAS, a state budget that fails to fund the state’s obligations for core government services does not result in real taxpayer savings because a greater burden of costs for these services is passed to the local level; and
WHEREAS, a commonwealth budget that passes costs to the local level will be detrimental to the property tax payers of this county.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF LEBANON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, THAT:
-
The Lebanon County Board of Commissioners hereby joins with counties across the state in urging the General Assembly to adopt a responsible budget that maintains funding for core government services and does not shift costs to the local level.
