Suggestions on how to do this are enclosed. <br /> <br />CONCLUSION <br />No one wants to be blamed for property tax increases, and the legislature must have <br />support from you if they are to reject the Governor's proposal. Legislators must be <br />reminded that local officials are accountable to voters, too, and will use the power <br /> responsibly. Cities have not been united,,on the issue of LGA cutbacks and <br /> shifts and it has severely hampered our ~lobbying effort. (It still looks like <br />there will be an LGA freeze and payment shifts.)? We must unite and act now on this <br />issue or we run the risk of taking a giant step backward on the question of local <br />financial stability. ~ <br /> Without your help cities may end the legislativm session as losers in two ways - local <br /> government aids frozen and payments delayed; an~ no power to make up for cutbacks in <br /> state and federal programs by raising revenue lo~ally. <br /> <br />DS:PF:rn~n <br />Enc. <br /> <br /> <br />
