Cities and counties should be alert to the recent court decision <br />prohibiting the expenditure of public funds to specifically support or <br />oppose ballot issues. In our opinion this decision would not preclude <br />a city or county from adopting a resolution in support of Amendment 3. <br />The League has established a "Home Rule" Political Action Committee to <br />receive and expend funds in support of the passage of this amendment. <br />Future efforts in support of Amendment 3 will be channeled through <br />this committee as indicated above. Cities and counties should limit <br />their expenditures, if any, of public funds to educational and <br />informative efforts. The League may assist in coordination of this <br />effort in the future. <br />Also enclosed is a resolution supporting the tenth amendment to the <br />U.S. Constitution and each city/county is requested to adopt similar <br />resolutions. <br />201 West Park Avenue • P.O.
